My step daughter Vic is living out in Breckenridge, Colorado. I know she stops by and reads this from time to time so I just wanted to drop here a note.

HI VIC!

I reckon it is just about time for snow to start falling out there so not too much longer before she will be back on the mountain with her snowboard.

Sandy and I drove out there to visit her last winter. Even though I do not ski and I definitely do not snowboard Breckenridge is a cool little town and I am looking forward to when we can get out there again.
Hope all is going well Vic, see you soon.

The 1996 Jeep that we had with nearly 250,000 miles was starting to have a few problems. Nothing major, but is it really worth dumping cash into a vehicle that is over 10 years old with a bunch of hard miles on it? It was a good vehicle and it was kind of hard letting it go (would have been a bit easier if it had actually been worth something as a trade in).

Anyway we picked up this 2003 Nissan Xterra with only 39,000 miles on it. Got it for a pretty good deal from our friend Larry over at Duke Automotive in downtown Suffolk. If you live in the area and you are looking for a car check them out. Larry and the guys over at Duke will treat you right. We have actually bought 3 cars from them, Sandy’s mom’s car, Sandy’s Jeep Wrangler, and now the Xterra and they have always treated us right.

Here are a couple of pics of the new toy.

So far I like it a lot. It rides nice and the gas mileage is not too bad. It is 4 wheel drive so I am looking forward to the chance to take it out on the beach.
