Woke up this morning to a flat tire. Yaaaa....I get to do something to my van.
263,000 miles and still running as good as the day I bought it. The trip to Letchworth State Park was great. It's always great to see my Northeast family. Although some have yet to show up (Dean).
263,000 and counting

Glad the van is still running great! As for showing up, my shift schedule rotates about every 5-7 years where I will get Memorial weekend off for several years in a row where right now I am working that weekend every year. We do hope to make it sometime in the very near future.

Good to hear , Skip. I mean about the mileage, not the flat.
It looked fresh when I saw it.

I've had it painted since you last saw it, Tom. This 18 year old van looks new. I have friends that own a high end paint and body shop here in Orlando. The guys did a superb job.
