- Gas for the red buggy is now $4/gal around here. Yes, I know it’s more expensive elsewhere in the USA. But that first tank of $4 gas was a shock to the system.
I’m checking into getting a car with better gas mileage but since the red buggy is paid for and car loans for used BMW’s are hard to come by… I’m not sure what I’ll find that will be worth getting. Especially since I want manual transmission and that’s rare in the model I want.
Not sure about the color but this is the basic model and price I’m looking for:http://www.zibe.com/for-sale/Used-2001-bmw-5_series-530i_sedan-manassas-va-1565857.html
If they still have it in late June I might have to take a trip there…
- I’ve paid the site hosting fee for this blog for another year. Assuming “Userland” is still hosting/supporting “Radio” blogs for the next year.
Next year… I’m thinking of finding a different web host — one that lets me do more than a basic blog.
- I’m swamped with work… a project I was hoping to have done has gone seriously over time (For assorted reasons — only 1/4 of which I’ll take “credit” for myself. It was a pick-up because the client wanted it done sooner than the original project owner could get to it and I was “free”. Unfortunately, it turned out to be much more complex than I was told/expected and since I’m not the one who did the time estimate on it and I didn’t have anything to do with setting the deliverable date…
ARGH!! Unhappiness in Mudville….
And a learning experience… to say the least…
