Tacomas are just rock solid. First one I owned, may have posted a representative photo in this very thread, was a 1981 SR-5 model. Easy to work on.
Mrs. AZ's current DD is a 2008 Tacoma in the Pre-Runner edition. V-6 engine. Only 165K-miles! Runs like a dream. It's actually coming up for an oil change soon.

Yeah, sounds like a German/Swiss! Actually, I am quite organized myself except I am still in the working age / working (okay, jobless right now but...) plus I don't see why I should put effort into my yard when hardly anyone ever sees the property.
"ToyotaThon": Can't go wrong on Toyota! I thought about getting a Tacoma once for carrying occasional bales of hay but then I learned to stuff a giant bale of hay into my tiny hatch back Toyota Yaris.

Speaking of "squared away", need to duck out for a bit now. Saw a couple things that need to be touched up when I was outside with the cat earlier.

Used to drive by Lee Majors' house in Eastern Kentucky quite often.
A quiet man who stays to himself. Unpretentious. A very decent human being.
Should find the old letter my grandfather wrote, listing all the families I am related to in that area to see if I may be distant cousin to the Six Million Dollar Man.
The answer is unlikely.

Baseball playoffs are underway. Currently in the wildcard round. SD-CHC split a pair so far as have DET-CLE.
Going to watch the Red Sox-Yankees here in a bit. Game already in progress. Amazing how far the Yankees have fallen.

Yankees?
Look at my Detroit Tigers!
Series is tied, 1-1.
My grandfather used to be in the Detroit Tigers farm system back in the 1940s.
He and I attended some ten or more opening days at the old Tigers stadium.
When I worked at the City of Detroit Human Rights Department (that's another story) I got to inspect the lumber yard next to Tiger's stadium.
Asked the owner if he ever caught a home run over the stadium. He smiled and opened the bottom drawer of his desk, showing a half a dozen baseballs over the years.

Billy Martin was involved in a well-known 1969 incident at the Lindell A.C. bar in Detroit with Twins pitcher Dave Boswell, which ended in Martin beating up Boswell after a confrontation outside the bar. The Lindell A.C. was a blue-collar Detroit bar known as a gathering place for athletes and considered by some to be America's original sports bar.

LOL, every opening day, Grandpa and I will sit in this bar, waiting for something to happen.
Remembering Detroit’s Original Sports Bar: The Lindell AC
The days when athletes used to frequent local sports bars and mingle with the fans stopped some time ago, and definitely came to an end when the Lindell AC Bar on Cass Avenue, truly one of America’s first true “sports bars” closed its doors. It was Detroit’s version of Toot Shor’s in New York...

Last week code enforcement officer pulled up to look at my lawn I didn't give a shit this year.
He looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders and pointed at the lot nextdoor.
Next day the city of Nowata was mowing the lot. Worker told me the town was issued the citation. LOL!
