Nice to know. I'm considering it for my next vehicle purchase, which probably won't be for another 2 years. Not sure if I want a Pilot or something a little smaller like the CR-V.

I was curious so I looked it up.
305 hp, 264 lb ft of torque.
More HP than the V8s in either my Dakota or my Mustang.
Both V8s have an extra helping of torque though, like 50 more so you feel the grunt.

Change date to the Friday needed.
Calendar runs Friday to Thursday.
My MG might make close to its advertised 98 hp. It weighs half of what the Volvo weighs. It gets 18 mpg on the freeway when it's in good tune. We've come a long way.

RL Kid is on his way to school. I wish I could go back to bed.
Good morning, one and all!
We're having company today, and I'll be cooking dinner for the four of us. I'm planning grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts, marinated in brown sugar barbeque sauce. I've already made carrot raisin salad, and have started on the Sunshine Potato Salad.
It has quartered red new potatoes (the little round ones), fresh green beans, chopped yellow bell pepper and red onion, and a tarragon vinegar dressing with garlic and oregano.
Maybe some applesauce as a side dish. I hope they like it....

We like this potato salad either warm or cold, but prefer warm. I make the dressing and prepare all the veggies before cooking the potatoes. Then I'm ready to mix everything as soon as the potatoes are ready, and serve warm.
I'd like to take credit for this recipe, but I can't. I got it out of a Betty Crocker book, years ago.
If you should decide to try it, let me know what you think....

Got mom settled into her new retirement community/ nursing home thingy yesterday. The place is very nice and doesn't smell, it's like a hotel. They have different areas for different levels of care, they have a big cafeteria and also smaller ones, you can buy a lunch of dinner ticket and eat with the resident. She knows a few people who live there. She's still hoping her vision improves and she gets to go home, but it doesn't seem likely.
Glad to hear that she's okay, and that the transition was relatively smooth....
They're sucking you in!
New owners for the house next door finished moving in this weekend. The previous owners built the neighborhood - literally. Their two sons built every house in the area, with ours being the last one. We loved them dearly and were so sad when they passed.
The new couple seem like wonderful people - older retired couple who moved up here from Santa Cruz to be close to their grandchildren. They've already had our girls over to play while the grandchildren were there. Emma baked them blueberry muffins and took them over when they first started moving in. I love living in a friendly neighborhood and these people will fit right in!

I went to an Episcopal school in 5th grade. The teachers in our public school in the 5th grade were both kind of awful - one incredibly strict (to the point of corporal punishment, which he could still get away with then) and the other so lax his class was just a party. So my parents threw in the towel and sent me to Oregon Episcopal School instead. I enjoyed it - made good friends, loved the chapel classes (it's where I learned the Apostle's Creed!). At the time the church on campus was also the local cathedral, so special services were full of pomp and I got to participate in the Advent service as the lower school's reader (Isaiah).
Anyway, the priest, Father Paul, was awesome and did an amazing blessing of the animals for the school - it's a fond memory, for sure! The local paper covered the ceremony and I actually was in the picture - my first brush with celebrity.
At the end of the year my parents asked me if I wanted to continue at OES or go back to the public school; I chose public school, as that's where my neighborhood friends all went. Good thing - my 6th grade teacher was probably the best one I ever had. He's still a friend on Facebook.
I like it! What time is dinner?
It sounds really good, apart from the green beans, which I could put up with.
Can you be here by 5:30?
