Back home again
Picked up the new (to me) truck around 2:00PM this afternoon and promptly headed south 60 miles to visit Harbor Freight and Homebrew Heaven. Picked up what I wanted, gassed up and headed home.
I will need to run into Bellingham tomorrow to finish some things I didn't get to today -- pick up my Dad's ashes, get a stand for the new credit card reader at the store, check on the price of a LINE-X bed liner. Got a canopy on order so that should be in in a few weeks.
Very happy with the truck -- gas mileage is much better than expected with 8-15 in stop and go traffic and 12-20 on the highway. The canopy will smooth out a lot of turbulence and I should see a little boost on the highway miles. Thirty gallon tank so I am good for five hundred miles per fill -- makes shopping for cheap diesel worth doing. The local Tribal gas station doesn't carry diesel...
Heat up some leftover leftover beef and barley soup -- had pot roast for dinner when we went to the Jonsi concert and I took the scraps from that home and cooked up a nice soup -- and then onto the web.
Very stoked about this coming Thursday -- the T1 is scheduled to be installed and also, Dish Network will be coming out to upgrade our receiver to HD -- I nicked the smaller flatscreen from my Dad's house and put it on the wall here.
Enough rambling -- time for dinner...
