Hello All,Again it's been awhile and again i seem to run out of time,what an excuse but you know what they say ,an excuse is better then none.The weather is very nice here and almost a bit to warm for the time of year, but i'm not complaining.
We went and did something big yesterday. the last time we were going camping we thought to get an early start and got in the truck at 7:45 a.m and turned the key and it just went click,click and so called caa or aaa what ever country you are in and they came about an hour later and towed it to the shop. This was the second time this happened so we had to put in a new start moter. The truck is 8 years old but very low milage. We are not impressed, however my hubby and i have talked which is good in any situation ha ha.We said maybe get a new truck? and trade in the car and the truck? well you know how that goes! Now last week we were so busy and just talked over the pros and cons..You see we have all winter before something really should be done.But yesterday we went out to see how much this would set us back,and ohhh that is a lot of money.We were in the city and thought to get a feel for how much we might get for a trade in and were very disapointed,However they showed us a pretty fine truck,with all the gagets.It even has a camara to back up to the trailer,and it drove so nice.then we asked them to make us a deal and see if we could come to some agreement.They made a very compelling deal and we went out for lunch at two and talked. My hubby was impressed and said i think we should go for it! I am usually the one that says lets wait awhile ,but this time i was right there with him. So the story goes we went and did it.Hopefully this works out for us. We traded in the car and now we are going to sell our truck privately. We spent some money on it last year by putting on new struts and brakes and brake linings and last month a new start moter so it drives just fine, but they were not going to give us enough for it,and we wanted a bit heavier truck to pull the trailer.Our old truck has all the gagets also but is a bit lighter and does not have the quad cab but one and a half cab and this presents a problem,as our grandchildren are getting to tall to sit in the back.So this will solve two problems. Today is the after shock,and we are going to have to get used to it a bit yet hoping we did the right thing.
Well so much for my news! I just red some of your posts and i hear you are all doing pretty good.Toodie you are making my brain work, i seem to be unable to respond to your posts,maybe you could guide me a bit.Remember my blog name? Thats me LoL.
Have a great week you all and God bless!

Hi Margaret, It is very stressful to me buying a new vehicle. It sounds as if you made a fair deal and that is good. Good luck with selling the truck.
