Give Carol my best next time you get together.

Picked up Ed's old Escort from Carol. Took the wheel to it and cut the paint twice before a coat of wax. Painted the steelies and polished the chrome rings before installing a "near NOS" set of center caps he had stashed in the rear seat. Other than a little whiskey dent and some garage rash she looks like new. Needs a bit of a tune up, is most happy when warm. AC blows colder than Glenn's heart. Radio leaves a little to be desired. Will get a Retrosound into it eventually so it can be an enjoyable round-towner, but it is a confident little car that feels like it would do fine on a longer trip.
I think this is what Ed would have had planned for it.

Saturday, Dec 2., before we head over to the Home Town Cafe, a few of us are going to meet at Oakwood Cemetery to decorate Ed’s grave for the holidays.
We’ll meet there at 1130, if you’re not sure where to go you can meet me and follow me down.
