Actually, I replaced those about 20K ago. The one ahead of the cat died on one of my trips to Kaleefoornya, and I replaced both when I got back.

The total for the season was 115 inches! Our plan is to attend Beaver's Bend gathering this April for our semi annual trip down South. Looking forward to seeing our Southern friends!
