The Big Blue Truck

This is the Big Blue Truck (BBT) ... it is getting alittle old! In fact we had a scare this week --- it would not start --- Franky was quite concerned (he kept asking me ... "what is wrong with the BBT). We got it started and then he kept asking "How did you fix the BBT".

Well it is back in busines -- as you can see from this picure - Isabella does not exactly like the BBT - she thinks it smells. Whenever I say ... "we're taking the BBT", she whines and says "do we have to .. it smells". Though she does like riding around with the Tunes cranking and her and Franky singing in the back.

Well I kinda love the thing ... it has been great for us:

1. Leave it at the beach house all summer - filled with beach gear.
2. Take it to the Patriots in the fall - filled with tailgating gear.
3. I call it the shed since it is great for storage - in fact I had some used furniture Liz bought at a flea market stored in it this week.
4. Tow boat/jet ski
5. Leave it at airport when traveling - no need to worry about those little dings
6. Moving building materials - when I moved I had the thing almost hitting the ground with cobblestones.
7. Used it to move to new house - many many trips

So the big issue -- do I replace it as it gets older or keep it ... I am kind of attached to it.
