New Truck
Times are changing. As much as I love my Land Cruiser, its going to have to go. Its just too much truck to be driving my commute every day, and the utility of the big 4×4 isn’t getting used as much as it should. So, we’ve been shopping for something different.
To complete the whole domestication process, I need to have a pickup to haul general house-stuffs around. I have always been a Toyota fan, and wanted something smaller with decent gas mileage, so the Tacoma was the obvious choice. The flavor of mine is a 1999 4×4 with the V6, and the TRD Offroad package. Fun stuff. Shouldn’t be getting stuck anytime soon.
And of course, its already come in handy. Hauling lumber, and an impromptu work-bench. And of course, gotta haul something ridiculously large with it, so we piled some of our new trees into it instead of opting for a delivery. Is hanging 15′ of tree out the back of the bed legal?
We didn’t get busted…so it must be. Now to plant those trees. Anyone want to come over for a potluck/hole digging party?
And this one’s for the Swenson’s. Nice personalized license plate, seen on the commute.

You gotta imagine there are about 40,000 people here in MN that apply for that plate each and every calendar year.

Oh for funny.
You collect trucks like I collect shoes. It has gotten out of hand. I like how Nyah’s got a case of the wiggles.
