Another Long Delta in Time

So again I spent more time away than I should, SORRY!!

Still at NAPA, made a new truck check list, getting more familiar with the product placement I guess the thing that frustrates me the most, is numbers in the middle of a "run" is someplace comepletely different...

Blossom got a NEW CAR!!

2013 Dodge Dart, 1.4L turbo, 6 speed, light grey interior, and a dark Titanium metallic. What an awesome ride, the history I have had with Dodge this will be a good steed in the paddock.

Bubba is in his wheels,  for good, we are sad but his Joie de Vivre is awesome, although we see a lot of frustration in his inability to move, and get comfortable wqe try to keep him that way.

Spring is here! And the $5.00 5 Hp motor is running, and installed in the chipper shreader, a.k.a. the Mangler,  a little fine tuning on the fuel jet, and it will be  earning its' keep on the roadside of our property.

Got an idea how to make the foundation for the Pizza Oven, instead of a frost wall and 4 feet of concrete, it was brought to me to do a "floating base" which will work better for the location we are planning.

I'll post some pics later...

A long LONG time...

So I'll admit, it has been over six months, and nothing.
Here is a synopsis of what I have done.
     Got a job
     Hit Bambi, actually he hit me...
     Went to the Maine coast for Thanksgiving
     Had a blast for Christmas, with Blossom and Patrick...

So now I work for NAPA Redstone, as a delivery driver, it was supposed to be temporary, and I worked hard, and made some suggestions, so much so that they liked me. Now it is more permanent. WHoo Hoo!!!

Frigging DEER, ran into the side of my car, totaled the front fender, bent the door, rear fender, and took the windshield too.  All I got was a broken antler...GRRRRR

We made reservations to be away from the chaos of Thanksgiving at the Ponderosa, by being in Rockport ME. It worked, and we had a blast.

Check these out:




And Christmas with the wife and kid are always fun, not much in $$ spent but good times, Patrick even helped in the baking of the goodies...

NHMS PorscheBQ, Fun Had By All, well ME at least

 Yea, that much smoke is not good for any car...
 Ralphy, turn the wheel into the wall, then we can stop chasing it...
 Oops, better put out the track, first...
Ah finally had to break out the big hose, and thanks to SSS, it was all white smoke in just seconds.
Wouldn't have it any other way, now one more thing I did that weekend, hack up a lung from all that nasty smoke... NOMEX good, Smoke BAD!!!

A Vintage Weekend

Ok, I will admit I LOVE VINTAGE CARS, to see them static is a good sighting, to see them racing and moving the way they were meant to move, is AWESOME!!!
Spent the weekend with a best friend, and got to see some people that I had not seen for a long time too.  Buddy and Bob, Steve and Mack, all made the weekend more fun.
Dinner both nights were entertaining, and to wake up each morning with a vintage car "knocking" on the door of the RV was just nirvana.

 MGA
 Trimuph Spitfire
 Bugatti Type 31
The ultimate dichotomy, Ford V8 and Mazda RX-3
MMMMMM Nice...

 WINNING TEAM, Bartlett Fire Department



 It might look like we were moving, but there was mostly walking to positions

Hollywood, showing his dribbling skills, poor but still a skillset...
