After the nice 15degree days at the beginning of the month, these -15-20 degree days/nights have really felt cold. Thankfully I haven’t had to spend too much time outdoors.
Got the winter tires mounted up on the Cooper. Now if/when the snow returns I should finally have some decent traction again. And while we’re on the Cooper, looks like I’m gonna need a new windshield. Not 3 weeks after getting it, a nice stone hit the windshield and a nice crack formed within hours. No chance to fill it. If memory serves me correctly, I am pretty sure the same thing happened right after I got my first MINI. Also, nearly finished the stereo install. Actually, it`s fully installed at this point, just needs some additional tuning (which requires pulling the seat back out) but otherwise it sounds pretty good. The old box from my Subaru fit nearly perfectly. A little beat up and should be rebuilt from scratch, but this will hold me over till warmer weather.
Still no updates on the bug other then it’s in the way 🙂 Really can’t wait to get the suspension on so I can move it closer to the wall during the winter months. I`m ignoring it for now. I will be emailing the shop Feb 1st to see whats up. As long as I get the parts before the end of February, which gives me 1-2 months to tweak and tinker to make it all work again, I will be happy.
Kids are doing awesome. Joe is talking more and more like an adult. My baby boy somehow has morphed into this little dude who can have actual conversations. Very, very strange. And Abby has really excelled in SK this year. So proud of her. Last week, she also lost her 2nd tooth. Tooth fairy is gonna go bankrupt at this rate 🙂
Brain is numb from the cold for now. Things on the horizon : Katie and Brian get their house in 2-3 weeks, 4 weeks till Spring training starts.. and eventually warm weather will be back long enough to ride the bike. A nice early mid-february spring like last year would be AWESOME. Here`s hopin!
