A great video that shows what proper care and proper maintenance does for the lifespan of the Spyder. I know pricing is an issue with many owners as it can vary greatly, so this helps give us a good reference point. Cheers PO3!
Thank you, Richard! And yes, you are absolutely correct on the pricing differences...I believe we have Spyder Wayne talked into switching to our dealer for service...it's well worth the drive, especially when you plan a little adventure around the trip there! 🤗💜
I just told my husband that we will be getting all of our services done in PA.. our area pays $120 an hour shop rate. Great video, and I'm so glad to see you doing so well ❤
I have been doing the maintenance on pops RT and man the F3 is so much easier. I just did Tammie's first service on her Spyder. We have done it by the book our Spyder dealers never recommended otherwise but that doesn't surprise me. 😂 either.
First another really great video. And as you know, I previously owned a Harley Davidson electric glide before converting over to my F3 limited like yours. I can tell you that the maintenance cost on a Harley Davidson for regular maintenance is a lot higher than is on a Spyder. The maintenance intervals on a Harley Davidson are more often than that of a Spyder. I currently have 17,000 miles plus on my 2022 F3 after less than two years of ownership. It has been a very trouble Free machine and I was lucky enough that my dealership that I bought it from those free oil changes for life. I know that is not always the norm. But I am definitely not complaining. I have a great dealership. Your cost of ownership over the years of owning your Spyder are not bad. My only complaint thus far after two years of Spyder ownership is that my battery crapped out at 13 months. I thought I had a more serious problem and got a diagnostic done on it, but it was just the battery. Now I ride my Spyder a lot and keep it on a tender when not riding it. It just seems that the stock batteries occasionally have a bad batch after 2020 even the dealership acknowledge this because they don’t use the stock batteries as replacements. They use a different brand with a longer warranty. But other than that, I’ve been very happy. Comparison Harley versus Spyder my tires lasted longer on my Harley than they do on the Spyder. Thank you again for posting a really great video. Always informative and helpful. You and Tommy G ride safe.
Thanks so much, Dan!! We are so happy you have a wonderful dealership where you live! Wish every Can-Am owner did!! I think you had one of "those" batteries during those years when parts were hard to come by. I can tell the difference between the batter in my 2018 and the batter in my 2023...I'll definitely be replacing the battery in the 2023 with a BETTER one than what it came with. Have always kept my Spyder on a tender and had zero issues with that battery. Yes, agree on the tires, but my front tires last a lot longer than the HD front tire...again, not apples to apples though. Take care and be safe out there! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Thank you, Nick! It's because I don't have to do that 4 letter word anymore, lol...It sure was a fun year for sure!! Hope you are doing well! Have you recovered from VAMM? 💜🤗🙏🏼
Good video Purple thanks for sharing that Spyder still looks like new goes to show when you take care of things you guys have a great week and ride safe
What a great video! It is great that you kept such detailed records of all of your work. I paid more for 3 tires and an oil/ air change than you paid for ALL of your pre and post Alaska work. Thank you for another entertaining and informative video. Great to hear from you again!
Thank you, Stan! TommyG has a folder for each of our bikes and we are good at putting all the receipts in there...now ask me about farm receipts and it's a different story, lol. That sounds CRAZY regarding what you are paying for service!! How did you make out with BRP and that other issue? If it's been resolved, would love to hear what happened, if you don't mind sending me an e-mail. Take care and stay safe! 🙏🏼💜🤗
Thank you for the breakdown and costs! You have treated that Spyder well!! Before I bought mine I looked at the costs of it compared to other motorcycles and noticed it was about the same on most things but better on the long term costs.
Thanks Jody. Your costs and Tommy Zg seem normal to me. Tires,brakes, and oil changes are normal expenses and the more you ride the more you have to spend. Was it hard for To my G to give up his Harley y? I bet so. God Bless you both and stay well. Spyder repairs don’t compare to people repairs.
Hello, Ray! Thanks for your comment...Well, Mr. Tommy has not actually given up his HD...he's still riding it but is hoping to sell it! Hope you are doing well and I hopw our wheels cross paths! You are so right!! Guess what? Had a brain MRI today and it was "unremarkable" so I think that is one step closer to total healing. God bless, my friend!🤗🙏🏼💜
Artie! I'm so glad to hear this! I think it's so cool your pupper likes to go with you gusy! Appreciate you! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼💜🤗God bless and stay safe!
