..is grounded.
you're awesome for helping a friend out like this. thanks for the update.
wow, hope he appreciates the amount of effort you are putting into it. but, is he refunding the money you already paid on it?
or did you pay anything yet?
i've paid $3200 out of $5000 on it. we'll have to talk it out on the money, i think most of it'll get applied to other stuff i owe him for (he had helped me keep my sewing business afloat there for awhile). he definitely doesn't have the money to give back..
i'd like to have a few extra hundo taken off that too for the new radiator, exhaust, hitch, ball and and wiring stuff i've put into the jeep since having it, plus the driving it up for him saved him a bunch of money and time, too. might be enough to call it all even (all the help he gave me in the past, i mean).
i gotta tell ya though, that jeep is a runner - not one hiccup and it's been across the country twice and up and down the mountains to see my grandparents 6ish times in 6 months. i'm not at all convinced i should be giving it back. gotta love reliability and all...
so - an update in the roadtrip journal:
this is the perfect time to see/be in minnesota - it's gorgeous and green, not humid, no bugs just yet - and maybe 80. i know better after having lived here for so long, though: enjoy this and gtfo before the weather changes.
fixing my mtn bike up to bring home with me (didn't have room with it when i moved last winter) this evening, and then it is off tomorrow ride a bit, hike memorial bluff, and get some cheese curds, burger and a beer down at the local pub (where everybody knows yer name).
happy holiday, all.
