First, this is my new... er, used... Jeep.  I wrote about the whole story in this entry and this entry so I'll spare everyone the details again here - I just figured I'd show off what I ended up with.  Nice, eh?  It's not so great on gas, but the ride is smooth and there's lots of room - even enough for me to stow my bike in the back**!  Roadtrip, anyone?!?

I also thought I'd post a picture of what I'm looking like these days:

It seems I'm in the process of growing a beard.  It started mostly out of laziness but then there was enough hair there that to shave it would be a bigger project than I was ready for.  Now I'm growing it to see what it will look like... and I'm NOT loving it.  It's TOO itchy!  Anyway, this is what it looks like after about two weeks of growth.  My mustache isn't entirely even and I've got some random hairs growing at different lengths, but I'm getting a few compliments, too... I guess that's what's keeping me going.  I don't know how much longer I'll let it go, maybe another couple of weeks.  I'll try to remember to post pictures on here and I welcome feedback - should I keep it or shave it?

Anyway, it's getting late and that's all I planned to post.  Until next time...
