She was impressed with Paul's time this year. Her goal is to take him down next year. Barry and Tim? Don't think so. She is thinking about walking on to SH's Cross Country Team next year. She will get her butt kicked but will be in super shape.

Norm- Let me know if that works

Nice pic and good meet up. We need to plan for a Sox game next year. Are there pre-game tailgate opportunities available?

Not much has changed here. We are hoping to take some kind of vacation before Spring but it won't be Disney.

Third is probably the Myrtle Beach area, possibly with our daughter and 2 grandkids. This all depends on how my DW feels, which isn't great. She sees a new neurologist this week and we're hoping that sheds some light on some things.
Other than that, I'm just trying to hang in.
Hope everyone else is well and enjoying Winter!

Hey Mike. Best to you and your wife. How about some pictures of your son and the Blue Angels in the coming year? We haven't seen him in a while.

Well with being a single dad it's a lot diff, the next 2 trips are really only plausible because I have SW flight vouchers so that helps, after these 2 , I would like to do HHI like I talked to you about before, that is drivable (WDW is also drivable but DD would be driving me nuts) so waiting on that till she's older but the march trip budget I would say is $1500, the DL trip since I rented pts will prob borderline 2k, but also that's me and DD so I would imagine yours would prob be quite a bit more

I got my car back, it took awhile since everything was showing OK, so after my mechanic called me a few times (he knows I'm usually pretty accurate with pinpointing the problem) while I was on the phone with him it finally acted up, it did turn out to be the alternator like I thought, but if someone who had no idea about cars brought it in most likely it would have been going back to the shop, The alt was pretty pricey like I thought it would be and with a oil change it came to $366, not bad for not having to break down somewhere

Pricey, but better than being stranded and better than a car payment.

DW and I drove for our honeymoon to save $, but I probably would fly if it is just the two of us. Everything is x4 for the next decade.

Just all our usual words of wisdom. :fart:

Glad it was just the alternator.

Send some of that white stuff this way. It is below zero here and there is no snow on the ground.

I think we're getting unaided by southerners. They are canceling evening activities because the wind chill is only -20

I sense the penguins are mobilizing.

Agreed. It is supposed to be 13 degrees tomorrow morning here. A pile of snow means another day off and not having to go outside. I really need to convince DW to move to CJ's front yard with me.

As long as I have the fear of her shiving me, I'll always have the need to be a few steps ahead.



Or out of the race. That may be safer, and less exhausting.


Seriously, if she starts training more, me and my achilles are cooked.
