This is the new addition to the property. It has been nicknamed "Rosie" because from the front it reminds you of Rosie the Robot on the Jetsons cartoon. She arrived here over last weekend and I had to do some puttzing on the electrical system. The turn signal switch was broken so I replaced that with one I got from the junk yard. It was an interesting time figuring out the electrical system on her but I did manage to get it done. We are going to be using her to run for parts and to get our paint, tools, etc from one end of the property to the other here. Yesterday I took her over to the parts store just a few blocks from here and had a guy offer to buy her from me right there on the spot. He was a little disappointed when I told him she was not for sale.
It is amazing how many looks you get going down the road. For most people it is like they cannot believe their eyes :) She is a lot of fun driving and will do 60 mph with no trouble at all. I had to put gas in her and to fill the tank is $10.00, I do not know what sort of mileage she will get but it can't be to bad. I think the thing that really amazes me about this vehicle is how stable it is. I was concerned that it would want to tip when you took a corner but it is rock solid. However when you hit a bump in the road you really know it.
I have no doubt that she is a good investment for this place.

Oh, the laughs you just got from me and Sean as we envisioned you zooming 60 mph down the highway. I know that you don't drive it on the highway, but that's all that we could picture. Do you have to lean over to fit in it? It doesn't seem like it's tall enough for you to fit into.
Love you.
