At least it will be warmer inside the rink vs the delightful weather on the way.

Saw the weather forecast for the end of the week. Highs of 7,8,9? Ouch. Not ready for that! Haha! It's going to be 83 here tomorrow. Few more weeks and I'll be there having to buy winter clothes :S also, anyone know of a 4x4 for pretty cheap? I'm keeping an eye on craigslist, looking for around $2000 range. Don't really care about looks just as long as it runs and has a heater and decent tread on the tires.

That's a pretty tough budget for a 4x4 here in MN, not saying impossible but you may need to up that a few K. If you just want a winter beater and don't need a 4x4 then 2-3k has lots of options.

Went to REI today, and realized how evil that place is for the wallet. I didn't buy anything, but I mysteriously wanted to spend thousands on useless ish.

I think Brandon's team is being picked off by assassins. They're losing players to injuries every game. Lost a few players in the past week due to opponents taking them out. One kid got ejected tonight. Parents are the worst.

So apparently I'm supposed to be in the market for a decent sedan or 4-seater within the next couple of years. Having 1 family vehicle to shuttle people around to different events is getting old and harder each year.

Whatever I get, it will have to last a few years for my boys to start driving. Momma wants a manual trans in the next car. At least I have time to shop. Who knows? I may have something by next winter.

Well, I may have to get something "fancy" since my oldest boy really wants to go to Eastview HS.