Yes, for sure, Craig! And I am ever so grateful we didn't have any mechanical issues or flat tires while we were there! Glad you made it home safely from VAMM! 🤗💜🙏🏼
Thank you so much!! When you calculate smiles per gallon, I think it has been a wonderful deal! Hope you have had a great weekend! We just got back from a lovely 130 miles of riding! 💜🙏🏼🤗
Outstanding long-term review. This video is going to help many future Spyder owners for many years to come. It would be interesting to know if you have ridden the Spyder more miles and anyone in the US? 🤔🙌👌
Thanks, Eric! Hopefully this helps others! No, there are others with more miles than I have...they just don't have TH-cam channels to brag about it, lol! 💜🥳🎉🤗😁
CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳💜💜💜🤗🤗🤗So happy for you! Hope you get those watch hours...I'll head over tonight or tomorrow and watch your new video! When I became monetized, I had it the other way around...way more watch hours than subs...go figure! You'll get there!!
Jessica, thank you! I hope you find what you are looking for! Good deals are out there...sometimes we just need to be patient! We buy used 90 percent of the time...how are you feeling these days?
Considering the mileage (almost 80,000 miles) the maintenance costs aren’t that bad Jody. I am sure you will miss the blue mule but the memories will last forever. Take care my friend
Eddie! Thank you! Did you go AWOL again on IG? I was trying to message you...Yes, she's got some miles on her for sure but I totally agree with you about the costs...reasonable for all those miles! 💜🤗
Very nice. I'm sure i spend way to much. Don't really keep track of anything. We change the oils twice a season. Fix what breaks. Keep bike's in top shape
Well, we save in other ways so we can take care of our toys, I guess! One riding season, 2022, I ended up changing the oil 4 times because we rode 26,000 miles that year. How is your summer going, Ray? Hoping we will be back up your way later this summer! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Thanks for this info. I’m new to Spyder and have had some concerns about how fussy it is to keep running properly. You seem to have it down pat. Of the 15 or so motorcycles I’ve had in my lifetime, the Harley was the most expensive to maintain and repair.
Hello, Michele! Well, that does not surprise me about the HD...how cool that you've owned that many bikes!! 🎉🎉🎉I've had five counting my two Spyders. My motto is, treat her good or him lol and he or she will treat you good! My Spyder girl NEVER used any oil between changes, unlike the HD...if you are in the market for a pretty blue HD, I know a guy who has one for sale, lol...😁💜
Well, I have learned the oil change isn't hard at all...getting ready for my new Spyder's 2nd oil change..dealer did the first one...I've never done brake pads. And to be honest, before owning a Spyder, I didn't care to do any maintenance on the car...still don't, lol, but I'm happy to learn so many things about my Spyder! 🤗💜
Jody, when i grow up, i want to be a mile cruncher, just you and Tommy. I've only got 12,771 miles on "Miss Charlotte ". She a '21 F3L. Max and i have to tighten up. 😂
Aww, shucks, Sam! Thank you, but gosh...you are still doing that 4 letter word...that has made a huge difference in how many miles I can ride in a year. You and Max are doing a fine job!! And how many miles do you drive in a day in your truck? I bet that's huge!! 🤗💜🙏🏼
Cheaper than a Harley for maintenance? No wonder TommyG wants to ride the Spyder more :D Great review of it - cheaper maintenance is always a selling point!
Thank you! What is your 1st name please? If you told me, I have forgotten...I always claim TBI when I forget something...I'll use the excuse forever!! Hope you are doing well! 💜🤗
The Spyder looks very well for having 79.000 miles. I completely understand Tommy, even if he paid quite a lot more than you for his HD, I think he still loves his HD. :) A very nice cost breakdown video. Cheers.
Thanks so much, Peggy! Hope you are having a great summer! As usual, I'm struggling with riding and making content, much less watching my friends' content. Hope you are having a good summer riding and I'll get caught up eventually! Take care and ride safe, my friend! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Thank you so much! Well, you are still working and I gave up that 4 letter word at the end of 2021. We live in a beautiful country and I have loved seeing it! I want to head back out your way again next year...well, maybe even later this year lol...we shall see! 🤗💜🙏🏼
This is a great video, Packed with valuable information. Will Tommy be replacing the HD or just sticking with the Spyder? Wishing you both the very best!
