Froggy's sick but not dead...

He has a new water pump, theromstat and radiator and is running but still not completely fixed. But he'll be OK for SO to leave at work and drive around the plant (we ride together anyway).


SO went ahead and bought a new truck yesterday - reluctantly, but he knew he needed it. We spent 2-3 hours in one dealership not getting anywhere, went to another one and had just the truck we wanted in 15 minutes. It's coming from another location and will have a tow bar installed when it gets there, so we'll pick it up next weekend. And that means we're back on schedule for a trip to Texas to see the bluebonnets in April! YEA! :)

Hi Shirley Sue :)


We got a Toyota Tundra. SO's a Toyota man, no other brand was an option. He actually wanted another Tacoma like Froggy but the Tundra had 0% interest and the Tacoma didn't. We were able to get the rubberized floors and vinyl seats like he wanted (he's not the cleanest in his truck! lol), and the crewcab and blue color that i wanted, so everyone's happy. :)

You were lucky to get a Toyota before they go out of business! Tell SO to take good care of it. They did have a good track record...too bad they've had so much trouble lately.
