Angel Last Episode

When was that?…about 2005 ago? Well I just finished watching it today and pretty impressed about it.
I used to watch the series back then but when they started doing the reruns right after Charm I happened to get a glimpse of the last few episodes and got sucked in until the last Angel episode where they all die. (or did they?)
Anyways, it was a good show. The last few that I seen though.

do over on my desk clutter

I decided to do something on my desk clutter. All those bills, statements, magazines that i haven’t read, notes, and all other scrap of paper i can’t throw away but procrastinating on working on-i dumped it on 1 box and will sort them out one by one! with the intention of actually putting it away by filing or just dumping it in the garbage.

Our Results from clunkers program

I took some notes on gas and milage on my wife’s new car and here it is. It’s really a big difference compared to the 12 mpg Denali!

8/16 8.702g 510m
8/22 9.25g 764m
8/24 7.995g 1031m

764-510=254m divide 254miles with 9.25gallon which equals 27
1031-764=267m divide 267 miles with 7.995g equals 33

So if I calculated this right we have a 27mpg on city and 33mpg on highway!
Oh what a relief!

-11/7/09- on a side note, I was just doing some home filing and noticed that we actually drove the Expedition in around 55,000 miles
