Well, it’s the middle of November and I think we completely missed Autumn this year. Weather was pretty nice right up til late October when we left for Florida. Came home last week to a nice blanket of snow.
With the pending trip coming up, I gave the beetle a good scrub, put her on the dollies, tossed the cover on and pushed it into it’s winter resting place. Hopefully have some “warmer” days over the winter to do some upgrades so I can finally get a summer worth of driving out of the old girl in 2020. Sleeping beside her is the Triumph. I have tentativly put the bike for sale so bank some money this winter, but slow time of year makes me suspect that it won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. I’ll just leave it for sale and see what happens. The Wrx is nearly “complete” for this year. Still hoping to install the tail light overlays and finish the stereo but time and ambition seems to keep getting in the way. And now the clutch seems to be having some issues. Towed to Smouts today. Hoping for an easy/inexpensive fix, but with my luck – expecting the worst. Lastly the Jeep is just being Jeepy. Hard top is on. Winter tires go on this week.
Work has been ridiculous. Seems like every time I feel caught up, I get slammed with another 30-40 work orders. I guess that’s a good thing. Job security and all that jazz. Speaking of work, Shannon has taken a new job! She officially left Norfolk County and took a job back with Haldimand County. Shorter commute, more responsibility, more money and hopefully more stability. Congrats baby, you are gonna be amazing, just like always. Haldimand is lucky to have you!
Today is the 1 year anniversary with Jabba the Mutt. Silly little stinker is a fantastic beast in every sense. Makes us laugh every single day. Love you my puppers.
Finally : Florida. No ambition for a day by day break down, but I will say we had an amazing time. Just shy of two weeks at Floridays Resort with Mom and Dad while Donna and Grant stayed with their kiddos on Disney property. Weather was great and the parks were phenomenal. The new “Star Wars Land” was a dream my 5 year old self couldn’t even have imagined. *I* got to fly the Millennium Falcon. Words can’t describe! Add to that exploring Batuu (star wars land) and the Harry Potter worlds at Universal Studios with the kiddos and it just doesn’t get any better! Joe built is very own astro-mech droid and Abby was selected (eventually) to select her wand. Thanks Mom and Dad for being such great room mates and being the best gUber drivers ever!
