Sorry to hear about the pneumonia Zam. Glad you are getting back to somewhat normal feeling. The cold temps are not bad to deal with. It helps we run year-round so we get used to breathing as temps drop.

Posta be two storms coming in again this week. Maybe some rain and colder. I may have to find a pair of long pants and start wearing my shoes.
91 Astro EXT; never liked GM till i stumbled into this van. Free just for dragging it out of a field. Ran like a scalded cat, had 53K miles and completely rusted out brake lines. Been all over North America, lots of fire roads and no roads; fully loaded and towing constantly. Average 21 mpg. I recently (by accident) found out she now has 265,886.4 miles without so much as a tuneup, and only 1 oil change. And still no leaks. MAN I LOVE THIS VAN !
