A very merry Christmas.

Came back and the car started right up after sitting for 7-8 months. Had a little air bubble get into the front driver tire sidewall it was about 1/3 of the diameter. I found the best deal at SAMs online $116 each after taxes. They were Goodyear Fierce, directional Z-rated tires my old ones were H rated Nanking's they were @ $88plus shipping $45. From either tirerack.com or discounttire.com

I have a friend Shawn Walker who has a family business TOTALLY TIRES in Naples.
They are fast, didn't have to wait in a long line like SAMs or Walmart and had him remove the tires from the rim. (shopping local for service is also important as is price.) The last time I had local tire work was @ 951 house of flats. My experience there resulted in a damaged aluminum rim. The owner denied it at first and eventually agreed to provide me a set of 4 tire mounts and balance for my next visit. That was my last visit there. I'm going to take some before pictures and after.

Look at me I finally got to Ave Maria town

Jazz band and Christmas celebration. Thanks to Mary and Barry for dragging me out to see all the fun and celebration Ave Maria, Florida is a planned college town currently under development in Collier County, near Immokalee and Naples. It is an unincorporated community, founded in 2005 by a partnership consisting of the Barron Collier Cos., a large diversified private company, and the Ave Maria Foundation led by controversial Catholic philanthropist and activist Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza and the Chancellor of Ave Maria University. This place is very tiny today the center is a church and a circular community with housing above the small shops at this time they have a mini publix grocery store a pub and a huge parking lot. It took me a long time to see this place. I still think why? And really appreciate where I live.
