    So. Here we are. First update on health. The myeloma is in remission. N̈o indications to how long, but I'll take what I can get. Still on chemo forever... Found out several issues I was having were side effects of a med I was taking for unrelated issue. BP med (carbetalog) was causing 5 different problem. Pharmacy ran out so I missed 3 days and got immensely better. Still dealing with neuropathy and struggle to walk some days, along with sketchy eye sight. BUT I'm alive and a bit better....
    The Tacoma is still going strong. 220,000 miles and fresh as a daisy. No more topper,window stickers gone, but it will go off road again...soon.
    We found out my step daughter took an intentional overdose of pain meds. Sandy was devastated when she found out. The past 4-1/2 years has been toʻugh.20240627_095833.jpg 20240705_194251_008.jpg

    Gotta get a few pics of the Tacoma. I removed the topper, scraped off 26 stickers from the rear window, re-applied the ceramic paint sealer, and removed a wheel barrow full of junk from the back seat.

    Approaching 14 years from build date, 10 years from when ì bought it, and soon 210,000 miles. Looks new , runs like new, and still my all time favorite ride. We sold the FJ Cruiser, but the Taco Truck stays. Sandy loves driving it as much as I do.

    I didn't know you sold FJ cruiser, I would like to buy it if I knew you were selling it.

    I hope you are doing well.
