With everyone guessing it was a truck that Vince had ordered, you got me remembering how much we need a full size pickup. No . . we’re not getting one. Yesterday I had to reset a password on some very old account. The guy on the phone with tech support had to ask me all kinds of questions because I have a different phone number and address from their records. He asked “What color was the 1996 Chevy pickup that you owned?” I said “The 1996 Chevy pickup that we STILL own, because we never get rid of our vehicles? That Chevy pickup?” We both laughed!
This morning we were going on a little shopping expedition but first, we had to make a stop by the landfill. But first .. Vince had to load the pickup.
Stuff it full, Vince! There are lots of boxes!
Can he squeeze just a few more boxes in there?
Oh, yes. There’s room for a few more flattened boxes. And, what about that outfit? I’d better not say much. I have on shorts and boots almost to my knees when working in the garden.
Add a few bags of house trash . . is there room?
Yep, he got it all in there. Poor old truck. It looks good for a 16 year old vehicle that lived with lots of snow and salt on the roads. It still has the best air conditioner of any of our vehicles. I guess I’m glad we have it.
Thankfully he showered and changed clothes and shoes before we went on our shopping expedition.

The little truck that could. Kind of like my 1991 Buick Regal…good AC, not so good heater, no visible rust, keeps on running. I think it will out-live me. I know what it’s like to never get rid of a vehicle. There’s times I want to put a sign on a couple that says, “Steal me. Please.” 🙂

You haven’t said much about what kind of temperatures you are having.. ours have been so high lately.. 106 or 109 today I forgot which he said.. but tied the record…. still 102 this time in the evening. 8 pm

Still haven’t seen a green t-shirt in a while. Has Vince decided he likes yellow better?

You just reminded me !! We have a Chevy Silverado…..and I really need to make a dump run. That trash sure piles up quick. It was in the low 70’s here today 🙂 might get to 80 by next weekend, maybe??? Vince was styling in those pictures, lol. DH does the same thing…he wears the holiest jeans and the dirtiest t shirts, he hates to change clothes to go to town. He much prefers his dirty ol clothes, and shop. There is always a truck or two for him to work on:) Hope it is warm enough for us to go out in the boat!! I cannot fathom a guess as to what you are getting!!! It will be a surprise for me.

It’s a Chevy, need i say more. Well we like Chevy trucks. 😉
AND they do last if reasonable taken care of even in our high salt NY area.
Hugs!!!!

Can you recycle all those cardboard boxes at the landfill? I’ve recycled all my cardboard and other paper products such as newspapers and magazines for years. I also recycle aluminum and steel cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic bottles and milk jugs, and a few other things. Kitchen scraps (except for meats) go into my compost bins. I usually have only one small bag of actual trash/garbage for the weekly garbage pickup.

Our favorite vehicle (we still have) is our 1997 Chevy Suburban. We bought it in 2002 & use it exclusively for travel. It’s a gas hog, but oh the comfort is unbeatable. Besides, when we travel, we feel the need to take half the house with us & the “Burb” has plenty of room.
