Blue I am really impressed with the Monroe's so far , Now about 600 on them..Will see how they hold up !
I am shocked how good the prices are on Rock Auto with discount ! I will price check them for my next items :)
Will see if the Monroe haters are right lol.. If they are right I am only out a couple hundred buck s :O So will see :)

I lived one winter on Deer Isle, a bit south of you. My Mom rented an apartment over the funeral home in Stonington. The location was weird, the winter was way beyond terrible. It never got below zero, but the chill factors were insane. You try 8*F with a 40 mph wind right off the ocean... I was 15 then. 40 years later, I can still feel it. I miss Maine, though. Mother Nature is closer to earth there. My mother is now in Brunswick, but we both know that's not the whole experience there...

But, I have to say, Nova Scotia looks like just amazing Salmon country. You have it closer to you, too, in Maine. If you love Maine, you would love Nova Scotia - at least in summer. I heard the winters are brutal. Oh well. I could go for the tradeoff, but I would be solo... LOL
I never curse the weather. Only the drivers who act like they have never seen it...
