I Rode Amtrak up to Union Station in DC and took an Uber over to Maryland to buy myself a "new to me" truck yesterday that I drove home. First time in my life I've spent over 23k on a vehicle but after 57 years I decided to treat myself to a luxury grade truck. Of course it took about 6 months to convince my wife it was worth it! 2023 Toyota Tundra 1749 Edition with 5,500 miles. It drove great on the way home but it made me realize I'm getting old because I love all the chrome on it but my 20 something son and son-in-law said I should remove all the chrome and replace it with blacked out parts.

Nice. I thought about getting rid of the 2005 Duramax and getting a Toyota. When I did the research, price, performance, price, comfort, price...I changed my mind. I am looking at upgrading my boat instead. Gotta pay off the house first, that will be either this month or next, so it isn't that bad.

You got that for 23K? It would be triple that price in Wyoming/Montana/the Dakotas!
Triple Happy Birthday, man!

One day I was helping load a customer's truck with the lumber he had brought. And he told me something I remember to this day - a pickup truck is a man's Cadillac. My friend you have yourself a very nice Cadillac. Enjoy yourself.

I had never paid more than 23k for a vehicle in my life till now. I did put 2/3rds down on it so I only financed 18k on it. It was this or a Lexus but I’ll get more use out of this. I’ve been blessed in my life and can’t complain, the Lord has been good to me.