Hey there, John! Hope you have had a great weekend!! Thank you so much...I use your term "evergreen" and told TommyG where I came up with that one...you!! Because I shared that with him, I had the STRANGEST dream the other night...you came down over an embankment onto the roadway on your riding lawnmower...did I mention, the cow behind you came off first? lol...and you and the lawnmower were covered in pink flowers...but you were fine and that's all that mattered...bah hah hah hah! 🤣🤣🤣
@@PurpleOnThree Yes I do. I am riding it on a 4,000 mile trip soon and was concerned about the reliability. After watching a number of your videos I feel much more confident that all will go well with the Spyder.👍
@rms--ryder71 that's awesome!! I hope you have a wonderful trip! Maybe don't watch my video that's coming out tomorrow 😅... You'll be fine!! 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜 Let me know if you're headed our way... Western PA...😁😁😁
@@PurpleOnThree I checked and I couldn't find your video you were telling me about. Were you just joking? Anyway, I am riding from Tucson to Duluth, MN. I love the lakes and the abundance of water in MN. Here in Tucson and throughout the southwest it is very dry. I wish I was going to be near Western PA it would be nice to meet you and Tommy G. Take care and thanks again for your very helpful videos.
@@rms--ryder71 my video will be available at 5 pm Eastern today... No, I wasn't joking...I am excited for you for your trip! My video is about a suspension issue I had .. But it's fixed now! 😅🤗💜
Totally amazing, just like you Jody🙂 I think the Spyders are pretty good machines if you maintain them. So, Tommy G selling the Harley....does that mean a new one is in the works? or....going to keep riding his gift? Take care!
Awh, Ron, you are the sweetest! Are you guys on your trip? I agree with you on the maintenance. In response to your question, there will be a different two wheeler in the stable...just not sure what exactly yet! 🤗💜🙏🏼
@@PurpleOnThree we don't leave until the 4th of August for this next trip. To tell you the truth, we're itchin to go... We love travel and meeting new people.
less than 600$ in repairs in this mileage is nothing, it shows how important a maintenance is. I´m a little bit jealous about the shape your F3 is after this long distance 😄 So TommyG will keep the F3 or will he buy a own one ? best regards from North-Germany 😎
Well, maybe your riding conditions are a bit rougher? (except for Alaska and the Yukon...never have seen roads like those...even the potholed filled, half gravel one we live on lol)...so, we are heading your way in 2025!! Hopefully! Would love to meet up with you!! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Very thankful for this. Great looking for the milage you put on it. Do you think it will work double or tripple that milage? What is the warranty in the US? In Sweden we get only 2 years on the Spyder but absolute unlimited milage within those 2 years, only, you have to have a dealer do the oil changes to keep the warranty. Cheers from Sweden
Thank you, Swede! I'm going to say at least double... I don't know what the highest mileage spyder is out there, But I don't think they have a TH-cam channel lol. The warranty is 2 years... I will have to double check on the oil change business. I really don't feel like driving 250 miles one way to get an oil change when I can do it myself...😁😁😁
Great video. I'm waiting to arrive my new '23 F3 Limited inntge same blue as your. What brand is the action camera set up you use. I see the name bickrak but I couldn't google anything on it. Your bike is awesome
Oh, Felix, @felixperez5932 I'm sorry that I didn't answer...RickRak is the brand clamp I use and the camera is a GoPro7...sorry for the delay in responding! And thank you kindly! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗🤗💜💜
@@wendy8739 that is a wonderful idea! I wished I knew how to do it lol. A friend made all my intros and outros for me... He's pretty busy now so I may have to try to figure this out myself. 😅😅😅
I’m a bit, no a lot disappointed with this video. You both go to Hawaii and there are no bikini shots? What’s the deal. There is a certain group of people that would love to see TommyG in a bikini getting his ran on Then onto Alaska and no one is bareback riding a Moose. What gives????? There was a time not that long ago that it would have been included. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I Interesting that the HD maintenance cost was higher than the SpYder. Good stuff as usual. 😊
