Ready for Christmas

IMGP2118

Hello to all,What a busy weekend it’s been. Our family had the Christmas party for our home school group on Friday evening. My wife put alot of hard work into planning for this event and it was a big success.

I sure hope everyone is ready for Christmas. Nobody wants to trek those malls in the next couple of weeks. Way too busy for me.

Remember to winterize your outside faucets before you leave home on your next run. Also, make sure you have plenty of warm clothing in your truck. A candle might be a good addition as it can provide enough heat if you get stranded. As long as the cold doesn’t get below 50, I don’t even bother to turn on the heat in the Cascadia. It stays warm enough due to the fact it’s so well insulated.

Tomorrow, I’ll leave out for my run to Texas. Be safe and stay warm.

Henry
