I won't say which side I'm on (publicly), but reading the animosity on the forum is discouraging. Particularly from fellow Texans. What happened to the saying on the home page?

Yeah, stay out of there if you want to keep your positive outlook on people and their ability to communicate/reason with each other. I post much less frequently in there and have been much better off for it. Like you I'm centrist and have voted both parties, but don't trust either... though I'd kill to have a majority vote third party at least once in my lifetime...
Personally, I enjoy reading your workings on the "ol' girl." Sometimes you do what you gotta do to keep it on the road. Especially depending on what life stage is currently being enjoyed. Fight the good fight so to speak. My X5 has been leaking for awhile but other projects have taken priority. Homeschooling the kids for 2 years and now paying for their tuitions/uniforms/etc are leaving things tighter than I prefer. Have some home projects to finish, seems like the list never ends. Fighting the insurance company who doesn't want to cover my medical needs, inflation, blah, blah, is what it is.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I look forward to any meet that might develop.
