Awesome, I live at least 5 feet above the valley floor. I live at the base of Sunrise Mountain. I will have waterfront property someday..wooo hoo. I bet it will be kinda muggy though...yuk.
No need to go on a diet if people still live here. Instant steam room for life=skinny Hope someone is around to service my AC unit. Glad I got one that had to be powered down a bit to cool my house.
If you're interested in losing weight, I lost 30 pounds in 90 days on an awesome diet I invented myself. The food was good and quite nutritious; I did a huge amount of research into how to do it right. I gave it to another friend of mine and he lost 50 pounds in 5 months. My diet also lowered my cholesterol level by 50%. Glad to help if that's what you want.
Just purchased a 2004 Acura TL last week and love driving again. Trying to sell my 93 Camry with 255000 miles on it for whatever I can get.
It amazes me how long cars work and how well they perform nowadays. I've been driving a 2001 audi for a long time and the car never breaks. I have had one water pump need replacing, and that's it. Only routine maintenance. Granted, I don't drive ton, only bout 90k on it. But it just amazes me in comparison to old cars I had when I was younger and growing up. Eventually I'll need a new car, but I know I'm getting my use out of this one.
I bike or bus to work. I work at a hospital in Portland that's located on what is often called Pill Hill, and it has limited parking that costs a ton, so most of the 15-20,000 employees don't drive.
I drive an Xterra almost exactly like this one: I love driving it on my hunting trips. Call me crazy, but I think it's the nicest looking SUV to roll out since maybe the Scout II. I hate what they replaced it with. I added a Stowaway2 as shown here. They're made in Oregon. It was $700, but still cheaper than buying a bigger SUV, especially when factoring in gas. Great for putting dead critters in, as well as groceries and unruly children. Not at the same time. Only drawback is you have to go slow over the really nasty humps in 4x4 roads or the hitch will drag. It won't really harm anything, but it makes a terrible sound.
We sold all of our cars and we are now rollin' in a 1978 Jeep CJ-5 and a Ford Fusion. Medical bills are the devil
