Final result of all the bills resolved. Less than $200 left until payday. However, all the bills are paid, most of a tank of gas and lots of food in the house.
The mention of most of a tank of gas actually means something now. The MX3 burns 1/3 of the gas or less than the truck did. So I can pretty much drive all weekend on one tank. Specs say it has a 13 gal tank but I haven't let it get to under 1/2 tank. Won't do that without a gas can in the car to see how accurate the gauge is. Last few vehicles have had fuel gauge malfunctions, so I'm cautious. But with that capacity, it can go 300 miles on one tank. (That's cool! Means when we drive to Co Springs I only have to fill up one time each direction!)
Talked with daughter this weekend. She didn't like the idea of camping, so that idea is out. Mostly afraid of bugs. Don't blame her. I still plan on getting a tent and sleeping bags someday and taking her camping. Not right now, though. I'm happy to see camping equipment has come down in price. For now, we'll stick with hotels. Later, I'll show her that tents have screens and we can use citronella to keep bugs out of the tent plus bug repellent on ourselves.
