HAL Turns 8

So yeah.... I missed Hals 8th birthday....  On April 26, 2003, I got rid of Black Magic...aka... POS... and made the best car purchase ever!!!!

Cannot believe its been 8 years....  202500 miles.... Amazing. 

202020

Continuing the slow climb to 205,000....

Slow week....and one number short

Its been a slow week or two for Hal as I've been spending most of my time in a work vehicle. 1700 miles worth of work vehicle road time since April 10th...

Anyways...here's a shot from my way to work this morning....got nine different numbers between the mileage and trip indicator.  Still shooting for all ten digits.  

Two oh One, One oh Two

As I'm pretty sure you guessed by now... I'm probably not going to stop with the dorky odometer photos. Someday, I might actually take a picture of HAL so you can see that he still looks pretty much identical to all those other photos I've taken of him. The second picture above is the last known photo of HAL not covered in snow. It was taken while I was staffing the World Equestrian Games in Lexington in September 2010. Not really an exciting photo..but one that made HAL proud to be at such a big event...getting a special parking permit to hang with law enforcement cruisers all day.

So...I hit 201,102 this morning on the way to work. So yeah...I'm cruising along at about 150 miles per day. Am trying to keep my eye on the odometer to see if I can catch it showing all ten of the digits 0 through 9 (6 mileage, 4 trip tick). That should be fun and interesting....

Anyhoo...no weird stats today honestly...HAL's 8th Birthday is coming up in a could of weeks. I'm thinking about taking him to the car wash :)
