Hey, forgot to say the Gus stories will be on hold for awhile, you probably figured that out. Back in the beginning of November Lynda and I were out cleaning up the last of the leaves. WHN came over and gave Lynda a hug and said they were leaving. Lynda said, What was that all about? I don't even know her. Think she may have said hi to her a few times but that's about it.

Anyway they were leaving the next day. Flying to CA then going on a cruise ship from there to HI and back. Then going to Gus's villa in FL. We did get a Christmas card from them, had a picture of them all decked out for dinner on the cruise ship. We framed that one and hung it up next to the other picture Christmas cards we got from them. Had to take down some family pictures to make room but it was worth it.

I wish they had stuck around and gotten a new roof this year but didn't happen. At least we have something to look forward to next spring when they return. Gus will probably have it done then, if he lives that long.

Oh my neighbor Darryl got his car back from the builder. He drove it around and it still has an oil leak, still looks like rear main seal. They fixed the dash pad, some, but it's still not right. They also didn't do anything about fixing how the convertible top rails come down and don't straighten out. So of course the windows still don't seal up correctly.

I haven't seen it yet, he stopped over a week or so ago to bring my hitch insert back and he told me about it. He also brought me a case of Yuengling for helping him. He didn't need to do that but damn that's good beer. It's brewed in PA, you can get it in OH and even in FL but they don't distribute in MI. If you ever come across some give it a try.

So after the holidays I'll go over and check out his car. We've been busy and so has he. Maybe we can take care of some of the issues.
