I hate outsourcing. Everytime I talk to someone from some other side of the planet, they repeat everything I say, followed by “Is this correct?” YES! Just answer the question!

My New Truck
I got my new truck, here she is… now I just have to name it. Any suggestions?
Of course, the picture looks awful because there is not enough light out, and Lowell wanted to see a picture right away…
New Truck
Well, I am very close to getting a new truck. I am getting one today or tomorrow. I’m fairly excited. Yes, I will have monthly payments, but after cutting down on a few expenses here, and spending less money on gas, I should be able to make it work. And if the housing market ever goes back up a little, I could have it payed off in no time. Anyway, I am getting a Chevy Colorado. Here are some specs:
- Z71
- Deep Tint Glass
- Locking Differential
- Aluminum wheels
- XM Radio
- Front tow hooks, and rear tow hitch (jet ski, here I come!)
- “Off Road” Chassis
- Spare Tire
I got a great deal at Winter Haven Chevy. I am getting it for $22,800 after all the taxes and fees.

The Shat
I am sitting here watching Comedy Central’s Roast of William Shatner. I commented that there were people from other Star Trek series in the audience. Jessica then said “William Shatner was in Star Trek?” … a pause … I then said “William Shatner is Star Trek.”
Behind the Zaurus’ Back
I am thinking of cheating on my Zaurus. There is a new possible love in my gadget life. It is of course, the Treo 700p. I looked at one today at a Sprint store. I was quite impressed. It’s fast, the Blazer browser works well, including on Exchange OWA, it supposedly has Bluetooth dial-up capabilities with an extra $40 service on the plan. And Sprint’s free incoming plan is cheaper than Nextel’s. However, I had to resist at the store, as I am still dependent on my Nextel for the Creditel PowerSwipe. I asked if I could set my Nextel phone to a data-only plan, but they said no, so I promptly negotiated by walking out. I’ll get some other store to do it for me. Actually, I am talking to a Creditel person who will try and pull some strings for me. It will of course, set me back $400, plus whatever else they charge me for being a loyal Nextel subscriber for several years now (yeah, like they really care). I will also be paying $76+ dollars for a case from Piel Frama whom I have become a loyal user of, and a 2GB SD card. So what do you think? Should I get it? What ever would I do with my Zaurus? Will it collect dust? Or can I still get use out of it?
