News from Loveland

Well, I have a category for Colorado.  I’m in Colorado.  I guess I should write something.  Maybe I’ll make a category for Floriday and Tennessee.  Get the Pope to write something…

Not much goings on. At least I got my taxes taken care of very early this year, and already have the returns in.  Paying off the lasik eye surgery I had in 2006.  No sense leaving it out there, even though it’s 0% until August this year.

I went and looked at getting a newer vehicle…a 2003 Dodge Durango which would replace my 1997 Dodge Dakota.  360, AWD, Leather, 3 row seating.  The space in the back seats just isn’t enough.  I would have expected more room, so, the Durango is out of the picture for now.  Maybe they’ll do a new design in a year or two that I like again.  The 04-current generation of Dodge’s just don’t look as good as the 97-03 model years to me.  Ohwell….saved $14,000 🙂

I’m still looking for other 1990-93 Honda Accords to “flip”.  Buy them broken and inexpensive, spend a few weekends on them, make them run and freshen up the engine/trannie and sell them.  They have great resale value when running well.  And, it’s a nice hobby.  Learn a lot about general car care and maintenance.

It’s a nice 3 day weekend..I think I’ll take a hint from the dogs and go nap now 🙂