Moose, I'm so very sorry!! Tommy was feeling a bit shy and didn't want me taking any pics of him with his Speedo bikini...😂😂😂Well, Tommy almost hit a moose in Canada...I don't think that was Alaska...does that count? lol HD equals Hundred Dollars or maybe it's lots of hundreds of dollars...can't remember exactly. Are you thinking of getting one? I know where there is a pretty blue one for sale! 😁😁😁
Thank you so much! We were glad that we could finish #50...after last year's medical fiasco, didn't know what was in store! Feeling very thankful and grateful! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Yikes, Jim! So sorry to hear that! Tommy has trouble with his phone overheating down in Virginia...we rode home Tuesday in temps from 100-106 degrees...we stood in 3 different beer caves at Sheetz to cool down, lol
@@johnalvis9086 Not sure I know what a maintenance meter is 🤷♀️... But how I keep track is the trip settings... There are three... First one, A, I use for my current trip and the second one, B, is the one I use to determine mileage between oil changes. And then the third one of course is my total miles of riding since day one. Does that make sense? Hope that helps.🤗💜🙏
Well, see, there is this folder in our filing cabinet...all those kinds of receipts go into that folder...now if you were to ask me about farm receipts, well, um, that is another story lol 😄😄😄
I have 9500 miles on my new Spyder F3 2022 model should I change the tires of 10,000 miles or just wait till I think they need it and how often do you change your tires and do you change them or you bring them to the dealer
Hello, there, Mr. Bobby! I see you changed your YT name on here. 🤗😁Nice to hear from you! I would recommend taking your Spyder to your dealer to have them check the tread depth and tread wear to see if they need changed now. Mileage on tires depends upon how you ride, where you ride, weight of rider and passenger. How often do I change my tires? Well, that depends...my front tires last close to 30,000 miles and the rear has gone from 11,000 to 14,000. I have purchased tires online and also purchased them from the dealer, but my dealer has always installed my tires whether I purchase them online or from the dealer. Hope this information helps! Here in PA, our vehicles are inspected and 2/32 is the legal limit but we have changed tires on all our vehicles when the depth gets down to 4/32. Hope this information is helpful to you! Have a blessed day! 🤗💜🙏🏼
Thank you! We try to take as good of care of our rides as we can! We had to hose them off a few times on the Alaska trip...talk about mud and filth, lol
Looking like another great video! Great info. And you guys really put the miles on! I can't wait to retire and have more time to do the same. Have fun and continue to ride safe!
Thank you so much! Last year was certainly a tough year, but still blessed to have been able to ride to Alaska. And I'm even more thankful to have healed...it's been slow but it's all in God's time, not mine! Take care and be safe! 🤗🙏🏼💜
A great video that shows what proper care and proper maintenance does for the lifespan of the Spyder. I know pricing is an issue with many owners as it can vary greatly, so this helps give us a good reference point. Cheers PO3!
Thank you, Richard! And yes, you are absolutely correct on the pricing differences...I believe we have Spyder Wayne talked into switching to our dealer for service...it's well worth the drive, especially when you plan a little adventure around the trip there! 🤗💜
Seventy thousand miles is quite an accomplishment, well done!
Thanks so much, Paul! 💜🤗🙏🏼
I just told my husband that we will be getting all of our services done in PA.. our area pays $120 an hour shop rate. Great video, and I'm so glad to see you doing so well ❤
@@jameroser-zi5dg thank you, Jame! 🙏💜🤗 Can't go wrong with Motorsports of Hanover! I believe their rate is $100 per hour and Ryan is very fair...
wow 75,000 miles under your belt. congrats and looking forward to your 100,000 miles, cheers
Well, not exactly, Dave...you'll have to wait and see I guess!
I have been doing the maintenance on pops RT and man the F3 is so much easier. I just did Tammie's first service on her Spyder. We have done it by the book our Spyder dealers never recommended otherwise but that doesn't surprise me. 😂 either.
Can I bring my Spyder to you guys for an oil change and make over ??
@@PSPTommyG that would be a bit of a trip for a service.

Thank you so much! Well, you are still working and I gave up that 4 letter word at the end of 2021. We live in a beautiful country and I have loved seeing it! I want to head back out your way again next year...well, maybe even later this year lol...we shall see! 🤗💜🙏🏼
This is a great video,
Packed with valuable information.
