I had just returned from being in Vegas for five days, and was super used up. I went downstairs to quickly draw up a stack, and when I emerged to let Jeff into the house, two inches of snow covered the ground. This was the beginning of metal night #2. We both did a great job of digging deeper on this one. Jeff made up for my lack of prep time with some heavy lifting…he did his homework…and delivered a few things I’d never heard before. Canada and the Northwest were well represented, as they should be.
