Happy New Year to all our 2008 SE Rally friends.
This greeting is late because of all the Christmas - New Years - family visits, cleaning, decorating, shopping, returning, celebrating, enjoying, and related activities we've been engaged in since before Thanksgiving. Also, because the longer I'm retired and the less I have to do the more behinder I get.
Really wanted to let all of you who sympathized and empathized with Mary Ann about her shoulder injury from the hiking fall in Yellowstone (June, but she was still in rehab at Rally time) and her hip injury from the fall from the ladder as she was helping clean the coach for the trip to the SE Rally, that she is fully recovered from both and we're both doing well. The interesting thing, to us, was that the right hip pain that was causing the limp at the Rally eventually turned into a left hip pain/limp, then, after some therapy, went away.
As to our travels, our longest coach trip has been from Pittsboro, NC, the moho's winter home, to Siler City, NC, about 30 miles west on RT 64, and return, for the monthly "exercise the coach" trip. As usually, we ran the generator with the heat pumps on for a load but this time we had to run the dash air conditioning to keep the driver and Navigator from over heating......probably was a good idea to exercise the AC anyway.
I've been keeping up with you all by lurking the site. As soon as I send this, I'm headed to the other end of the house to get on Mary Ann's PC and set up an account on the Forum for her to use. Hopefully she'll become a more active visitor.
We're currently planning to just hang around here (Cary, NC) until about April, then hit the road again -- so far, destination unknown.
If there is a more correct place to post a communication like this, or a better way to communicate with a specific group of Forum members, please let me know.
Until we meet again, all good things to you.
