Kick Off

In 10 days I'm leaving for a cross country trip that I have been planning for a year and half. My dog and I will be camping at National Parks, hiking, working and exploring anything that catches my interest. I have at least 4 months set aside for the trip. I have no real plan or route for the trip except to stay away from cold weather. I have a list of sites that I want to see and hope people will post suggestions.

I quit my job and move out of my apartment next week. I've sold or gave away well over 2/3 of my belongings. I'm selling my '04 VW Passat to fund the trip. Anyone need a car?

I bought a 1982 Mercedes a couple of weeks ago. I wanted an old diesel car to convert to veggie oil. The Grease car kit has arrived and is getting installed this week. Yah! I'm now the proud owner of a 26 year old, 187,00 miles driven, luxury cruising vehicle. Here's hoping I don't have to camp and work at a WalMart in the middle of now where to pay for repairs.

I bought the car off of craig'slist from a very nice guy. The car is now know as the Mac N Cheese car because of the following email exchange. I wish I had a camera on my face when I opened the first email. I was totally confused by the email but mainly I was disappointed. How could I buy the car off this guy? I did find him and the car through Craig's list after all. But thankfully the second email had a reasonable and funny explanation. I bought the car. The seller showed me the hamsters and his girlfriend when I went to pick it up.

Nice to meet you today. As you probably figured out, the silly hamster email was supposed to be sent to my girlfriend, M***, but do to the wonders of auto-complete, you got it. Realizing what happened 20 minutes ago, I am beyond embarrassed, but also cracking up laughing. I'll joke around with her sometimes, sending fake emails from our hamsters "Mac" and "Cheese". Anyway, thought I would give you an explanation on why you got a crazy email this AM. Bet this didn't happen when people sold cars in the newspaper...
