Been a while since an update, and I have a bunch of them!
First off, congratulations to Foxxxy and Melissa! The two were wed last Friday at an outdoor service. Shannon and I had an awesome night. Lots of good friends, and even more laughs. Hope you guys are as happy as Shannon and I are. Pictures are HERE.
Two new vehicles in the garage! Well, newish, and one is actually ‘back’ in the garage. First, I picked up my old dirt bike from my Uncle Buddies house. Its a 1982 Honda XR80. Needs a bit of work, but Kevin and I were able to get it up and running in about 20 minutes. I need a new front tire, as it seems to keep going flat on me. Hopefully that will be replaced soon. I have a huge field next to the house just beggin to be torn up. HERE are a couple pics of the old gal.
Also, Alex had a spare lawn mower laying around which he was so kind as to donate to me. After trying to cut the grass with it for the first time, I realized it needed to be lowered 🙂 Purely for function though, not just cause I like lowering stuff. It was only fanning the grass when I started. Couple cranks of my wrench, and the mower was slammed and cutting lots of green 🙂 Thanks Alex!
Speaking of the garage 🙂 . Today marks 1 complete year with my MINI CooperS. It has been one hell of a fun ride, I will say that. Only a couple issues with the car; ABS sensor went about a month after I got the car, cracked windshield a week after I got the car (being replaced this Monday), and a ding in the rear quarter panel the day after I got it. Other then the first month, it has been pretty much problem free. (Touch wood!) During the first year, I was able to do quite a bit of modding. Many go fast parts have been installed, and also some stuff to help me handle and stop better too! I am by no means done with the modding, but I was lucky to get so much done in the first year. Hopefully next year will be even better! 1 year, and 50,000kms down, and a whole bunch more to go!
Lastly I have a handful of galleries to add to the site from the past couple months.
