First Mate, Indeed

Do you want to know about one of the many things I love about my wife? Do you know what she did after she read my blog post about the minivan getting a bit low in the water the other day? Rather than say, “well, that’s it. We’re selling the boat,” she went online to go truck shopping! A woman who’ll choose a vehicle just to tow a boat is my kind of woman. Woohoo!

What’s funny is that we were amused when our neighbors bought a truck for their boat. Now is seems strangely normal.

It remains to be seen whether we’ll actually get a truck, though. If we get one big enough to pull the boat (and a mobile home, bus, elephant, and whatever we want to haul), I can’t bring myself to run it on anything other than biodiesel. On the other hand, the import trucks have better fuel economy for gas engines but may not be big enough to make much of a difference at the boat ramp.

Decisions, decisions…
