Back in the Saddle Again...
So, okay. New blog site. New truck. Same me.
Starting a new site, starting fresh, and moving on.
Last Friday, on my way to work, my car started acting funny. No real surprise, actually. It's been on its last legs for awhile. Got to work, was in front of the building, actually, and it died. Thought it was the battery. That night, after work, it started, but died 2 blocks later. It was the alternator. So, I already had a car loan, I'd just been putting off getting said new vehicle. Saturday, I summoned my courage, borrowed my grandmother's car, and off I went to the dealership. Yesterday, after trials and tribulations at the dealership, I have my new vehicle. First new car I've ever had. This is not a new-to-me car; this is a brand-new, only had 11 miles on it when I bought it, trucker. 2005 Ford Ranger XL. Not much in the way of special features. No A/C, no CD player. But, it's mine. Well, mine and the bank's. It's under warrenty. And it's not in danger of breaking down anytime in the near future. Pictures will be available.
So, that's the latest and greatest in my life. Just thought I'd share.
And then there's the cool rainbow I saw on my way home. I took this at the light, waiting to turn.

Nice truck, but no A/C how can you survive? Does it just not get above 70 in the Mts.?
I agree with eero, nice truck. Dad
Great looking truck and nice anonymous post by your Dad (G)! HUGS - Terror
Eero, yeah, it gets hot, but it wasn't an option with the place I was looking, and the one place I found a truck with a/c, CD player and cruise, I would have ended up with at least a 16% interest rate, as a brand-new car buyer. So, I settled for the 8% interest rate, as a first-time car buyer.
