Only 90 days till the wedding. We’re in the crunch now baby.. Ya. Plans still coming along. Hopefully Shannon and I can finally buckle down and get things ironed out and put in stone this week. I don’t even want to think about it after July 1st. I want it all planned. (ya right).

Shannon and I just had an awesome weekend. As many of you know, Jim_ from 2cpu has recently moved down the the St. Catherine’s area, and our online friendship has developed into a pretty good real life one. Not to mention his girlfriend Alicia (who is a sweet heart IMO) and Shannon have gotten off famously. Very scary in Jim and my opinion. Two girls, get along super great, who have a great deal in common,  both love shopping. Not a good combo.

This weekend, to add to the mix, a Erle, from IRC (AKA Duke), who I’ve been wanting to meet for ages made the 6 hour commute south from Ottawa to visit us all. I don’t think I’ve been this sore from laughing since college. Jim and Erle go way back (in real life too, not just IRC).  The 5 of us got along like lifelong friends, not like people who have basically just met. I wish we all lived closer so we could get together much much more often. Thanks a lot for a great time guys, it was a blast. Erle, you’re as cool in person as you are on IRC.. It was a pleasure to finally get together.  

Bug updates: we’ve hit a snag. A medium sized one. While reconstructing the front corner, we assumed that the people who fixed it up before did it right, and made it all straight, and all we would need to do is patch the holes and strengthen the metal. WRONG. Butcher job. We put the fenders on, and one side was close to dead on, whereas the other side was very crooked looking. Alex has decided to cut the part of his donor beetle and weld it in instead of trying to straighten the butcher job the the guys before us did. We can deal with imperfection and we know this isn’t going to be 100% dead on, but we do have limits to how far out of spec we will go. This is way to far out. Hopefully we can have it put in by next weekend, and the very last of the welding done. I know I’ve said that for the past few weeks, but rain, baseball and family commitments have hindered progress. Looks like now weather may actually be warming  up to summer temps, and we may get some work done in the evenings too, not just 4-5 hours each weekend. Here’s hoping !!!!
