A wicked-ass storm kicked in here and dumped a mere 4 or 5 inches of snow, preceeded by rain and sleet and slush and accompanied by up to 100 MPH winds so that all of the roads were ice-coated and there were accidents galore. Co-ool! I worked until about 5:45, then drove on some little-used back roads over to Home Base and bought 10 cement blocks and a 50 lb. bag of sand, all of which i loaded into my van right over the rear axle. Then i got out on the highway and had no problems coming home. I saw that all of the surface streets were backed up with very slow-moving traffic, while I-25 was pretty clear. But all this made me reconsider my pickup-truck buying plans. Maybe i should buy a 4-wheel drive instead of a two-wheel drive.

I watched "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" and "Time After Time" on video that evening.

Baked Bread. Saturday was when all of the car ads came out in the paper. I looked and called a few and then test-drove a Nissan 4x4 pickup at American Toyota.

Sunday, my birthday. I turned 28. I decided to check the paper again just in case there were any new ads. There was one for a 4WD Datsun King Cab - $2,650. I called the number and got an answering machine. The guy said leave a message or call his pager, and gave the number. I decided to not page him and just left a message. A couple of hours later he called back and said that a few people had left messages before me but i was the first guy he got ahold of, so he'd give me first look at it. He was an auto wholesaler and was having the truck tuned up, inspected, and detailed.

My parents called in the morning, then Marty & Deb had cake and a present for me at lunch (CD: Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth), then i cleaned my room, then Nancy Nicholson called, then i played ultimate, then my sister Sarah called, then my sister Caroline called, then my brother Jason called, then Linda Jarmulowicz called. I watched a little of "Revenge On The Highway" on TV that evening. I wasn't in it, and it was really really bad. Coincidence?

Worked. At lunch i went to the auto wholesaler's house to look at the Datsun pickup, as he'd just gotten it back from the detailers. He gave me the keys and i took it for a spin. Felt good. He told me that since he talked to me he'd had about 30 calls for it but he said that he would still give me first look at it. I guess it was meant to be. I asked him if he was stuck on $2,650 and he said that if i wrote him a check for $2,500 he'd take it. I wrote him a check. Later that evening i biked over to his house and picked up my new truck.

Checked out camper shells at lunch. Deb and i watched "Alan & Naomi" on video that evening.

Worked late moving my desk at work so that they could plaster over a door behind it. The door went into the owner George Subia's office and he chain-smoked in there and i could usually smell the fumes at my desk, so i was very happy to have them seal it off.

Drove out east Central Ave. to look at camper shells. Stopped at Natural Sound but didn't buy anything. Had dinner at East Ocean, then went down to the 66 Diner to watch Chuck, Deb, and Zoom play some songs.
