Lots of updates, so I will try and get them all in one post. If I missed anything, feel free to leave a comment to let me know.
Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers/grand fathers out there. (Especially mine!) Hope you all have a great day with your families and friends. Also, while i’m on it, happy birthday to my Grandpa, my father-in-law Jeff, and also brother-in-law Jordon.
Next up. Andrew and Lonnie’s wedding reception was a couple weeks ago. The crazy kids got themselves married in the tropics. This reception was for those of us who weren’t on the island to see it. Had an awesome time, as we always do with the group. Thanks kids!
Speaking of weddings, Jeff and Nicole got married this past weekend up in Manatoulin Islands. Sadly, given the distance Shannon and I was not able to attend, as long car rides + 6 months pregnant aren’t going well together lately. I’ve seen some pics, and talked to some who attended, and apparently it was a crazy good time up in the islands. Congrats to you guys, and sorry again we didn’t make it.
The only upside to not going to Jeff’s wedding, is that I was able to attend the June Jitterbug car show in Niagara Falls. Shannon, Alex and I headed up around 11am. It was the largest dub show they have had yet. I heard 350-400 cars. All I know was there was a pile of cars. I didn’t get as many pictures as I had wanted, but I got some good ones anyways. Pictures are HERE
Speaking of VW’s, mine is coming along nicely. Currently, the car is back in Cayuga with Paul having the headlights, and running boards mounted, as well as some black paint going under the hoods, and under fenders. For the week between the headliner shop and going back to Pauls place, I got a bit of work done. Bryan and Kevin came over one night. Brakes have been bled and adjusted, new ignition switch installed, and the wiring has been sorted out to the point that I can actually turn the key, and start the car. Once it comes back from Pauls place, theres a bit of wiring cleanup to do, install the interior, and lower the back and and she will be ready to drive!
Last and certainly not least, Shannon and I got together with some friends we haven’t seen as often as we would like. Rob Rankin was in from the UK for Jeffs wedding. Even tho we didn’t get to go to the wedding with them, we all met up in Burlington at Emma’s restaraunt and were able to get together with Rob and the crew for food and drinks. We cut dinner a bit short to meet up at a VW get-together, also in Burlington where two good friends were in from New Brunswick for holidays. Mike and Shelly (with a friend of theirs who I can’t remember his name, but was a cool guy just the same), made the long drive from NB to Ontario to partake in the June Jitterbug. Rob, Mike and Shelly: it was awesome seeing you guys. Hope you all had a safe drive/flight home, and that you will be back again soon!
