Man I’m looking forward to spring. Starting to get the mid winter blues I think. So much I want to do, just don’t have the desire or drive to do it while the weather is as cold, snowy as it is now.

Wedding plans still moving along, slowly but surely. Got the wedding list pretty much sorted out. Got a couple people who i want to invite, just have to go over the numbers. I don’t want to over book the hall. Sucks being so popular. Going to look at flowers this weekend. (yay). 2 weeks till the engagement party. Should be interesting.

Car progress has slowed to almost a halt with occasional visits to the garage. Hard to work when you can’t feel your hands. Alex has made more trips then i have as of late. 15 minutes here, 45 there. Just too cold to really have at it. Spring is coming, and hopefully we can do a couple good marathon weekends, and get a large portion done. 198 days to go. At first I was afraid of running out of money before we get done, right now I’m more worried about time. We’ll get there. *warm weather, and god willing* 😉  If weather and time don’t permit, I will just sell my soul.. Should be enough to cover most the work, however, I was hoping to use it to buy my 20’s. Choices choices

Truck is still giving me the glare of death every time i look at it. She’s still mad I haven’t fixed the ding. I’m waiting till the weather warms and salts gone so the paint has a chance to cure. Also hoping i can scrounge up 250$ for an air dam and a roll pan so i can get them painted at the same time, and hopefully save some $.

Not to much to post right now. Things are coming along slowly still. Photographer has been picked for the wedding, and down payment made. Also, Shannon and I completed the Wedding Prep course so that we can officially be married within the church. Can’t say we learned a whole lot. Not to many surprises when you already been living with some one for 8-9 months, but it had to be done, and I’m glad we did it.

Nothing much else to report. The trucks dirty, wants its wheels and a cnotch. Putting weight in the back of a lowered truck is a bad thing. Can you say less then an inch of travel in the rear end? I think ya can!!

The front end of the bug is slowly taking form. Alex is doing an absolutely awesome job. I swear the guy is fussier then the people who put the car together the first time. It will pay off in the end when its perfect as can be. There’s no way I could do this project without him (and not go totally broke). Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit. Its been so hard to work on the damned thing when you can blink as your eyes have been frozen over. Luckily Alex has been able to spend some time out there when he gets semi warm pockets of time. I even found a little Alex happy face 🙂 .. (Hey Mr. Dumb Dumb, notice he closes the mask completely before sparkin) 🙂

So much for my “regular  updates” .. Shit happens i suppose. Nothing overly pressing to talk about so i will try and give you as much as i can think of.. *sound of crickets chirping*.  Shannon has decided on, and placed her order for her wedding dress. Should be here in 5 months i think she said. Shes excited, and a little impatient. I havent (and wont) see it until the day; and i cant wait :-).  I think we have decided on the tuxs as well. Its called “the matrix”.. Sounds cool, and the price is right at about 180 after shoes, vests taxes and all that jazz.

Car/truck updates. Ive decided on the wheels for the bug and the wheels/rubber for the truck. Bug will be getting some 15×5.5 Empi Chrome 8 spokes. And the truck will be getting some American Racing Torq Thrust ST 20×8.5. With some Goodyear 275/45/20 rubbers on them. Gonna be nice. Just gotta rob a bank first.

Lastly, (for now) the apartment is now wireless. Yep, IRC and surf from the couch baby!!! I got my laptop from work, which comes complete with wireless nic. I have recently sold my regular router, and picked up a Linksys 4 port router with built in Wireless Access Point. So i am free to roam. BugsMobile, now online 😉 However, the laptop has been banned from the bedroom. Apparently Shannon doesnt want Hacky, Jim and the rest of the 2cpu channel coming to bed with us … Party pooper
