Yes I should have followed your advice sir johannpiber! I always try to challenge myself but sometimes I need to remember that I'm not in my 20s anymore. lol.

A white beard??? No way! What color are mountain goat's beards? White? lol. And 6 inches long, that is pretty darn impressive. Did you ever think about keeping it growing and get it like one of those ZZ Top guys?

then when you ride your bike your beard would be flowing over your shoulder a couple of feet!

I agree, -1 C would be a little too mild for your winters but over here and down here in TX it's rather chilly. lol. But not enough to freeze your beard in place!

Hey, speaking of winters, last winter over there winter never really came. I remember that it almost didn't snow. Is this winter a normal one?
