One More Payment (then it’s not mine)!

Honda Odyssey
Well, it’s closing on four years ago we made the silly decision to lease my wife’s Honda Odyssey. With that, we have not yet decided if we are going to buy it outright, or shop around and find something a little newer.

My wife would like something a little bit bigger, we have car seat issues to deal with. We test drove the Chevy Astro mini conversion but it was big to drive, and didn’t gain very much interior space. We also drove the Chevy Uplander and we weren’t very pleased with it.

The next phase is to revisit the Honda Dealer and see what we can do.

I know what I’m NOT going to do, and that is lease another vehicle.

The Mars Hoax

mars

OK, after I got an email last week and watched the Power Point Slideshow about how Mars would be visible, and as large as the moon, I fell for it.

I only found out it was a hoax when I read on Cory Holt’s Blog about it being a hoax.

I Finally Upgraded

I’ve been putting it off forever it seems, upgrading my blog from 1.5 to the newer 2.X version. I am always weary of these sort of upgrades. I surely don’t do them right away, let someone else work the bugs out. Now that it’s been done, it turns out it was rather painless and took less than ten minutes.
