Good Morning. Beautiful sunrise. Solar cells make lots of juice. Supposed to be in the upper 70's. Remembering those who gave everything so that we can live the way we choose. ~S~

I haven't seen any yet this year. Some years it can be hard to be outside, my dogs suffer also.

Good Morning. 0930, sunny, 80F with 75% humidity. Forecast high of 89F with 75% chance of a late afternoon thunderstorm, and a low of 69F tonight. I had to finish watching the Coke 600 this morning, just couldn't stay awake until the end last night. Margie is off with Cousin Dee doing the shop/lunch/shop thing, so I'm going to try to catch up on some of my outside chores while she is gone. I have about three days worth that need doing.

A big thank you to all the Vet's out there. This great country wouldn't be what it is with out the men and women who have served in the armed forces.

Have to clean up the little VW Golf today, leaving it at the Toyota dealership tomorrow while I take home an Avalon to try out, make sure it fits in the garage, as my garage is not long enough for the suburban, for example. Needed a more comfortable car than the Golf, though I love the diesel performance. It's not an expensive car, I won't get a lot of money on a trade, so I'm wondering if I should just keep it. Wondering if future snowbirding might call for it. but since I rarely get on planes, and will likely drive where I'm going, I'm having a hard time justifying the expense of a truck and two cars for one guy. As would most folk I think. Unless the third car was a pure toy, and nothing wrong with that.

The Toyota Avalon is boring but big and very comfortable and amazingly, gets to sixty in 6.1 with a fairly small six cylinder engine.
And it handles decently after they reworked it last year. Reminds me of a Buick Lucerne I had, with the V8 and GM's electronic suspension. The Avalon is a slightly smaller version, gets fifty percent better gas mileage, and accelerates faster. Technology at work.

And lastly speaking of technology, I was delighted to be able to get the model without most of the electronic nannies, no buzzers on my butt or ding dongs when it thinks I'm driving incorrectly. With all the weaving that goes on around here still due to bad roads and potholes, those nannies would overheat, and surely overheat me.
But the backup camera with guidance lines works fine, and that's all the stuff I wanted.

ok, back to regular programming.

Drew, I looked at the Avalon before I got the great deal on my Camry. Two of Margie's friends whom she rides with to the various conferences around the state have them, and they are a very comfortable ride. But the deal I found on my used '13 Camry was too good to walk away from. {it had a little fender bender {{which was repaired}} 3 months into a lease with 2.5K miles for $17.6K}
