March 17th 2007 - St Patty's Day - A New Truck and a New identity!

Shane and I have never been to a Kansas City St Patricks Day parade.  First it seemed like it always landed on a week day - we had to work or second we were just too fat to do it.  We, I mean me, got tired of walking got crabby and then wouldn't want to do it again.

However this year, we felt great 2 years out of surgery and we were walking over 3 miles every other day.  We decided we are going to do it.  We went downtown walked 5 blocks saw the parade, which was pretty cool and started back to home.  We had discussed it several times in the past that there is no baby coming we should go ahead and live the way we want.  Buy a bigger truck then buy a boat or camper.  Live it up, travel have fun.

As we headed into Olathe, we thought we will stop at the Nissan dealership 'just to look'.  There was nothing we were really interested in.  So we walked down to the Toyota dealership.  Looked around and out came the buzzards.  So we really didnt see anything and here came the salesman.  Explained to him what were looking for and they didnt have anything......we were getting ready to leave when, they told us about a SUV that was just traded yesterday - they havent even had the chance to look at it and wash it.  And if we could give them a couple hours they would do so.  We said sure, we had nothing better to do.

Three hours later we left our 1998 Isuzu Rodeo and walked out with a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder (which is one of the trucks we really wanted).  It fell into our laps, we couldnt pass it up......yeah right......
