Proper maintenance matters more than the mileage on a pre owned vehicle. I'd much rather have a well maintained 12 yr old with 184k than say a 6 yr old 80k that only had 3-4 oil changes in it's life.

As the old saying goes, I out of the house and out of self today. Went and spent some time at the flight line today. Had a great time and only nose-dived one time, no damage. I think I have a stalker. lol
Mighty fine, Dave! Congratulations on your new found freedom!
Nice wheels Dave. This is so true! I still drive a 1995 Dodge Caravan Sport that we have owned since it was new. Regular maintenance, fixing things that go wrong under normal wear and tear (on the 3rd transmission, about the same front ends/axels, etc) and with 213,000+ miles still chugging along. And still getting 20-22 miles per gallon on gas. Enjoy your new freedom!
I will not let vehicle ownership interfere with my two favorite activities: 1) going nowhere and 2) doing nothing. Nothing has changed in that regard.
It's remarkable to me how much my life as a single guy changed in between 1985 and 2005. In 1985 I was not interested in spending time at home by myself. By 2005, I had to be talked into going anywhere at all.
A good part of that difference is the Internet. No regrets at all on my part about that, no matter how much anyone else wants to engage in the popular older folks activity of lamenting (via computer) the computer age.

Great looking car!! Congrats!! But now you'll have to make yourself get out there and at least start it up from time to time. I let mine sit 2 weeks during a particularly cold spell, didn't go nowhere......squirrels ripped up the fire blanket under the hood and used it as nesting inside the engine compartment. It was the snacking on the spark plug wires that really caused the issues.
kewl!! Glad you had a fun safe time! Uhmmm.....if it follows you home do you get to keep it???
Dave,
Hoping it treats ya well, and vise versa!
As to knockin' on wood...
Hopefully, ya don't include me in da 'popular folks activity' of lamenting da web. It's been/is a fantastic cyber journey. AND, if not for our 'gathering' here, I don't even want to think of how much I would have missed and where I would be today!
From a humble beginning...
... here we are...
some better pics of kittie
Sterno, I see a two-cat household in your future.
haha me toSterno, I see a two-cat household in your future.
Hiya scott. Jup I spect you'll end up with that one too. Just depends on how feral it is. ya may not wanna bring it in the house if it's too wild.
If she/he dropped in on me, I'd feed it part of my 'cane cached canned tuna just to make sure it would 'hang around'! Wouldn't be da first stray feline dat has adopted us. Actually, I'm lookin' forward to da next one...
Scott, really proud of your care!
And that's when it becomes more trouble than it's worth and I call somebody to come tow it away.
Things that I have to get out there and do are not in my wheelhouse. Things that others tell me I have to get out there and do are even less in my wheelhouse (as you possibly suspect already after knowing me from here and from the HO). Avoiding having such things to do is an area where I excel. I know my strengths.
One year right before Thanksgiving we came home from a trip to find the cutest orange and white kitten camped out on our back porch. She was very friendly and affectionate, but with dogs that chase prey and a husband that does not like cats, she could not stay. I tried not feeding her hoping she would move on, but finally after several days broke down. I would put her in a shed when I had the dogs out. I notified my local dog club;many members have horses and she would make a perfect barn cat (if not a house cat). On Thanksgiving I received a call from a woman who works on one of the big horse farms. She came and got "Kitty" the next day. I saw the woman a few weeks later at a Christmas party and" Kitty" was now called Pumpkin and very much loved. I think this is a great thing you are doing Scott and yes, I see a new family member for you. Don't know how feral it is, but for a stray Pumpkin was very docile. Hopefully your kitty will fit in well.
Oh oh. We were out in the backyard playing fetch. She also doesn't have stitches on the outside. They're all on the inside. The outside is actually glued shut with medical super glue. Who'da thunk it?
Look great Kay. You'll love the seat in the shower. We never had one until we recently remodeled and I will never be without again.
You have my email address if you need it. Anytime my friend.
