new truck

the transmission in our rodeo is shot it is not worth putting a rebuilt tranny in it.

not that anyone in alaska will rebuild transmissions for isuzus. not that anyone knows how to diagnose and fix isuzus in alaska.
but thats a sore topic.

after five months of being down to one car.
and then a few weeks of being compeltely vehicle-less.
after test driving five vehicles.
after bringing three of those to a mechanic for inspections.
after much consideration and prayer.
we bought a truck.

this will mostly be b's truck while i will mostly get the car.

he has been the most put out during the past five months. while i was terribly inconvenienced by having to get up a half hour earlier to bring him to work, he was terribly inconvenienced by having to bum rides home and waiting until i was done with the car before he could take it to do errands.

not that he did many errands, mind you. and he drove whenever we went somewhere together.
but still.
its not the same as a vehicle to call your own.
