how do you keep in touch with extended family?
I don't think I've seen a meetup in the albany area in a while, but I have seen a bunch more lightnings driving around the past couple months.

got a flat tire a few weeks back while driving on an old logging road. Caused me to make a poor financial decision and get a second set of rims/tires. These will be only for off-road and big snow storms. They take about 45 miles of range off if you can believe it!!
