The end of a smelly era

[jordanna]

The Kraken, our beloved 1986 diesel truck, is gone! We sold it last night, and he is off to a new home. We didn't get the best price in the world, but decided that it was worth taking a small hit to have it taken care of before the kid came. Friends of ours listed two much more desirable vehicles in July. They finally sold one of them in December and still have the second sitting in their parking lot. Now we just need to get Cricket out of the shop... Turns out 100% biodiesel blows up injector pumps. Or, ours just wear out faster than other peoples. We have officially replaced the Kraken with a much more kid-friendly vehicle: Jayne, the 1991 Volvo 240 sedan. You can't find a safer cheap car on the planet. He has been a great addition to the family, and we are happy to have this all wrapped up. Tyson is happy I am in a safe vehicle, and I am happy that it doesn't take a fork lift to get me into the car anymore.
