New Car

I bought a 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X Premium yesterday. I wish the color was a bit darker but I wanted to stick with the model with manual transmission.

It is nice to have a car with functioning windows and doors! And all the other nice features that newer cars have.

A quick picture from our porch this morning:

Selling Stuff

I’m selling my 8″ Dobsonian telescope. I’ll probably be asking about $150 and might make it $100 if any friends are interested. It is a great telescope if you have an SUV to haul it around in. It’s about 4 feet tall and the base is very bulky. That’s the downside of a telescope that gathers that much light for that price. I’ll just be using a set of 15×70 binoculars for the 2-3 times a year that I actually look at stars (worked great last weekend).

I’ll probably sell my 15″ Macbook Pro. I just bought one of the new aluminum Macbooks and really don’t need two machines (rather, my iPhone has become my second machine).

Also selling my car (in order to buy a new/newer one). I will probably sell my motorcycle, too. I didn’t ride for a couple years and really felt like getting back into it. But I just don’t ride it enough. Part of that is the bike (not as fun as I thought it would be) and part of that is simply having a million other things to do.

Car

My car was broken into yesterday. They smashed the rear passenger window and looked through the glove compartment. Apparently they don’t like emo rock and ambient music because they didn’t seem to take anything. It cost a couple hundred dollars to fix the window.

I can’t wait to sell my car.
