More Snow

It's Sunday afternoon and snowing again here in Laurel. Not much though. A very light dusting. See...


I know, you can't really tell it's snowing.

HEY!!! What's that thing blocking Jackass' view???

It's my NEW RIDE!!!

Actually, it's used. A 2002 Nissan Xterra. Jackass decided to start making weird engine noises on Friday on my way home from work. At first, I thought it was something with the exhaust system. A fairly easy fix, right? John informed me it was more serious. We could have taken Jackass in to see how much the damage would be to fix him... but poor Jackass is old. How much more could he give after almost 12 years and 205,000+ miles of service?

William said I should get a brand new FJ Cruiser, which is something I really would have loved to have. But I didn't want to put something brand new through the 500 mile torture of my weekly work commute. I do think I will come to enjoy this new truck as much as my beloved Jackass. And ain't it purty? Here it is next to Ninny:

Sorry I haven't been blogging much or uploading the rest of my Thailand pictures. It's been hard to come home and hang out in front of a PC after being in front of one all day long at work. I'm off tomorrow for President's Day, so maybe I'll get everything uploaded and such... after taking the new ride out for a spin.
