Well, September is here, and that means one thing. Goodbye to summer 🙁 Luckilly for me, I am a huge fan of the fall season. Colours are beautiful, temperature is perfect for jeans and a t-shirt, and Major League Baseball is wrapping up, so the Yankees will be getting ready to win another championship 🙂
Speaking of baseball, my tenure as coach of the Hagersville Midget Girls is officially over as of last weekend. Although we didn’t win very many games, Shannon and I had a very fun summer. Shannon was kind enough to take on the role of team ma nager again, and take care of all the bookings and paper work. I really couldn’t have made it through the season without her. Thanks babe. And thanks to all the girls who came out every week to play. You should be proud of how well you’s did (most of the time 🙂 ).
Also, last weekend, Shan and I visited our first MINI Meet. Met some new faces, and seen some pretty sweet cars. Pretty sure we will try and make this meet a bit more regularily. HERE are the few pictures I took before going in to eat.
Bug Update: Not a heck of a lot to post about the bug. Been doing some hunting for place to do interior for bug. While in Simcoe booking my MINI in (more on that later), I inquired about having interior done while they had my Bug for a headliner install. The owner pointed me in the right direction. After speaking to his buddy, I now have a place to do my seat and panel recoverring. Also, if I take my headliner to him before I have him do my seats, he will dye them all to match. So when I take the bug in, It will come home with headliner and all upholstery done, installed and matching. And all at a reasonable price.
On to the MINI. I figured for my one year anniversary with the car, I would buy her a new winshield with the optional tinted viser. Looks excellent. No more cracks or pits. Hurray for clear vision. Sadly, that week I had to spend a bit more cash on it too. My battery died in an exciting fashing with blinking lights and all sorts of fan fare. On the upside, I was inspired to remove the back seat of the car, and turn it into a 2 seater with a nice carpetted hatch. Now I can haul more stuff as I often need to. And if i need to haul people, 20 minutes and voila. 4 seater.
A little bit of time last weekend, and many hours yesturday were spent on a new car audio task for Kevins car. As we get older we get more and more creative. This time, It was fiberglass kick panels. HERE are some pictures of the project in progress. Not quite done yet, but its getting their. Crappy weather slowed the cure time yesturday. Damn it
Well, only other side effect of September being here, is … back to work full time. I have enjoyed my 2 day work weeks all of July and August. Sadly, those days are gone. One more 4 day work week, and its back to full 5 days. Garr.. Gonna take some getting used to..
Till nex time ..
awww the poor beetle : for as much as i rib you about it, you know i’m seriously hoping you get it back soon. Can’t imagine your joy when its painted and running and ready to roll out for the first time in over 4 years. Stacey said it right, most projects take 4 years…so you’re due!
Drive it like it’s stolen! (only slower) hehee it IS a beetle afterall
