thanks Nixxy...

Basically I made a deal last night to buy a black 2005 Toyota Tundra crew cab with a 4.7 V8. I am a VERY, VERY happy guy right now. Between my 9 1/2 foot surfboards, the tikis, fishing & camping stuff, etc... this whole SUV deal just doesn't work for me. I've really missed having a real truck.

The last few years I have been limited to local driving, as I just didn't trust my vehicle to make long trips without crapping out. Now I can go surfing whenever I want without having to rely on rides from other people. I want put a locking toolbox in it, and that way I can roll around with a basic set of tiki tools & a small chainsaw. I'm always seeing dead palms, and if I was always equipped to take 'em down & sort 'em out on the spot, I'd have a lot more future tikis laying around. This makes my life better all the way around...I just want to go around hugging people right now.

I take possession of her on Friday. So, I need to bust a few serious tikis out, because in the next few weekends I plan to get some packing blankets from U-haul, fill the bed with tikis, and hit every damned beach-themed place from Clearwater to Sarasota and try to get my name & some of my stuff out there.
