41 degrees here at the moment.

Amazon.com has a neon Ford man cave sign, but it is over $100, so I will not be getting that. LOL

Have a safe trip Scott.

Car broke down last night. Both upper and lower control arms destroyed on passenger side. Scared the heck out of me when it happened, and I thank God I was not on the freeway. Going to cost $393 to repair.

Merry Christmas to you too.

Car is fixed already, but the shop can't take credit cards as their machine is down. So I tried to get a cash advance from a local ATN only to find out that it has a $200 limit. On top of that, it did not work. So I tried a (no surcharge) atm about a mile away, and it too had a $200 limit. Don't want to get two $200 cash advances because Capital One charges $25 for each one.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Got colder than usual last night, and the front yard is white with frost. Guess we got a White Christmas after all.
