Today I went to take Chad's father's trailer back to their home. I loaded up the girls, and hooked up the trailer and made the 100 mile trek to Beloit. The girls were hungry so we grabbed lunch at Dairy Queen. Afterwards we went to order some ice cream, Chad's parents came in and told me "Some Yahoo went and took up a bunch of parking spots with a trailer!" LOL!! I went and offered to buy their lunch, but his mom distracted me while his dad paid for their lunch. They do pretty good teamwork.

I invited them to have lunch at our table, we were discussing "this and that's"

At some point in the conversation I made the statement that my Tahoe has nearly 200,000 miles on it and has yet to let me down. (it was relevant to the current conversation at the time.)

ooops...

Spoke too soon.

Went out to the Tahoe, reached in to start the engine and turn the A/C on so that I didn't have to sit in the oven.

it started and died, tried again and again. Just then Chad's parents saw the hood up and reminded me of the 200,000 mile comment. I tried it once again and it started up and never gave me another problem.

on the way home I spotted an Excursion for sale on the side of the road.... I asked the wife about trading vehicles. Of course I was immediately shot down. But she did at least entertain the thought for a second or two.

an here is where the trouble begins.. I started thinking about how nice it would be to have a Raptor. I know better than to ask now, but maybe some day I will find a used one for a price I can afford. (maybe 20 years from now?)

 

OOOOH boy I Like the excusion, I do, I do!

Glad you got home ok.

well, that might be a bit too much to ask the wife for. The one I saw on the side of the road was $4,500. I didn't stop to look at it, just noticed it on the way home.
