The Toyota pickup I bought several years ago finally required repairs that would cost more than the truck is worth, by a not insubstantial amount. Last week Dawg spotted a likely replacement, a Ford Ranger, and PopPop negotiated a cash/trade-in deal. He is now the proud owner of a new used pickup! It seems like it was a good deal to me, the tires look very good and there is a cab cover on the back, which will prove its worth to PopPop come winter or in case of a sudden downpour. And the color is so lovely...Actually, we're hoping for a sudden downpour, along with however much lightening is necessary to clear the humidity. 95F and high humidity = YUUCK. No rain forecast until tomorrow afternoon or evening.
Last weekend the washing machine decided it no longer wanted to go through a spin cycle, so it too needed replacing. I found a good deal at a local store and PopPop and Dawg went and picked it up in the new used pickup truck. It was a pretty good day for spending around here!
