I tip my hat to you.

It'll be interesting to see how those Brussels sprouts fared during the unusually cold (-14, with -45 wind-chills) and snowy period we've just experienced. They're resting under a couple of feet of snow right now but the path is dug to within 15 feet of them, so maybe I'll get it finished today.
