Good morning,
My hat off to you @JimW never managed to squeeze any mote the 240 000 km out of any Nissan we ever had, or anything else for that matter.
Last night listened to an owl announcing itself somewhere uncomfortably too close, so we are back on high alert for change.
Looks like a lovely day for alfresco lunch, off to build some hoagies.
Have a sunny one!

I now drive a 2010 Hyundai Elantra and it has 244k and i’ll drive it another year at least.

Met Kathy & Martin in the parking lot at Timmies to deal "the stuff", thanks for doing the transport. I did as Jan suggested and told #62 that she is on probation at her new home!

Well the suv will be going bye bye next week. I bought a 2013 Grand Caravan yesterday should be ready for pick up in a few days. I would have liked a new suv or a pickup truck but just not in the budget and with driving close to 60k a year my vehicles depreciate too quick to spend money on higher priced vehicle.

A huge thank you to all involved. #62 is home safe and sound.

ah and we are home safe and sound too....toronto traffic sucks. 2.5 hours longer than anticipated because of toronto stop and go. sigh. got home about 645 tonight....
jenny (62) was fun. extremely quiet until she looked at the dog and then it was the warning bok bok bok bok bok bok bok bok lol. martin figured out the friendly purr sound that calmed her down until she turned around again. great to see everyone on the trip-kb, jaye, tomk, www, goatgal35 and flat rock farm!!
always good to be home again too. chores are done everyone is settled....2 turkeys are spending the night on top of the coop. i will round them up tomorrow. hatching in a couple of days too-got them into the hatcher as soon as we got home.
everyone seems to be happy we are home-especially the cats lol

Glad you and Martin made it home safe and sound. Glad to hear that you came home to nothing amiss and everyone healthy too. I hear you on Toronto traffic. To be honest, I think we'd visit family in London a lot more often if it weren't for having to deal with the the drive through that stretch.
Thanks again to you both, and to FRF for the Brabanter eggs! WWW will hopefully have some good news on their progress for us soon. :pop:
