Taking the tree down and all the decorations always makes the house feel empty. We leave the decorations up till mid January but it still feels empty after they are put away. We put the tree up on November 17th every year. It's a tradition and it's nice having a decorated Christmas tree up for Thanksgiving.
My wife and I watched Smokey and the Bandit on Saturday and watched The Cannonball Run yesterday. These are 2 of my favorite movies. Burt Reynolds made the best movies. He'll be missed.
Thanks for all this great information about the plates. It's amazing how good a mat-board plate looks on a back ground car.
A couple of years ago I tried joining the CGLFC but they weren't taking any new registrations. There was some good information there. I think Facebook has taken people away from regular forums. Facebook is good for immediacy but I like a standard forum like this one. You can start a thread and they are easy to navigate and find stuff. With Facebook the threads or rather posts just keep getting buried. You post something and then have to start a new post on the same topic to show an update. A lot of people like the immediacy of Facebook. I'm on Facebook but don't post much. There is too much going on on that site.
