Hi-Yo Silver

him guest writing for her:

We recently got a new vehicle. We had been looking for a new van for some time. In January, we would have been to big as a family to fit in one car. Our Honda van has six seats, and the back four chairs have been full for sometime now.

I've been talking about this for years, and I am really excited that we finally achieved this milestone. We've got a new to us Ford Econoline 350 Super Wagon. It is Silver in color, and even has running boards. Now we have got six empty seats (at least until January).

For those of you who don't know that's a van on top of a 1 ton truck chasis. It's got a big ole 5.6L engine. I plan to set something up in the desert like Ford does on their commercials. You know speed past some steel doors that slam together and then stop before running off into the Grand Canyon or something (the kids will love it).

Anyway, Joi thought we should name this thing, so we've batted a few names around. We are kind of stuck on Excalibur, but that's not real easy to get out there. Feel free to give us some suggestions. Here's a pic of us all with the new van. I know it's not real impressive because you don't see her girth, but believe me... she's huge.