Will Tommy be replacing the HD or just sticking with the Spyder?
Wishing you both the very best!
Hey there, John! Hope you have had a great weekend!! Thank you so much...I use your term "evergreen" and told TommyG where I came up with that one...you!! Because I shared that with him, I had the STRANGEST dream the other night...you came down over an embankment onto the roadway on your riding lawnmower...did I mention, the cow behind you came off first? lol...and you and the lawnmower were covered in pink flowers...but you were fine and that's all that mattered...bah hah hah hah! 🤣🤣🤣
Wonderful video and very informative. Thank you
Thank you so very much! 💜🤗🙏 Do you have a Spyder?
@@PurpleOnThree Yes I do. I am riding it on a 4,000 mile trip soon and was concerned about the reliability. After watching a number of your videos I feel much more confident that all will go well with the Spyder.👍
@rms--ryder71 that's awesome!! I hope you have a wonderful trip! Maybe don't watch my video that's coming out tomorrow 😅... You'll be fine!! 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜 Let me know if you're headed our way... Western PA...😁😁😁
@@PurpleOnThree I checked and I couldn't find your video you were telling me about. Were you just joking? Anyway, I am riding from Tucson to Duluth, MN. I love the lakes and the abundance of water in MN. Here in Tucson and throughout the southwest it is very dry. I wish I was going to be near Western PA it would be nice to meet you and Tommy G. Take care and thanks again for your very helpful videos.
@@rms--ryder71 my video will be available at 5 pm Eastern today... No, I wasn't joking...I am excited for you for your trip! My video is about a suspension issue I had .. But it's fixed now! 😅🤗💜
Totally amazing, just like you Jody🙂 I think the Spyders are pretty good machines if you maintain them. So, Tommy G selling the Harley....does that mean a new one is in the works? or....going to keep riding his gift? Take care!
Awh, Ron, you are the sweetest! Are you guys on your trip? I agree with you on the maintenance. In response to your question, there will be a different two wheeler in the stable...just not sure what exactly yet! 🤗💜🙏🏼
@@PurpleOnThree we don't leave until the 4th of August for this next trip. To tell you the truth, we're itchin to go... We love travel and meeting new people.
Hey Jody. Great video
Thank you, Larry! 💜🤗🙏🏼🎉
Thanks for sharing good information ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Beth! 🤗💜
You guys are awesome.
Thank you, David, but we are just usins lol😂
@@PurpleOnThree "Usins" never heard that one before. Hahahaha
@TennRides gotta live in Pennsyltucky 😁 to know that one lol
less than 600$ in repairs in this mileage is nothing, it shows how important a maintenance is. I´m a little bit jealous about the shape your F3 is after this long distance 😄 So TommyG will keep the F3 or will he buy a own one ? best regards from North-Germany 😎
Well, maybe your riding conditions are a bit rougher? (except for Alaska and the Yukon...never have seen roads like those...even the potholed filled, half gravel one we live on lol)...so, we are heading your way in 2025!! Hopefully! Would love to meet up with you!! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Very thankful for this. Great looking for the milage you put on it. Do you think it will work double or tripple that milage?
What is the warranty in the US? In Sweden we get only 2 years on the Spyder but absolute unlimited milage within those 2 years, only, you have to have a dealer do the oil changes to keep the warranty.
Cheers from Sweden
Thank you, Swede! I'm going to say at least double... I don't know what the highest mileage spyder is out there, But I don't think they have a TH-cam channel lol. The warranty is 2 years... I will have to double check on the oil change business. I really don't feel like driving 250 miles one way to get an oil change when I can do it myself...😁😁😁
Love the videos, I would love to travel like yhat once i retire.
Thank you! 💜🙏🤗 I bet you will do just that! 🙌👏🥳
Great video. I'm waiting to arrive my new '23 F3 Limited inntge same blue as your. What brand is the action camera set up you use. I see the name bickrak but I couldn't google anything on it. Your bike is awesome
Oh, Felix, @felixperez5932 I'm sorry that I didn't answer...RickRak is the brand clamp I use and the camera is a GoPro7...sorry for the delay in responding! And thank you kindly! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗🤗💜💜
Time to put you new baby’s picture in the intro.
