Comments: G + M suprised us when they arrived in the new "cuuh-mobile," their brand new 2010 white Toyota Sienna LE!! They had only driven it home Thursday night from the dealership, so the cuuh hunting expedition served as "shakedown cruise." They got the Kia (old c-mobile) officially declared a clunker, which pretty much describes their feelings about it for the past couple years due to some very expensive repairs and other issues.
Didn't get a picture of the new ride, but here is a download of a very similar van:
What a fun day we had riding around in such a marvelous new c-moble!!
We went to quite a few sales but didn't wind up buying a whole lot, although G +M almost filled the c-m and Mick had to go back with his pickup later to collect a washing machine, swamp cooler, ionizer, couple of fans, a table...obviously, it was a day they found lots of desirable cuuh!

Joe scored the buy of the day with this fan, which the seller claimed didn't work, for 25 cents. He brought it home, plugged it in, adjusted the temperature dial, and it worked perfectly!!! We had a similar experience in june 2007 (click here for the details) when he got a very nice fan free from another seller who thought he had a broken fan. Again, it was just the thermostat that needed adjusting....and we've used that fan every summer since we got it!!
Treat Time: 5 out of 6
Here are 5 out of our 6 enjoying a round of cat treats. They all love these things!! Rita wasn't to be found, despite lots of calling for her, so she missed the party. Note: about 0:28 (countdown timer) Diesel steals Felix's treat!
