hmmmm.....

some of you more astute readers may notice that the last picture is different from the one before it (and most of the ones before that) in one very important way... yes, that's right... our tow vehicle changed! the dodge was beginning to really become and endless laundry list of minor problems... nothing major... other than a major headache, and i suggested replacing it... and thus the search began!

i love Craigslist, really i do. while checking my local area, i found a guy with a van, and he was willing to trade for a truck! the day before we go to show the guy our truck, the power steering goes out. turns out the guy is really handy, and ready and willing to take on all the truck's idiosyncrasies... even the pump! we traded the truck for the van, straight up.

the van is a 1995 GMC G20 conversion van with all the bells and whistles (cruise control! how i've missed you!!!) and powered by a 350. it even had a hitch already.

not to say that the van doesn't have its own problems. i mean, come on... its 14 years old (holy crap, already?) right now it really needs a radiator flush and fill... but each problem as it comes.
