ACK!
Gas prices are going up again. I figured it would happen but I'm shocked at how quickly it is happening. Such is life I'm not concerned because when gas was pushing $4.00/gal we purchased two Ford Focuses. Randi's is a 2007 Focus SE, Mine is a 2002 Focus ZTW station wagon. These cars both get more than 20MPG in the City and 33 to 35 on the Highway. Both are good cars and We are happy with them. I used to be a big GM fan when I was in my teens and my first car was a 1973 Chevy Nova and I've driven GM and VW and Honda's since I started driving. GM hasn't made a good car in years that I've seen.
I got the Ford bug when someone sold me a 1988 Ford Aerostar van and I loved it! That was such a good running van. When my first wife and I split up in Nov 1996, I purchased a 1991 Ford Escort Station Wagon. It had 49,566 miles on it when I purchased it. When I applied for the loan to get that car my credit was SO wrecked at the time my loan rate for that car was 16%. At the time I was just thankful that someone let me have a loan. In a change of fortune, in 2008 when I called my credit union to try to purchase the 2007 Ford Focus that Randi drives, when they called me back, they said " Mr Massengill, go pick the car you want and come back and tell us which car it is and we will go from there" I didn't even walk into the credit union to purchase that car. I signed the papers and faxed them back to the credit union. that is the easiest I have ever purchased a car in my life! I can say that Randi being around has helped make life a lot easier. She has a very good head for money.
I'm publishing The Daily ACK from a blog for the first time. I'm a bit scared about this change. it is like jumping off a cliff.... now everyone can see my thoughts but I'm having such a good time writing everyday, no matter what the subject that I decided to move to a real blog. I'll get my photos sorted out and things will be back to "normal"....if there is such a thing around the nut house! Who is to say what is normal??? Once I learned that my normal and someone else's normal are two different things, I felt much better.....it was like opening up a door in my mind! ...
Ok...I'm all ACKED out for the day
Have a good day
