Bugs Palace!

Four years ago today (well, not exactly, but I base years on holiday, not the dates); So actually 4 Thanksgivings days ago, Shannon and I had our first date: Simcoe Fair Demolition Derby. Whats more romantic than that eh? I’m too good. Well, as you all know, LAST Thanksgiving, I proposed to Shannon and she said yes. I was hoping to have the wedding today (just one less date for me to remember), but alas, didn’t work out that way. Oh well. So I’d like to say happy 4 years to Shannon, and here’s to a lifetime of Thanksgivings to come. Now bring me some turkey 🙂

Speaking of turkey, Saturday Shannon, Adam Wybenga and myself went to Shannons Dads place for turkey dinner. *Burp* is all I can say. By 9pm, i was ready to stick a fork in myself, as I was done. Was nice having our orphaned buddy Adam with us. We even behaved our selves. Imagine that.

Yesterday we went to Uncle Shoupie/Aunt Linda’s house for turkey dinner. It was fantastic as always. Weird not being at Aunt Val/Uncle Bretts house for it, but everyone was all there, so its still good. Family is all that matters. And the Turkey of course. Even though the bird had to be lifted from Fisherville to feed us, it was all good. MMmm imported Turkey from Fisherville.

Uncle Elmer and Aunt Leonne are visiting from out west. Was nice to visit with them. I haven’t seen them for about 10 years. Can defiantly tell Uncle Elmer and Grandpa are related.  Hopefully they have a safe trip back to Manitoba tomorrow.

Two last thank yous. One to Aunt Val who spent most of the night helping Chewie relieve his itch. Poor little fella picked up a flea at some point this week, and was driving him crazy. Aunt Val and Shannon spent what seemed like hours brushing and looking through his hairs trying to find it and they finally did. Chewie is very happy now. No more itch tail. Happy puppy once again.  And the other one to Skylar for making the road trip with me to Cayuga to get gas. Man that kid has a heavy foot 🙂

Holy overdue posting batman. As mentioned in my last post, I sold (and have since) delivered the truck to its new owner. It was a wonderful truck, and words can’t say  how much I will miss it. Go HERE for the final write-up and first wave of digital pictures.

On to new business. Katie got her wisdom teeth removed and is as to be expected in a bit of pain. I barely remember getting mine done, but i do remember it wasn’t a pleasant experience. Donna and Alex broke up. Feel like I’ve lost a brother. That’s 2 this year, I’m on a role. Given the way he’s been to her the past while, I can’t say I’m upset its over. I do wish he would have tried to remain friends instead the way he did things. . What can you do.

Happy news. I got a new CAR!. Yep, no more “Pickup man” theme song for me. As of Tuesday September 30th, I am the proud owner of a new 2003 VW Golf TDI. Manual, diesel, 4 doors and of course black. Argh. Its a hell of a lot of fun to drive. And the 1000kms on 30$ aint too shabby either ;-). Now bring on the mods. Tint is already done, and GTI tail lights are on the way. Cant drive it stock now can I? I wont be going to the extreme I did with the truck, but I will certainly make it mine. My  new favorite word is “Turbo”. Pictures coming soon. I’ve been slacking, and it has been raining. Deal with it.

I’m sure im forgetting something, but I will have to update again later. Still feeling the affects of a migraine so I am still a bit foggy.

2 days, 2 posts. w00t for me. Couple quickies. WEDDING ALBUMS have finally been started. Got pictures from Me, Adam, and Doug up so far. Hopefully will have more from my group of friends’ digi-cams, as well as the photos from the actual photographer. All these photos, I guess I should start on the TDI page soon. Ahh well.. One of these days. Also a couple new galleries on the Photos page.