@@wendy8739 that is a wonderful idea! I wished I knew how to do it lol. A friend made all my intros and outros for me... He's pretty busy now so I may have to try to figure this out myself. 😅😅😅
I’m a bit, no a lot disappointed with this video. You both go to Hawaii and there are no bikini shots? What’s the deal. There is a certain group of people that would love to see TommyG in a bikini getting his ran on
Then onto Alaska and no one is bareback riding a Moose. What gives?????
There was a time not that long ago that it would have been included. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I
Interesting that the HD maintenance cost was higher than the SpYder. Good stuff as usual. 😊
Moose, I'm so very sorry!! Tommy was feeling a bit shy and didn't want me taking any pics of him with his Speedo bikini...😂😂😂Well, Tommy almost hit a moose in Canada...I don't think that was Alaska...does that count? lol HD equals Hundred Dollars or maybe it's lots of hundreds of dollars...can't remember exactly. Are you thinking of getting one? I know where there is a pretty blue one for sale! 😁😁😁
49 states.... hats off to you both 😁
Thank you so much! We were glad that we could finish #50...after last year's medical fiasco, didn't know what was in store! Feeling very thankful and grateful! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Def look in great shape 6:42
Thanks! We live on a pot hole filled half gravel road, so our car is always dirty, but we try to take good care of our bikes, lol! 🤗💜😁
its been so hot here mt bike and phone over heats
Yikes, Jim! So sorry to hear that! Tommy has trouble with his phone overheating down in Virginia...we rode home Tuesday in temps from 100-106 degrees...we stood in 3 different beer caves at Sheetz to cool down, lol
Purple, how do you reset the maintenance meter on the oil change?
@@johnalvis9086 Not sure I know what a maintenance meter is 🤷♀️... But how I keep track is the trip settings... There are three... First one, A, I use for my current trip and the second one, B, is the one I use to determine mileage between oil changes. And then the third one of course is my total miles of riding since day one. Does that make sense? Hope that helps.🤗💜🙏
Blessings thanks
Thank you! Do you have a Spyder? Appreciate you stopping by the channel! 💜🤗🙏 Have a blessed day!
I wish i was as calculated with my expenses as you are 5:44
Well, see, there is this folder in our filing cabinet...all those kinds of receipts go into that folder...now if you were to ask me about farm receipts, well, um, that is another story lol 😄😄😄
😎👍👍
💜🤗
I have 9500 miles on my new Spyder F3 2022 model should I change the tires of 10,000 miles or just wait till I think they need it and how often do you change your tires and do you change them or you bring them to the dealer
Hello, there, Mr. Bobby! I see you changed your YT name on here. 🤗😁Nice to hear from you! I would recommend taking your Spyder to your dealer to have them check the tread depth and tread wear to see if they need changed now. Mileage on tires depends upon how you ride, where you ride, weight of rider and passenger. How often do I change my tires? Well, that depends...my front tires last close to 30,000 miles and the rear has gone from 11,000 to 14,000. I have purchased tires online and also purchased them from the dealer, but my dealer has always installed my tires whether I purchase them online or from the dealer. Hope this information helps! Here in PA, our vehicles are inspected and 2/32 is the legal limit but we have changed tires on all our vehicles when the depth gets down to 4/32. Hope this information is helpful to you! Have a blessed day! 🤗💜🙏🏼
Wow I road 200 miles 😊
Your spider doesn’t look like you have that many miles on it. That’s amazing
Thank you! We try to take as good of care of our rides as we can! We had to hose them off a few times on the Alaska trip...talk about mud and filth, lol
Doesn't matter how far...still the same wind and still the same smiles per gallon! 🤗🤗🤗
First
Woo hoo! Looks like we have two first place winners!! Winner, winner, chicken🥳🎉 dinner!
Looking like another great video! Great info. And you guys really put the miles on! I can't wait to retire and have more time to do the same. Have fun and continue to ride safe!
Thank you so much! Last year was certainly a tough year, but still blessed to have been able to ride to Alaska. And I'm even more thankful to have healed...it's been slow but it's all in God's time, not mine! Take care and be safe! 🤗🙏🏼💜
