    You guys look great in both pictures. Don’t let anyone take that away from you. You mentioned age. Ironically in today’s world you would have gone to jail and had a criminal record for life. I miss a simpler more understanding time. 

    Thanks and the marriage license were approved at that age. With the parents signatures.. was a simpler and less stressful time indeed. We just knew what we had to do to survive. Work. Back then there were no freebies. And we were better off for it .

    Measuring shows 6-7 here , not 4, still nothing like you guys are contending with. But pretty much shuts this area down with the zero temps headed this way. It’s pretty, but I’m pretty much ready for spring as well. 🌞

    Wow! Nice car Wes. Congratulations and a big welcome to the best car club ever. You and your spouse picked the best car , 1st gen Monte, and the best car club . FGMCC. BTW, I understand you are in London, ky. I’m a little further north of you in Paris ky. Be sure you try and attend one or more of our yearly meets. This year’s Eastern meet is in Carlisle PA. If you have any questions on how to sign up and attend, I’ll be glad to help. Also, next year’s eastern meet will usually be a little more south of PA. Check that out too. My wife and I also go to Somernights cruise in Somerset Ky about twice a year with our 71 Monte.. Believe me, you would have a great time at one of these FGMCC meets.. welcome again!. Ron…

    Congratulations to you both!!!  53 years is quite the accomplishment.  You were (and are) a cute couple.  You look like you were like 16 in the first picture.  I do have a question, How come she aged much better than you.

    rob

    She aged better because she was the 16 year old. Back in the day in the country they were considered an old maid if they didn’t marry before 18.. plus, one less mouth to feed for them , out of 8 kids.. I was around 19 in that picture and undernourished. Boy has that changed!!!

    Today marks our 53 wedding anniversary. On a cold snowy Jan 16th day , I said yes after she asked me to marry her :). Just kidding…  we had 20$ between us but by the grace of God ,  clawed our way thru . She’s been a blessing to me all these years , almost as much as the 71 Monte :).. kidding again. But that is the reason I’m partial to the year 71 Monte. The year we were married.. IMG_6454.thumb.jpeg.4f2dfd4816a7699d8c2095605d5ecf52.jpegIMG_6049.thumb.jpeg.5fcd9976909b73b2bf9712160ab6b212.jpeg

    So, my wife car, a 2016 Buick encore , bought new by her, having had the oil and filter changed religiously by the dealer on time and mileage .

    wants me to change it for her since I have the car lift now. No problem, but I find an oil filter in the engine that I believe there is No Way ! It has been replaced last two or three oil changes by the dealer . Pure black!. Replacement is nice straw broom color. Picture down below of oil filter cartridge I took out. Am I wrong in my assumption ??? Input please. Thanks , Ron… IMG_2282.thumb.jpeg.2ea8727158e88d3cf21d02c7cf95ac75.jpeg
