Fond Farewell

Today we said goodbye to ol' blue! We are very grateful that it got us up here in one piece and even stuck around to enjoy the scenery for a bit. The time, however, has come to just walk away.

About 2 weeks ago, Darold went mountain biking at Laguna Seca with a couple friends and was on his way home.....many times. The poor car had decided that it had gone far enough without a break. So it decided to make several breaks. Fortunately, they were on a road that Darold was able to pull over far enough not to get himself or the car hit. At that point we realized that ol' blue was due for retirement where it could donate part of itself to newer, younger cars so they can go on living for a bit more.

Thank you ol' blue for getting us to where we needed to go...even if it took a bit longer at the end. You'll be missed....a little.
