'jever get that Eagle running again? That's a good winter project....uh, wait a minute, you're in Ohio, the Eagle is probably frozen to the garage floor! :gig: :gig: (Just kidding, when we lived there, our car tires would frequently freeze to the slab)

No about the eagle :cry2: I have bid on a couple blocks but lost out to them. :cry2: I need to be a little conservative with my spare cash.I did get the VXII winter serviced but also want to have the money to get to Ashville this year,so the Eagle is not top priority,besides my wife has been after me for new carpet[which she just got]ever since I got the VX II :hmm:

Chuck and Ruthie are not being very nice.
Here in Southern Illinois we are experiencing a very cold winter. The temps. are pretty low and all of us are about tired of it.
Say Chuck, can we come visit you?

No gloating here. We've had twice as much bad weather this Winter as last year.
Heck, we've had almost a week - a couple of days at a time. ;-)

Sorry..... :devl I just have to say that its supposed to be almost 80* down the hill tomorrow. I will be leaving around 11am for a short 80 mile jaunt to meet with a realtor. With as much as we are having to help our mothers now, we need to be closer than 100 miles....1 way. I can say its was probably a blessing in disguise that we decided to rent here in the desert and not buy.

See ya on the highway! :tong:
