- Tomorrow is WifeGeeding’s birthday, but she got her present on Saturday, a new family vehicle, a GMC Acadia. It’s not brand new, but new to us.
- Everytime I purchased or was given a vehicle, it has rained. That streak held true again. So that’s happened for two Grand Ams, an Accord, 4Runner, Altima, Benz, and Acadia.
- I really wanted to buy a brand new vehicle, or even something with very low mileage, but it’s hard to justify such a purchase when I work from home and my wife is a full-time mom. Heck, our longest commute is to church and that’s only a seven mile journey.
- This may have been our least stressful car buying experience, at it was at Durant Toyota in Hudson Oaks, right outside of Weatherford. I remember as a kid riding to Fort Worth with my parents and always passing that massive auto dealership, but I never thought I would actually buy something from there.
- There was never a doubt I was going to finance through USAA, I’m just too loyal to them.
- WifeGeeding was visiting her parents in East Texas this weekend, so I ventured out to check out the car myself, which is a good 45-minute drive. But since we weren’t trading in a vehicle and she still needed to see it for herself, I had to drive back to Lewisville until she got home. After the kids got a brief nap, it was back driving west again.
- As a small gift to my wife, I let her drive home alone without the kids.
- One thing I always request when buying a car is a full tank of gas, otherwise no deal is going to happen.
- I wasn’t aware there was such a thing as “teavangelicals”, but some won’t vote for Romney because he’s Mormon.
- It looks pretty much certain that U2 will have a new album in 2013.
- Saw my first Peyton Manning commercial in a real long time, this one was for Buick.
- President Obama in a Heisman pose holding Earl Campbell’s Heisman.
- Now this is how in install a TV in the bedroom.

Aaron’s Last Wish – A $500 Tip For Pizza
My brother passed away July 7, 2012. His final wish in his will, if he left enough money, was that we have pizza and give the waiter or waitress a $500 tip. Aaron never had much money , and he didn’t have enough to make this happen, so I started a website and took donations. On July 10 we were able to make his wish come true for the first time.
We think he just wanted to provide a random act of kindness and generosity for someone he thought was under appreciated; the kind of thing that would make a lasting impact they would never forget.
