• Trying to catch up on what’s happened in the recent past …….

  Last fall for hunting season, Greg and I went to Juniata county (County
  Juniata if we were in Ireland, but we can only wish, right?) to hunt on
  Shade Mountain. I took my wife’s Chevy Astro because it’s big enough
  to haul a deer if we could ever kill one.

  Anyway, I realized that taking a relatively nice minivan on mountain
  trails wasn’t the best idea, so I started looking for some sort of
  older, inexpensive 4×4 vehicle. You can find some like that for about
  $1K – 1500.

  I knew a friend of mine had an old Chevy Blazer that he may have been
  trying to sell, so I emailed him about it. He said to call him and that
  I couldn’t beat the price. Sounded promising. So anyway, to make a long
  story short, he ended up giving me the Blazer! Way cool! So now I have my 4×4. I told my family that it’s a “man’s truck”.

  Greg and I used to joke about going to the gun store and all these
  other guys would be there in their trucks and SUVs and we’d pull in
  with our Ford Taurus. Now we can go there and fit right in. Ours even
  has some rust on it to make it look more masculine!

  Oh, and Tara had already stolen my Taurus anyway, so I really needed my own vehicle so that played into the decision.
