24 days until Star Wars Episode 7 The Force Awakens! Sadly I’m not going to be able to see it for a week or so after it’s released, but still, I’m beyond stoked. As are my two little people. We’ve been re-watching the original 6 movies and the cartoon Rebels to get ourselves all up to date and ready for the movie. Hard part is going to be the time between the movie coming out and the day I actually go see it. Avoiding spoilers on the internet is going to be near impossible. I may even have to take an internet hiatus for that period of time. Yikes
Winter is here-ish. Temps keep flipping from 15degrees to -3. Little flurries here and there but so far we’ve avoided any accumulation. Hoping that is still the case for at least another month. If I could go all winter without shoveling, I would be a happy guy. That said, I may have to go without shoveling, as I just remembered my shovel didn’t survive last season. Sounds like I need a Costco/Depot run.
As mentioned last month, bug is sleeping, and MINI mods are pretty much done for the year. Bike is going to my mechanics this week to safely remove the engine covers so I can get them powder coated. Hopefully Santa is good to me and brings me some of the other parts i’ve asked for so I can get the bike the way I want it by spring time. As for the Jeep: Dodge contacted Shannon last week to offer her a deal on a ’16 Wrangler. We thought long and hard and looked at the website. Found they don’t offer orange this year. PASS. Keeping the big pylon for a while yet. To be honest, even if they had the same colour, I really doubt Shannon would have parted with her baby.
Christmas is coming soon. Chaos has been surrounding our lives already as far as scheduling and we haven’t even looked at the week or Christmas yet! Parties, shopping, tree hunting, etc etc. One day I am looking forward to is Dec20. I bought tickets to take the wife and kids to HBC Arena (or whatever it’s called now) to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Shannon and I have been a few times before, but never with the kids. Should be a fun day! Following it up with a trip to the Outback so Joe can have his ‘brown bread’
