AM:
2 hour neighborhood walk with my wife!
Today was a normal day. On our walks we ended up going past some of the used car lots but did not see anything worth checking out. Guy never called me about the cheap Xterra. Oh well. We finally did our taxes and are getting some money back. Woohoo. Here is tomorrow being even better than today!
AM:

I tried to walk on the treadmills for 48 minutes this AM but each on the 4 I tried today were not working properly so I went to the elliptical machine after giving up. I struck out with the truck. I was going to go to Woodbridge VA and check out the dealerships there but traffic was at a standstill on the highway so I bailed and drove around locally in frustration before heading home and taking a nap. I heard from the private seller at 6pm that he was not feeling well. He called to say maybe tomorrow. We’ll see.

Tomorrow my wife is working and I am going to be all about the truck finding. If all goes well tomorrow could be the day. I am even willing to consider a manual transmission if the I fit well in the vehicle and the test drive feels good.

PM:

I woke up today and it was 50 degrees out! SO instead of going to the gym I decided to go for a jog! I did ok as this was my 3rd time doing the 3 mile loop.A little more than half was I was day dreaming and in the zone and then I did an impromptu Stop! Drop! and Roll! drill. I tripped on the uneven sidewalk. Funny think was I have tripped here years ago. I hit the ground on the palm of my right hand and rolled through onto my back. I got up and laughed like when I fell in the mud weeks ago. My hand is a little bit sore but I did not bang my knees or hurt anything else so life is good.
AM:

Offsite was OK today. I was able to show the engineer there was no laser coming into our racks so there was no was our equipment was going to be working.
I need to go back tomorrow so I can do a second request there.
This Saturday my wife is working and I will be out truck shopping. This could be the weekend for a truck!

Today was OK. I am a little down about the truck slipping away from my grasp. I think I need to reconsider all options of vehicles, including ones I had ruled out previously, including manual transmissions. It is true I do not enjoy driving manuals in heavy commuter traffic, but this vehicle is not going to be a heavy commuter traffic vehicle. I am not going to go looking for a manual transmission, but I am going to stop excluding them in searches.
I am offsite again tomorrow for a task, plus I need to help an engineer with some issues from the other day’s work. I explained the problems but it appears no one on engineering attempted to correct the issue. I predict a fun day.

After work today I went to hear the news about the truck. The shop found about 2,000 dollars worth of repairs. While typing this I hear back from the owner and he sold it so that takes the thought process out of my hands. If he had not he offered it to me for 3500 but I did not accept on the spot and wanted to talk it over with my wife. So it sold. Oh well the search continues.
AM:
2 mile jog
PM:
20 min neighborhood walk
We went and looked at the Chevy Tahoe today. It is pretty clean and seems decent for the 4500 he is asking. I thought I might have heard a whine in the rear end and told the owner as much. He agreed I can get it checked out by a mechanic and it just so happens my neighbor who is a mechanic works at the garage 2 blocks from the owner’s house. So the owner is going to drop it off tomorrow morning and I will stop through in the afternoon and find out if the truck is OK to buy. Woohoo! I might be one step closer to the my idea for car camping!
We also went and looked at an expensive Xterra at a car lot. I wanted my wife to sit in one so she could see what I meant when I described it as comfortable but less spacious that her Rav4. Now that she sat in it she realizes we “could make it work” but it done not have a lot of space in it for hauling things, compared to the Tahoe.
