Merry Chirstmas!
I notice three things about that pic.
1. That is one handsome van.
2. There is a Christmas tree on top.
3. There is NO snow on the ground.

If I was a snarky individual, I might suspect 9dawgs was was poking a bit of fun at my northern brethren :poke:
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....

Haha, my wife said we got one around the same time last year. I thought we got our tree early this year but I guess not. Anytime after Thanksgiving is fair game for Christmas Greetings as far as I'm concerned.

And yes, I've been a little quiet on here. Life is just too busy lately it seems. I have new grandchildren and there just isn't enough hours in the day anymore for much else. Although expect to see some awesome 2010 Hunt-Camp pictures in the next couple of weeks. Me and the boys will be heading north on 12/9 to try and stock up the freezer for the winter.

Oh, and about the lack of snow, I guess it's hard for it to form when its 68 degrees out! :yikes: It will be colder in north Florida though. It will get into the 30s at night and that's plenty cold when camping #-o
