--- The one thing is miss, is my old neighborhood where everything was buried. Except for the power lines that carried the power to the 'hood itself, we never had an issue that was 'local' to me I've also lived with big trees and that is a recipe for discomfort once they get to be about 50 years old....
Well at least you won't have to go out and heat up the motor home to watch the Pack play anymore this winter, unless you've converted to a Lion's fan for the playoffs like I have since the last two debacles the Vike's were involved with.
I’d probably keep the Outback & the Ranger. Jeep has some years on it.Never driven a RAV4. The car I wish I kept was a 2000 Maxima. We let my daughter drive once she could drive. She traded it in when she bought a new car. Maxima had 250k miles on it & was 23 years old so it did bring much. It was a fun car to drive. Had Ram 1500s for the last 7 years including a new I bought last week. Truck is useful, but I miss a car sometimes.I woke up this morning to -1 degree weather. Not exactly what I would call motivating. Twenty years ago, I didn't mind the chill in the air; forty years ago, I would have been looking for the ice skates and asking Mom when she could take me to Howard Park, the local ice rink. I don't think I was ever there when the temperatures were below 20, but I know I was wanting to getting there. This was before I discovered indoor ice and realized the 'hard' natural ice was inferior to the groomed ice that Notre Dame maintained for the practice rink for their hockey team.
But enough about that, leave it to say I'm done with winter already and we have a couple weeks go to before Phil tells us how long winter will last
I've got a problem -- my driveway is starting to look more like a used car lot, and I'm adding yet another vehicle to the fleet. A cargo van that will be wrapped or at least signed out for a business that I am starting. After spending my entire adult career in the Information Technology space and funding myself unemployed, I think it's time to stop dreaming and start doing. The cargo van will let me take my tools and toys and let me use my knowledge of RV systems, working as a mobile RV tech. It will also be a billboard when camping let campers see the business. It just means I'll be camping in the front of the campground now instead of the back, where I usually hide.
I'll be selling two vehicles. Currently, there is a 12 Subaru Outback, a 2004 Ford Ranger (which was actually my dad's truck – story for another time), an '98 Jeep Cherokee, and a Toyota RAV4. I think the Jeep and Outback will probably go. Mrs. S will drive the rav4, and I'll drive my Dad's truck for personal use around town.
I hate selling any of them, they all have their purpose -- but purely from a storage and cash flow perspective...somethings got to give. The Outback is awesome in snow, better than the Jeep, and has been very mechncailly reliable. The Jeep is the most fun vehicle I have to drive. The Rav4 is boring as hell, and the Truck is a little small for my 6ft 3in frame. But I think this is the best choice.
What would you keep?
Always so much to do, and so little time.
Since the Packers are out I’m now rooting for the Lions.

My original plan was to buy a summer home here and then a winter home down south or maybe just take the Class A south and live in an RV park. I still might do that in the years ahead.
