At last starting to catch up on things. All stoves now operating but the DVC gave me grief. Got the Blizzaks out of the basement into the back of the 7.3 but the truck will not start. Shelley got a superior rider to ride her super horse until she recovers and rides again. Spring we hope. The lady LOVED her horse and is sure she could get all sorts of money for it as she moves in very elevated circles. Well she did do until hundreds of tons of snow came off the roof (of course when she was riding). The horse spooked and slammed her into the end of the ring in a dead gallop. Orange Regional Hosp. was her next stop. Another great day. :no1:

Seems like you have had lots of luck, all bad. That pendulum is bound to start swinging the the other way though.

Thank you F for those kind words but things are not all bad. MRI scan shows shrinkage. Inflammation cancer markers are dropping already much to everyones surprise. Fevers are getting less and she is now sleeping though the night and she has put on a little weight and is eating like a horse. It's a marathon not a sprint and we may yet lose but so far not all bad at all.... no complaints.

As long as FF does not pray for us we may yet win this one. :D :clap:

That sense of humor can go a long way in helping others to heal too.

Benny, those would make me great summer tires. Up here we don't have any leaves for 7 months of the year, and usually drive on a snow/ice packed roads for Jan & Feb - the soft compound of a snow tire really helps. This time I also got them studded.

If you have not run Michelin tires before you are in for a treat. I think they ride better than anything else.

How's it going fellow burners? Had a very busy weekend with a surprise party, company Christmas part, and some out of town guests!! Wow glad It's over so now It's back to normal for awhile :D .
I did get all my parts for the stair project I'm undertaking now I have no excuses for not having anything to do.

Tell Shelly to keep up the good work Simon :yes: Thats some good news!
Now thats a nice big tree Tyler, I wish I had tall ceilings like that makes the house more elegant.

Have a good week my friends :)

Just getting out of work! Seems Bad Weather equals Car Vs. Pole Accidents! You've probably figured out that the car never wins in that deal.. The pole lost badly too,to the tune of being blown into 40' worth of 4 shattered sections... Time marches on. Nice to see the update on Your Long Suffering Better Half,Simon! Drive this like You've stolen it,and no looks in the rear view mirror allowed! As for the Rest of You Bonafide Carbon Adventurers,keep it on the tracks toward Christmas!!

Michelin Pilot MX on the Mustang on snow and ice trying to get to Chester Valley Tire to get the Blizzaks refitted after 18" of snow and 2" ice. I bet that will be fun.
