I finally got some decent photos of the thing (if you consider cellphone pics decent)…
Yep- Another totally stock 2006 LX150 despite the plenty of photos of totally stock 150s out there. (Yes, I originally said it was an ’05, but my registration says ’06 and who am I to argue?)…
Not my favorite color, but the price could not be beat. If I can add a smoke-colored windscreen and replace the seat with a black one soon, she’ll be perfect!

In a previous post, I promised I would post pics of the new place. (That’s a lotta Ps!). Not that I didn’t take plenty of photos pre-move in, but you may have noticed that I just don’t have much time to blog these days.
I’m taking a few minutes of my employer’s time and high speed internet to finally get a few photos on here, taken before I moved anything into it.
Stay tuned for what happens when you actually put stuff in it! (And no- I don’t know why pics that auto-rotate on the Mac un-rotate in a web browser)
Im all moved into the new place finally. Well sort of…
Skipping the last seven weeks (you read them in previous posts), yesterday my friend and made the treacherous trek you’ve become so famiar with if you follow me on the Twitter. Only this time I was in the MINI and he drove a loaded to the gills, 14-foot rental truck. Somehow we managed to make it up in only 6 hours!
At our average rate of speed, gas mileage went to all hell. As the guy footing the bill, I was more concerned with time than any other detail. That and my car not falling apart. Again. another tale for another post.
Upon arrival we unloaded the truck as efficiently as possible. I am now fully moved into my new place. If stacks of unlabeled boxes and crates counts as moved in. And so begins the transformation from a two-bedroom storage unit, to a swank, swinging, bachelor pad! Soon. I promise.
