Anyone coming to the Charleston area in 2023? Stop by and say hey.

OMG I know exactly how you feel. We lived in Geauga county for a couple of years, near Kent / Streetsboro area. While we were there THE wife found a great Christmas tree farm. Well, when we moved back to the west side of town she decided that we had to go there to get our tree. I loaded her and the kids up in a Reliant K car, drove 1.5 hours to the other side of town for the tree. She picks one I tell her is too big for our house but I proceeded to cut it down under protest. Kent is in the snow belt and we are getting hammered. coming across 480 from 271 they are closing the highway as we pass each exit. We get off near Rt 83 to head north to Avon Lake. We are the ONLY ones on the road. Took us almost 4 hours to get home. Those from the area will understand the road references. BTW: I had to cut 3 feet off the bottom of the @#$^# tree.

Eileen and I have lived in this house for almost 25 years. We love it here but as we get older, it is a lot to take care of. Therefore, we have started thinking about downsizing and buying a smaller place. Mainly a MUCH smaller yard. We knew that this day would likely come but really had no plans to do it anytime soon. Probably won't do anything until at least the spring or summer but I think the time has come. We are going to start looking around a bit to see what is available in the price range that we plan to be in. It will be hard to leave though.

Kris has been scheduled to be released from the VA Rehab center noon Friday. The following surgery has not been scheduled yet. Again, thank you all for your prayers and support. All the medical teams involved thus far have commented and praised her support from family and friends and that includes all of you.

Replaced the fuel pump points and rerouted the gas filter under the seat. 54k and still had the original filter. Cleaned and added dialectic grease to whatever electrical connections I came across. Changed the oil. Flushed out the overflow tank. Just waiting on the carbs and valve cover gaskets to come Monday.
