Mid 90's or so. It was relatively new but an outdated model the day I bought it.

I have 3 keys on my keychain.One fits the house/basement, the other two are the trucks.
My last home decorating project was my changing a few things here in the past several months. Put pretty drapes and sheers in my room (took the blinds down), put some prett(ier) shower curtains up and got some indoor plants.
Pigs in a blanket, sounds like I know what to make tomorrow night for supper.
