Truckin'

We sold my beloved Focus about 2 weeks ago. I had had her for a long time, but since I don't drive much (less than 2 miles a week), and she wasn't really quite up to Truckee winters, we decided to sell it. We got a great price for it since I had taken pretty good care of her.

Yesterday, we bought a pretty great 1971 Dodge Power Wagon truck.

It was owned by a police officer in Reno and then went to his daughter. He took great care of it and took copious notes for each upgrade and repair he did. We got a big binder full of scratched notes, warranties, and manuals. It had a cab over camper at one point, which we'd really like to do again, so we're happy that it has a few things done already that we won't have to worry about.

Howdy!

Since I've been a complete knit-blog slacker (I mean, S.L.A.C.K.E.R., no reading them, no writing them. I'm so bad!) I'm going to provide a quick month in the life of me.

I packed a lot.



I gave away 3 garbage bags full of yarn to my best friends.



I drove. And drove and drove. (I had an incident that lead me to spend a huge portion of the trip in a mechanic's waiting room in the-middle-of-nowhere West Virginia, fortunately, I had a tiny pink baby hat in my purse to knit.)



I finally got here and unpacked and knit and the world was happy again.




I'm mostly out of boxes now. I am starting to feel at home in my new place. I'm in love with my apartment. It's adorable and has all sorts of nifty features. (I'll start documenting those soon.) I need to knit about 60832 rugs though. The wood floors are COOOOOLD.
