With the price of gas still going up, driving my big pickup trick everywhere is getting to be expensive. Last time I filled up it cost me $70 and that barely lasts a week when I use the truck for everything. I’m thinking I need to get a small car that gets good gas mileage for all the local errands and when I don’t really need a pickup truck.

My buddy Mason has a little Nissan Altima that he wants to sell. He needs the extra cash and doesn’t drive it much, so I told him I’d come take a look at it. If its in good shape and we can come to agreement on a fair price, I’d probably better off driving that car and he’ll get some cash out of it. Sounds like a deal – hope it proves to work out that way.

This year I was desperately trying to make some new years resolutions. I really plan to try to keep the ones I made. I want to lose some weight and so I have made a promise to myself that I will spend more time at the gym.

Another resolution I made was to change my driving habits. I know that I have using my cell phone while driving and that this is a dangerous practice. From now on, I will take my calls only when I have reached my destination or are in a safe place to talk.
