Welcome

They say if you want something done, give it to a busy person. I guess I am using reverse psychology here and saying that I will get more done if I keep myself busy. Thus begins my quest to complete 100 goals before I turn 100 year old. This is clearly an exercise in faith that I will indeed live to be 100. I will use a 'Post' for each goal to give updates along the way. Start the clock: July 1, 2011!

7. Buy a New Truck - Done

Sadly, after many years of faithful service, my 1994 Acura Legend with 221,000 miles, died of a blown head gasket.  I managed to find a replacement vehicle that happens to be a truck :)  I won't call this one complete, because it is not a new truck, but it a nice used 2009 Toyota Tundra that meets my current needs perfectly!
In my possession for only a few days and I already took it off road for a Boy Scout Camporee outing.

    Interesting you claim that you took it out for a 'Boy Scout Camporee'...looks pretty secluded and uninhabited with boy scouts to me. Looks like you and your truck had a nice time on your first date.
    Congrats!
    I do have to say, the Acura is looking a little lonely.
