The Ides of March

Lots of changes of late.  Cathy surprised me with a new Nikon DSLR camera that I had been looking at for over a year.  Had to save up the money cause it was listed over $500.  She found it on the Armed Forces Exchange System.  After discounts she wound up spending $382 for the whole thing.

Next - we had started having problems with  our 2009 Chevy Silverado truck.  The electric windows were starting to malfunction and the rear door locks had stopped working.  The door locks alone were gonna be over $700 to get fixed and they could only be fixed at the dealer because it was the chip in the remote that had malfunctioned.  Lots of little things that were adding up to big dollars.  Anywho - we went by the dealer and found a 2013 Chevy Silverado LTZ71 4x4 that fit our budget - so now we gots a neeeew truck.  Cathy says it's just another computer to learn - and she's about right.

 

Now with the weather improving, strange but welcome, we're ready to get the pontoon out on Dalehollow and do some fishing or just hanging out.  Hopefully, this warmer weather will mark the change to spring and we can start planning on outdoor things, like hiking and exercise.  We're both about had enough cabin fever for this year.  Got to go to Ft. Campbell in Ky the end of this month as Cathy has finally gotten old and will have to go on Medicare.  We have to get her military ID changed and do some shopping in the new commissary they recently opened up.
