Gas Mileage Progress and more interesting findings
Its been some time since I posted on my progress with gaining more mpg from my old truck. I wanted to see if the hydrogen fuel cell would be reliable and low maintenance. It is reliable but I had to make modifications to it to keep the cell clean. So far its holding the gas mileage slightly above 17mpg. Since the truck started just above 8 I am happy with a reliable doubling of my gas mileage. I know 17 plus doesn’t sound impressive but consider the truck has a modified 66 Corvette engine and weights 4700 lbs, that’s more than most new trucks.

Subject: A good word about Pasitos Felices
Our 4 year old daughter is finishing her 2nd month at Pasitos Felices and we are very happy with it.
We enrolled her at Pasitos Felices after her well-loved daycare provider (where our daughter had been since she was about 18 months old) closed her doors at the end of May. We were sad and somewhat nervous about making the transition. When we begin looking into Pasitos Felices we were primarily interested in the Spanish immersion aspect of the daycare.
