Priorities
The end of this week my wife and I are moving from Colorado to Bend Or. My wife asked me what I would miss the most after 62 years in Colorado.
Without a thought "Being able to drive down to Bert's for parts!"

Re: Priorities
After 62 years in Colorado it would be hard to move. Seems like CO would be much drier and better for the cars, plus being close to Bert's as you mentioned. So, why move now?

Tom, maybe he's getting brain fade from second-hand smoke from all the fruits and nuts turned loose in Colorado!

Tom, Bend is high desert country. Pretty dry, lots of snow and cold in the winter. Beautiful country, and a strong Model A community. Plus one of the best engine rebuilders around: Bill Barlow, former tech director for MAFCA.
