Gary’s post: Well, we’re now the proud owners of a Volvo EX30 EV. This thing is a computer on wheels and it’s definitely going to challenge me to remember everything it can do and use the features effectively. Fun little SUV for running around town instead of using our big cars. And for Wendy to commute to work. Gets good mileage on a charge and we managed to get the $7500 EV rebate as we’re leasing it. And NM will give us a $3000 tax rebate next year, so all in all, made sense. While gas is MUCH cheaper here than in Washington, we’re 20 miles from Albuquerque, so using this to run up to ABQ and run around Los Lunas make sense.
It’s my Granddaughters birthday today. She’s officially two (she’s a leap baby). Since we’re not there to celebrate, we’ll video call her. Wendy and I miss her and Lucas. While we didn’t see them a lot, when we did it was pretty special and made us feel wonderful. I do wish they were closer, but now that we’re here in New Mexico, I think when they visit it will even be more special.
Lots to do today. I MUST get a yard hydrant sock to keep the darn water hydrant from freezing in the morning. Giant pain in the arse. I have to take Wendy’s hair dryer out and heat it up until it starts running again. Makes the mornings interesting. We need to make a Costco run, start our taxes, I have to help Jaret pick up his motorcycle for Utah. Just a lot of stuff to do. And I think we’re going to unload the “wherehouse” to find our stuff on Sunday.
Okay, time to get moving. Everyone reading this, have a great day and remember to spend time with your loved ones.
Later!
