I am sitting here finishing up my homework for today and I can't help but think that buying this new car is somehow starting a new chapter in my life. You see I have always been the same person, but I rarely buy a new car so its easy to break up the time periods in my life by the cars I have owned..

When I was young until I had my first stable job I owned a Red 93' Isuzu p/u truck. It was the perfect youth vehicle, small, quick, and attracted lots of attention from the cops.

Then I bought the 93' Honda Accord EX. A small economy car with attitude. Quick, smart and the perfect car for a young guy just starting out.

Now I have the 97' Acura RL which is smooth and sophisticated, well defined and says "I am smart and make good decisions". I really think this new car will help me move forward. Its a blessing to find this car.

I have been sticking to the plan and it seems to be working. So the best idea is to stick to my plan. The plan can be altered incrementally, but it must be organized and tallied. The plan consists of 3 levels; Career, Work, and Budget. As long as I stay focused on each priority, and underlying action item I will be a success.

the key is breaking large tasks into small manageable items, using time wisely, keeping notes and a schedule, and sticking to the plan.

I bought the 1997 Acura 3.5 RL. I pulled a carfax report on it, and it came out clean. The tire guy said the car was in excellent shape for having so many miles on it. I tracked it back to the Sanford Acura dealer and gave them a call, and they gave me the Radio Code and now I have tunes, although only on the back 2 speakers. Maybe my friends at BestBuy can help me out with rewiring the 6 disc changer in the trunk and the speaker problems. I also need to get a remote for the keyless entry. But I am just going to ride it out for a couple months before I do anything. Make sure the car is stable and sound.

No shelter

After a chemical accident from increased rain all my fish in the pond have died. Kujo and Gorbie are both dead. Kujo was about 10 inches. He was a big boy. So out of fustration, I filled in the fish pond today. As an added bonus this will keep the devil frogs away. They were keeping me up all night, I don't know where they go to in the daytime, but who really cares. As long as they don't come back. I am going to make a small patio where the pond used to be complete with 2 benches and a small table. I was aleady sitting out there earlier, and I can honestly say its going to be a nice space when I am done.
