Exciting Times Continue

Things are settling down nicely here at Club Josh. After a month or so of stress over a project I was working on at work, it is finally done and presented. The past few months, I was in the Emerging Leader program at Disneyland which is a way that the resort trains its new Managers. It is a very challenging and rewarding program and I am happy that I was not only selected, but completed it successfully. I know I owe a lot of people for their support and feedback over the years.

The next month or so will be exciting times. Daniel, Tiffany, Tyger, and I will be participating in Minnie's Moonlight Madness - a charity benefit scavenger hunt throughout the park this month. Also, Charo is having a mini-CD release party sometime near the 22nd - no details yet, but it might be my first adventure to Casa Charo!

I also find out what is next for me at work sometime that week as well, so it will be nice to know where I am going and what I am doing for the summer and beyond.

In car news, I am still loving the new CR-V. I like the sound it makes when accelerating and the new car smell overpowers any food items that I have to transport in it. Still haven't eaten in the car yet, we will see how long that it lasts!

First Night with the New CR-V

My hand was forced, and after much deliberation, I finally decided to part ways with my much-loved 2002 CR-V and upgrade to a new 2008 CR-V. As much as I wanted to upgrade to the EX, I stuck with the LX since I decided I didn't need the extra fluff. (They do have an outside temperature guage on the EX - probably the only thing I really missed out on getting) It still feels like my old CR-V, but definitely quieter on the road and I really like the new instrument cluster.

Some of the styling cues are a bit questionable, but overall I am happy. Some minuses? Less storage space than my 2002 - fewer nooks under the center stack, and no netting on the driver and passenger seat backs. The relocation of the parking break and the transmission lever will take a bit getting used to, but overall I prefer the new design. I was worried that the new transmission location would interfere with my leg, but after driving home and running some errands, I can report all is well.

I no longer have to rely on a tape player for my iPod, but I will now have to go out and get a direct cable since it has an auxiliary plug as well as a iPod nook next to it. I also lost my change drawer and come to think of it, I left the change in my old CR-V!! Oh well. I already want to get a new dash cover - I really liked my old one. The debate still rages on whether or not to get a cargo cover.

Just some first night impressions. I am also glad I didn't get Glacier Blue. I went for the Royal Blue Pearl which is a dark blue, but I think it looks classier on the road.

A New Car - 2008 Version!

A New Car!
Originally uploaded by Club Josh.

After six years of reliable service, I upgraded my CR-V to a 2008 model. Here is to six more fun years. I just hope this one is as much fun and I enjoy it as much as my beloved 2002.

More later...
