Hi Ken,

Wow, that spring looks painful! Hope it's not causing you too much discomfort :BigGrin: . I love the powerchains, very colourful!!

I think I read somewhere on another one of your posts that you're a big NASCAR fan....me too!! You'll find me in front of the TV every weekend watching whichever race is one whether it's Nationwide, Sprint, Truck series...if it's one, I watch it! I went to a race last Sept. in NH(my first and only) and I'm itching to go again. How often do you get to a race?
Keep smilin'! :)

I hope it keeps going well and that springs does what its supposed to. I am sending super spring vibes your way :-* :-* :-*

All the best

GO 88

CYA Later! Ken.
Haha! Funny you should say that! I waited in traffic for 3.5 hours just to get to the highway! I had my mom and oldest son with me and, man, was it looooong! Of course, stupid me, parked at the back parking lot cuz it was closest walk to the track...lesson learned :lol: . I've been on a tour of Daytona International Speedway and it was cool and huge too!

Go 88!! That says it all!! :banana: He was so close last weekend, he's bound to win one soon.

BTW, I had tears running down my cheeks laughing so hard at your post about Hannah "moving" her lawn....wouldn't that be great to be able to do that? :wink: Glad to hear the gaps are getting smaller!!
Keep smilin'! :)

Hi Ken!

Glad things are getting easier for ya! Those springs are a pain... and cleaning them is even more of a pain. Thank goodness for waterpiks and those tiny brushes! I guess I've gotten used to it. I've had those springs for about 2 months it seems... not sure. :?

Oh and the Ohio weather is the pits man! I hate it. I'm so ready for spring!!! I mean I know it's supposedly here but ummmm hello! Can we get some sunshine!?! :D

Rain, rain... go away! :evil:

I just put up new pics on my story complete with springs and elastics... :D

Hope things are well. Cross your fingers for some sunshine here!
