Big news today!

Our neighbor, Earl, has an old pick up he is selling, and..............Chelsea is buying it! With her own money!

It's a 1989 Jeep Comanche 4 X 4 pickup. Earl has owned it since it was new, it only has 132,000 miles on it and he has kept it in really good condition. I've actually driven it many times since I need something to haul stuff in.

He doesn't need it any more because he has a new pick up. So he's selling it to Chelsea for $500. The book value on it is almost $1000 so she is getting a good deal. And now I'll have a pickup to haul stuff in!

Chelsea gets her learners permit in about 5 months, so she'll learn to drive in this Jeep rather than in my new car! She is really excited about being a car owner, and I'm excited because she is using her own money, well, mostly.

I am going to pay $100 of it so that I can use it whenever I need to for hauling stuff. I might even drive it to do errands and keep the mileage off my new car. Plus I am paying for insurance. Fortunately I don't have to put her on the insurance until after she actually gets her license which is almost 1 1/2 years away.

In other news, I went running today, however I had to quit because my left knee was bothering me. When I go tomorrow I'll wear my knee strap. That's always worked in the past. I'll just have a funny tan on my leg!

Today is window cleaning day. The outside is done and now I need to do the inside. I really need new windows because condensation has been forming for years between the panes and there are hard water deposits in between the glass and no way to clean it. But that is on hold for now until I get some extra $$.

Chelsea has her first guitar lesson today and she's really excited! Well, enough procrastinating, I need to get back to those windows.
