  • Whew ...... busy day

    Helped my daughter move today then went car shopping and bought a car ....... got a great deal on a 2007 Camry Hybrid with every option ..... leather heated seats, premium sound and navigation .......... traded the SUV .... didn't need a SUV and a truck. With $4-5/gal gas coming I needed something more economical ........ figured I'll save over 2k/yr in gas alone .........

    Now I'm officially a Geezer .......

    Gas will be $5.00 this summer so you will be glad for that hybrid

        I have a F-150 too ........ the SUV got 15 mpg and the PU 13 mpg ....... the Camry Hybrid should get @ 35 MPG so the gas savings should almost make the payments ........ was going to put a bunch down but the credit union gave me 3.25% so it would be stupid not to finance it all .......... payments on both vehicles is less than the SUV and the trailer @ CBBT ...... life is good ...... even with the possible furlough ........

            Not for me ........ I'm planning on it ......... that's why I got the truck and I'm looking for a trailer ........ w/the trailer I can take 4 people and yaks and gear to anywhere with a very comfortable ride ....... w/o the trailer I can take 2 of us .......... planning on learning the CBBT barrier Iskands this year as well as fishing w/you guys ......... want to do some Delaware too ...... gas savings from this car will pay for a bunch of trips especially if a couple of guys go with me and split the gas ........

              let me know when you want to open the trailer and i'll help you, the barrier isles are very flounder friendly.

                          Michael ........ that would be great ......... have to check if the other trailer first and find a place to move my covered trailer while I transfer the former reservoir rig to the new trailer ......... oh .... and how to register a trailer w/o a title ......... but I'm working on it ...... Anybody got room for me to store a 6 x 9 covered trailer for a couple of weeks ........... or a 16 ft bass boat w/25 hp that you can use for free?

                            dont worry too much about a trailer, if you want to go and open your camper for the season let me know i can still lift my yak to the top of my truck

                              Yep ........ will soon .......... fishing begins down there in April ........ got another guy in VB that has a PA too wants to go too ........ Trailer can sleep up to 9 but only 4 comfortable ......... 5 if a cute blonde female wants to share the master bedroom ........

                              REALLY want to move the boat to another trailer, sell it and make the trailer w/the broken axel into a yak trailer ........ but I have to find some place to store a closed trailer until I can transfer the boat to another trailer and sell it and fix the yak trailer.
