One Last Time

Over the past few years, Jes has accumulated a few toys that now sit around unused. These things include an extra bicycle, an extra iPod, and an extra car or two. Now that he’s in between jobs, he has the time to put these items up for sale and actually sold both the bike and iPod on eBay for more than he expected and then today he sold his RSX. We’re also getting rid of the CL on Saturday so by tomorrow, we will be a single-car family…at least until Jes finds a real job since I’m not sure how far this “sell-my-old-stuff” job can take him. Anyone looking for a Palm Tungsten? It’ll be up for auction on eBay very soon.

By the way, Jes parked the CL in the “premium spot” tonight for one last time. (see entry dated 03.09.05)

A gas station!!

I went to Mammoth for the first time this weekend. Jes and I brought my brother; and Debbie (my cousin-in-law) met up with us on the mountain too. The snow conditions were great and we got in a full day of skiing/snowboarding. We also got to try out my new toy…a new BMW X3! Yup, we ordered it a week ago and it got delivered just in time on Friday evening for us to take it up to Mammoth. It was sweeeeeet. There was snow and ice on the road and it handled it just fine. The only near disaster we encountered this weekend was on our way back. We miscalculated the gas station locations and almost ran out of gas in the middle of the desert. The trip computer even said that we had zero miles left on our gas tank but we had enough fumes to go around a mountain to a small gas station that was actually for dirt bikes. Phew! I was totally getting ready to call for roadside assistance and sit for 2 hours.

We salute you, Jawbone!
