Last pic should be your Christmas card.

Santa in his sleigh.

Strap some jingle bells to the bottom...

Best snow days are when the sun is shining, tshirt weather.

I need to find some snow this year.

A guy from our SoCal chapter visited Wyoming recently. He posted pics of a hunting trip and snow flurries. Man, a twinge of home sickness hit me.

Thanks

Generally speaking who needs a gall bladder anyway....guess I don't, so the doc says. So out with mine on Thursday.

Guess I will not be leaning over the ol Ford core support this weekend working on anything.

That sounds great, at least you have an appointment for surgery, most people that I know have been rushed to the ER.

I was told that I was prediabetic, back in April. I changed my food habits and am now 35 lighter. The doctor says that I have the body of a very fit 62 year old man!

Too bad that I am only 45...

Rich,
Wish you the best, full and speedy recovery. You may already know that you'll have to avoid certain of foods post surgery.
On a different note, let yourself get recovered before heading to your local JY looking for a firewall wire retainer for me. No hurry on that, just focus on following Doctor's post surgery orders. Take care
Regards, Don (EQCMCAT)

You will not need to be leaning over the ol' Ford core support this weekend anyway. Willie Nelson says:


"Nothing lasts forever like Old Fords and a natural stone".




Good luck & hurry back.

Thursday surgery is a good way to get a 4 day weekend.

Rich,
You will be feeling better in no time, and with your new diet, will drop a few pounds to boot.

Get well.
