Tomorrow night at this time...

...Harrison will have a new home. A co-worker's brother is buying him.

I certainly didn't expect this. I feel strange, happy and a little funny at the same time. It's the best thing. I don't *need* two vehicles, and Harrison the working truck will be a working truck again.

I'm an idiot. I know.

I remember welling up as I moved out of a home I desperately wanted to leave. Attachment's funny that way.

The guy who's buying Harrison is a mechanic who will use him for work. Harrison started clattering right after he started him, the same noise I heard on Saturday. I remarked about it, and the guy shrugged. "Catalytic converter," he said. "It's nothing." Nothing for him, because he can fix it himself. I'd be looking at another repair bill six months after the lower intake gasket episode.

That's what I wanted to avoid, the $$$ repair every six months.

But still. My Blue Boy.

Yeah. Often it seems the smart decisions are the ones that are more painful, even if they're saving trouble in the long run.

Congratulations. And sympathies.

Awww. But at least the blue boy will be going to someone who can love him and feed him and take good care of him.

Will the new owner be calling him Harrison?

I kinda doubt this man names his vehicles.

I took a little time this morning to clean out Harrison's cab, the glove compartment. Not much stuff, but I tried not to junk him up too much.

Kuro is quite a different matter. That car needs a good cleaning...
