We have an agreement that hardware (cars, kitchen appliances, etc.) are NOT Christmas presents.
This works well,even though the Challenger 8,000 lb 2 post lift now in the garage was not a Christmas present, it seems like it! I am getting far too old to dive under cars, then back up for tools too many times.
Unfortunately. the Outback will not even fit into the garage! The five cars do.
Christmas has brought Brian back from his first semester at Western Carolina University and we have had his company plus his camping friends over. College students are a little different than high school, but we welcome the company, as it has been pretty guiet around here.
For those who know us, we have bought property in Maggie Valley and we brought the Outback home in November and will return to Maggie after the treck to Sebring in March for the 12 hour race. (5 days of dry camping)
We have not been camping much except in Maggie, but with gas under $3.00 in N GA, (thought I would never be thrilled with that number), we might venture out more in the spring after Brian returns to school.
Our presents are that we are all in good health, have a great home, and Outback, and after a year with three deaths of people close to us, we are looking forward to a new year. To all our friends on this site, Merry Christmas (late) and Happy New Year!
Best to all,
Dave, Linda and Brian
