Finally the winter appears to be behind us! It wasn’t a particularly bad winter, just felt like it went on forever. Just when the weather started looking good – BAM another 5cm of snow. I don’t want to jinx it, but I feel it has finally ended.
Spring means baseball! And boy does my little family love baseball. The kids have been fully taken in by my favourite sport, and it has been awesome! They have really taken an interest in watching MLB games with Shannon and I and really doing well at learning more of the rules and nuances of the games. Pretty sure they can name nearly every starting player on the Yankees. LOVE it. Also, with spring comes the kids baseball as well! Started about 6 weeks ago with some indoor spring training and also a pitching clinic for Abby. Both have been doing very well! And when at home, anytime there is a free moment, one ore both are outside playing catch with each other or the trampoline we have turned on its end to throw against. Shaping up to be a super fun summer!
Earlier in this month, Joe celebrated his first Holy Communion. Boy was suited up and looking super slick. He did great with his reading and singing and was very proud of himself for doing it. Shannon, myself and the rest of the family couldn’t be more proud. Good job buddy!
Garage update: slow and steady. We’ve hired someone to do some drawings for us to take to the building department. First revision looked great. Needed some minor adjustments to the ceiling height in the garage to allow for the hoist, but overall they are coming along nicely. Hoping for a “final draft” in the near future. Once we have those, it’s time for pricing out the job (materials and labour) and then its time to go to the bank and figure out how to pay for this. So close, yet still so far away. Still cautiously optimistic that we will be breaking ground this summer.
Vehicle updates: Bug is still sleeping. Nothing has been done to the bike other then riding every chance I get. Put some decent km’s on already. Shannon bought me a new helmet for my birthday. So far, I am loving it. It is a Sena Momentum Lite. Basically a helmet with Sena communicator built into it. Quality is excellent. Its breaking in to fit my head perfectly, and the Bluetooth stuff works very very well. Thanks again wifey! Sierra has a new set of shoes on her. 20″ OEM wheels. Also, I have a small stack of parts in the garage waiting to be installed as well a few more parts on order. Hoping to have everything on hand by end of next week for a install blitz during my holiday from May 19-27. The Jeep has it’s on stash of parts as well! 3 new lights for the light bar are ready for install, as well as 2 more to be installed on the A-pillars with new mounts are sitting at the mailbox ready for pickup. Should be a fairly straight forward job, just lots of wiring to get figured out. Goal is to have all the parts for the Sierra/Sahara installed by June 1.
