During the cold, icy days in Tennessee!
Pic taken for Winter 2014... I think sometimes in Jan 2015.
I got off work around 11:30pm and had to drive up to Knoxville which took 2 hours because all the snow on the interstate and stuff. Had a few slight spin but nothing major, went out and knock snow buildup off the tire and carry on. I think it kinda screw up the brakes a bit but the breaks is mostly working. Ouch.

The joys of time, tires don't last like they used to, my spare is 30+ old, the tires under the van are about 10, and rotten, air leaked out of a crack in the side of one of my rear tires, they all are pretty cracked up. Been trying to get some steel 15" wheels, 5 on 4 1/2", all I found were 14's, which is what I have, and no light truck tires made for those, putting car tires on the back of my van wasn't an option, have to upsize, the interior has made it heavy. Gonna be broke the rest of the year, I had to order 2 15" wagon wheels, cheapest option, with 2 tires, cover them just 2 at a time, other upsize reason was the disc brake upgrade will require larger wheels.
I've had everything thrown at me, missed my meetup with friends, now I know why, had I gone, I'd have been on the mountain roads with a tire about to fail and no spare. I spent a fortune getting ready for that event, a lot of debt to get my van roadworthy, where my other van repair cost was set quite high, I went with the lesser, which is turning out to not be.

Just can't get ahead it seems, need plugs and coil packs on my 99, and 2 front tires, those ain't cheap either, the suffering when driving old vehicles, I hate debt, anyone interested in a subwoofer?

Memphis area still has a lot of green leaves on trees. Some are turning now. Some are bare. Had a rainy few days last week. Still got to cut grass one more time. Shopping yesterday with lots of Christmas music playing in the background.

With nobody coming for Thanksgiving and the wife having some health issues that need to be addressed in the next couple of weeks, I'm cooking the Turkey dinner today.
