The storm is past.

Another thunderstorm. The tree is lite by a streetlight and the sky by lightning.

A new mount enters the stable. A series of events (not a wreck) forced us to re-consider the herd on the farm. We considered all the choices:

1. New truck for me and give Deb the Taco – too much $$$
2. A 4×4 for Steph and we take the sweet Celica GT-S – too much $$$
3. A classic Vanagon for me and give Deb the Taco – kill me to see Deb destroy the Taco
4. Deb gets to pick a “new” car for herself (we ruled out the Mini and Beetle) – guess what won ; )
5. Fix the RAV4 – deemed a waste of money

In the end Deb picked a certified (extends the warranty) 2008 Honda Fit Sport, we got it for less than KBB and our trade was KBB for fair (which was a good deal for us) and the dealer really wanted to make the deal. They dropped the price and APR twice in 2 hours.

I guess my new Cyclocross bike will wait another year : (

You can never tell a cat’s personality till you live with it, this one is the sweetest cat, but can tell when I am doing work and is relentless to sit right where it is. (PS my friend Will was correct, black cats suck for PODs)

Dropping money into water. The school hosted a couple of companies and one of them had a flash that fires 20 times in a second, the Nikon D3s motor drive could not keep up, but it was fun.

Sam and I also hiked, played catch and read. The video stars Sam and Ramon. Too bad I had to come home, while putting stuff away I was attacked by yellow jackets in the barn… now the proud new owner of 3 welts.
