Tracfone #2, Taurus didn't start, and new tricks

Now that we have opened up the money in the bank again we went ahead and ordered another Tracfone. I would have liked it the other day when the car died. I had it overnighted so we can get it before our trip.

I got the same deal as before: 100 minute card + refurbished phone for $30. Plus the $15 for overight and taxes comes to about $48. Then if I use the other account to refer this account i will get another 100 minutes for each phone.
So:
Phone: Free (at least $30 new in the store with 20min card)
100 card: $30
20 units for signing up online: @$10
100 card: Free from referal for the new phone. (reg $30)
100 card: Free from referal for the old phone. (reg $30)
Possibly 2 more 40 cards from the coupon books: $20 each.

So it's at least $130 worth of stuff, and maybe more for @$48 with shipping.


The car
The car didnt start last night so we have to tow it to a garage. :o( We will see if a new used car is a better buy than fixing this puppy.

Skatepark
I hit the grind box today and relized that I can do Krooked Grinds and front side 5-0's but just can't land them yet. Another fun thing I did was to hit all the elements in the park with out falling or using my feet or hands to push. I started off pushing(maybe tomorrow I'll try to start by dropping in. I pushed to the picnic table, hit a backside boardslide. Turned to the flat bar did a small frontside slide. Ollied onto the grind box. road of to hit a frontside slide on the bench. Did a hairpin turn and tic-tac'd to get some speed and hit the jump ramp. i took a sharp right and taced over to the spine ramp. I pumped both sides and then road to the other side, pumped those and angled off to the mini. Pumped both walls and headed to the funBox bank. Off the bank and hit the mini-ramp bank. From there i hit the round rail with a board slide and curved around to ollie onto the bench of the wooden table that somebody hauled into the park.
