    My son came today with a crew. They moved us to our new space. So here I am with boxes of stuff to be gone through. My son knows I can't lift so he never asked me to do anything except sort through thing and to say where to place things. I bought a new corner desk that I now can't use. I wasn't happy with it anyway. Son is delighted to get it. I've got one of those select number beds. No simple move with them. Anyway, we are exhausted.

    Well, when do they move in? Is your stove close to getting hooked up? Getting you and your bosses stuff moved is only part of what the boy has on his plate, I've been there done that.

    The mental part of sorting and moving seems worse than the lifting ever did. Bet you'll sleep good tonight Larry.

    If I sign up for email coupons and get one can you use it? Our TSC is a couple hours away, we will never use one.

    So is the Jeep Patriot. And the mileage isn't as good as the sub's. But the patriot and the sub's have a manual trans option that many don't. I think I haven't forgot how, But its been a while.

    I didn't know that. Liked the vehicle, Just not the cvt and it is a bit under power with the 2.4L. Gas mileage is a bit less than the suby too.

    Still leaning towards the Scooby do's for now. Or maybe an AWD Escape with the 2.0L Turbo popper.

    There is still a lot of other stuff to come down. Upstairs looks like a bomb went off. Our fault because we didn't but evert hinges in boxes. I don't know what kind of a schedule they now have for their move. They want
    To replace all the bedroom, bath and kitchen floors. They also want to paint and remove the last of the wall paper. No luck getting the stove hooked up.
    Yes, but it was midnight when I got the sheets on. Dragging this morning.

    Removing wall paper can be a pain if the walls weren't treated correctly before the paper was applied. Done that routine as well, also removed ceiling wash the hard way. Wish you well on getting the stove hooked up, I currently have Lowe's searching for our dishwasher. Left hand, right hand mix up likely. Got the CC bill yesterday and it was on it.

    Only complaint is the console digs into my leg. Eliminated once cruise control is engaged. Very impressed with the zoup and ride quality. I just can't see spending that much cash on a work beater that will have over a 100K in less than 5 years...... Looking at no more than $18K if possible. I can if I go sub's and might even get into the legacy wgn. Couldn't touch the Outback-Forester-Ctek!

    Yeah, at that kind of mileage I would be looking at the vehicles that get around 35 mpg or more. Elantra, Focus, Cruze and others.
