Buh Bye Dually!

It's been 3 years. Time for Dually to go. Going to a very nice, loving home. He will be traveling over the road nationally to pick up custom cars. Josh will be a good owner. He's coming to pick up Dually today and told us he already has scheduled an appointment to detail & wax him. Lovely.

Isabelle never had a window to poke her head out of...only a little window that popped out - she could put her nose out, but actually could not hang her head out. Plus, I never liked the seats or the console in the Dually. The seats were uncomfortable and the console would flip up if you leaned on it. Not quite my favorite vehicle. Greg has a lot of ideas what to buy next, consolidate all our cars so we don't have to insure EVERYTHING...or get a roll-off to haul his trailer across country. He's not sure.

We went last night to pick up the check as the new owner is financing it through American General Credit. We made a nice tidy profit considering that we put on 30,000K miles in 3 1/2 years, and never put a penny into it except for the killer stereo. Afterwards, we stopped on the way home to eat at Las Chavelas - Greg's favorite Mexican restaurant.

After my 15.9 miles biking, we went to get lattes, drop off garbage at the dump, then stop at the Post Office to mail the kids' boxes - mostly clothes that they had purchased while they were here. Greg joked that he had to sell the Dually in order to pay for mailing the boxes. One box weighed 43 pounds = $75 plus insurance...the other weighed about 50 pounds = $83 plus insurance. Also mailed off Jill's baby blanket. Damn it. I forgot to take a picture to show. Shit. Crap. I'm so dumb.

Greg will work down at the shop for a while on Joe's Bronco; while I work on my quilt some more. Then at 3:00 we plan to go to the FREE concert.
