BUY, BUY, BUY!

Oh boy, oh boy!  Nothing like spending money!  Last week we had the pleasure of getting to buy a new hot water heater after ours flooded the garage ($525).  Irregardless, I still felt pretty flush so I made arrangements to have a cruise control unit installed in our Jeep Wrangler ($462).

One silly purchase let to another and so I decided that we needed a HD DVR in the motor home.  After all, when we are in Colorado this summer, we will want to be able to record the soaps to watch when we get back from our adventuresome escapades in the mountains.  At first it looked as though it was almost free but by the time I got to the end of the story, it came to $268 for the unit, including installation.

Being the profectionist I reckon I am, I noticed that the Jeep was pulling to the right a tiny bit.  Took it to the shop for an alignment and learned that the tie rod is bent.  By the time it is installed and the alignment done, I get to enjoy paying a $250 bill.

I have been sort of wanting to buy a pickup (since I no longer have one) but I realize I don't need to buy it so we can take care of fun stuff like hot water heaters, HD DVRs, cruise controls, and repairs to the Jeep!

A friend from our church RV group passed away last weekend and it makes us more aware of how blessed Toni and I are that we still have each other around!
