Been a busy few weeks. After pricing the cost to repair/repaint the body work on my truck and building it into what I envision, I decided to continue looking for a solid replacement. I found one. And it was amazing. Made and deal and left a deposit just so the seller could back out of the deal the next day when I was ready to go get it. I was beyond pissed, but in the end it worked out….
I started looking deeper and actually came across a 2006 GMC Sierra in black with a MUCH cleaner body. Went and checked it out and ended up buying it on the spot. Following day we picked it up and dropped it off at Smouts for a safety inspection. Hopefully they’ll get to it before the weekend. Basically its a continuation of the plans I had with the pewter truck but without wanting to do a full colour change paint job. Can’t wait to get it home and migrate some of the stuff into it and get the project going again! Hopefully it don’t need much for safety 🙁 Pictures to come once I actually take some 🙂
The Triumph has finally got some street time over the month of September. Only did 3500kms all summer — and then did 1500 in the month of September alone. Sitting around 5100km right now. If weather allows, I’m hoping to ride for a least another 2500km. Time and mother nature only know for sure 😉 Loving it still.
Bug updates are small. Nothing to report really. Haven’t driven much in the last month or so. Looking for a good dry day to run to Pauls place to get the bumper brackets sorted out. Hopefully able to get hem mounted up before winter hits. Be nice to have them on when it goes down for storage so I will have no down time come next season.
House : broken hot tub has been removed and hauled away. Now I have to get a couple bucks together and re-deck over the area that it used to sit. Goal is to do before winter hits. Also, I’ve removed the front walk way to the house and layed down interlocking stones. The walk way is complete, just need to take some time and figure out a permanent step to get up to the front door and a load of dirt for the new garden. That too will come soon hopefully.
Kids have been in school for about a month and both loving it. Makes me happy knowing how much they enjoy being there. It’s funny on the weekends hearing Joe complain that it’s not a school day. I guess he’s bored with us. Hopefully their love for the place never changes. Proud of you guys!
Oh, and there are 225 days till Florida. Not that anyone is counting.
