If I knew it was going to be this warm yet, I would have registered the new vette and had a spin with it.

We got spoiled yesterday, now we get to pay for it!
Hopefully there will be a little white stuff on the ground for Christmas!

right now we're in Michigan, driving south on I-75...just passed exit 29. Yvonne is driving this first leg of the trip home and we're getting blown all over the road.

The flatness of this part of Michigan does nothing to break-up this wind.

The wind is bad-lots of BIG things down here in West Michigan. Please let us know when you are back so we know you and Yvonne arrived safe Unless you get blown to like Hawaii

just got home.

I took over driving at Lima Ohio. I know Yvonne was glad to not be driving anymore.

There's a similar wind advisory here in Dayton... just isn't feeling as strong, I thing the more hilly terrain tends to block the full force of the winds.

I'm on the couch for the rest of the day...
