Joe, glad that you are doing better. I chuckled 
at Rocky's comment "don't overdo" because it reminded me of when the doctor told my Dad to :"take it easy". After he came home from the office visit , my mother & I heard a loud crash outside & there was Dad holding an axe - he'd just chopped down a tree. My mother turned to me & said: "Your father cannot call a halt." (he was always "your father" when he was in trouble. Ha! 
) So glad you're outta the hospital and enjoying the outdoors!
Rocky - I'll keep you in my prayers Easter Sunday for your MRI. Make sure you have EXTRA
treats after you get THAT over with! My mother loved banana splits, so after an MRI or ultrasound - I'd get her the most over-the-top banana split imaginable , loaded with nuts, fudge sauce, and whipped cream.
On the old wool uniforms & leggings - when my father arrived at Camp Edwards 181st infantry
regiment in '41, alot of the guys were issued actual WW1 uniforms. From the YD historian:
"It was not unusual for a man to reach into one of the pockets and find a PX receipt dated 1918. Wrap leggings, called puttees, extended from just below the kneew (2 fingers below was regulation) to the ankle, with the end-tie tucked back into the wrap just below the tops of the high brown shoes. If the men wound the wrap too tight, it would cut off the circulation, and if too loose, it would slide down to their ankles."
"On a long march, the end of the wrap would occasionally come loose and begin to unravel. Those following next in the column would step on the wrap further pulling it undone to trail several feet behind the marcher, who was usually too exhausted to stop & fix the problem. Some of the men 'got smart' and used safety pins to secure the ends. The Army later replaced the wrap leggings with canvas ones. Non-coms taught the new soldiers to put the hooks on the outer side of their legs so they wouldn't snag as they tried to walk."
