Well it’s been almost two months since my last post. 3 If you skip the little update ones. Anyways, Merry belated Christmas. Once again, everything was excellent this year. Lots of being spoiled. Lots of food. And most importantly lots of time with family and friends.
Our kids are getting huge. Pretty sure Abby is ready for college and Joe is about to graduate highschool. Maybe not THAT far along, but sure feels like it. Abby is more and more of a big girl every day. She completed (with some major pushing) her figure skating lessons, and now enrolled in some night activities with her Mom and other kids. Joe is a non stop ball of fire. Kid doesn’t sit still. Crawling everywhere, and now starting to ‘walk’ around furniture and such. Won’t be long till he starts chasing his sister on foot.
Speaking of kids.. I have to congratulate my sister Donna, and her husband Grant on the addition of their beautiful baby girl. Reese Donna Mabel. A couple little hiccups when she came out, but all is well now. Growing stronger each day. Won’t be long till all three kids are in Mom and Dads yard beating each other up. Congrats again guys!! She’s a keeper!
New Golf is getting closer to being happy. Couple stupid things needed to be done. Previous owner assured me the timing belt was done. WRONG. 500$ later, timing belt and water pump done. All good, right? Bam.. Axle boot torn, and axle is junk. Not previous owners fault, just shit luck. New axle installed and shes running strong again. Next up : gonna be a full brake job. Again, nothing serious, just a bunch of big items all due to be done at the same time. Ahh well. Maybe I can sneak some lowering springs in at the same time. Stereo is excellent. Spent some time on Saturday with Paul learning how to fiberglass a new box for it. The base is popped out, and Paul is going to keep thickening it up this week. With any luck, I can finish it off and install next weekend. W00t. Hidden bass for the win!
Audi has blown a hole in the flex pipe, so Shannons car is sounding like a derby car. I like loud exhausts, but a hole 18″ after the turbo and prior to the mufflers makes for a terrible drone.
Bike is still sitting waiting to go get the final prep work done. Looking to do that in the next week or so. Also, hoping to get in and write my m1 beginner test so that I am all ready for the driver training. Speaking of which, I think I better book that tonight.
Bug is still sleeping 🙂 Nothing to report
Finally some sad news. After a long struggle Uncle Steve has lost his battle with cancer. I don’t really know what to say here, other then you will be missed dearly. We love you Uncle Steve. Rest in Peace.
