Hah! Truck fun.

Thanks to spending my annual bonus and double paying for the last year, I'm down to my last monthly car payment.

So naturally, I had to take my truck in front-end work. Well, at least the parts and labor are only another month of payment in equivalent.

And the good news is that now my car doesn't vibrate at high speeds or chew up tires.... which is another needed purchase.

Ah well. It's still worth getting out of that debt.

Rust and Salt

Well my smoker worked fine. Patio is great for it. It's very nice to sit and watch the water as the jerky cures. One thing I wanted was relative peace in a place to live and this complex seems to have it.

And I've started to look into a new Truck. My current one has lasted a good 6-7 and asside from a dust plate on a brake system rusting and a tire with a weird leak, it's strong.

Insert, emphatic knock on wood here.

However, it's gotten to where it's not worth it if there's a major repair.

So that's that. I'll keep my truck going and look around.


An update on my couch. It's very nice to have a couch long enough to sleep on without having to curl up. Very important.
