The truck is cool... but so is the Woody.
Still think the Riley Elf trumps 'em all though.
mmmmm dreamy. But of course I REALLY had my heart set on this free Classic that was offered here.
I wonder what ever happened with that.
And RJ I don't blame you for not taking her out in the rain.
Especially after a nice detail. But aren't you in one of the rainiest places? We're finally getting a little bit of rain here.
I get my MINI back tomorrow. She's got a whole new clutch and flywheel finally!! I've been btchn to dealerships about the problem everytime I've gone in. Used to be just hard to shift into 1st from stop and I would have vibration in the clutch pedal and shifter. But over the last few weeks it got so that I couldn't shift into 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th too well. And the clutch pedal developed some weird resistance about midway. I was smelling that hot clutch smell too... something I had smelled before when I went on the BRP Tour last year.
But YAY!! Thank you FERMAN MINI and MINI of course.

Weather as of right now is absolutely gorgeous, though a bit chilly at 48*. I'm not complaining though - it had been blowing and raining for over a week prior to this (which also made for a very bumpy plane ride here...I got sick
).
I got to see some river otters fighting along the riverbank just about an hour ago...what a sight!

Ya' know AK...Gem is right...you really should find out why you are getting Sea-Sick while flying and why the Dizzy Spells won't go away!! From a Caring Woman who knows what you are going through!!

I am doing so much better Gem...Thanks!!
Hubby even noticed Today that I was walking faster...well, it was Raining Cats and Dogs here!!
But, yeah...I'm doing much better...a Week and a Half and I'll be going back to work.
I'll miss my 2 4-legged Kids though!!
Oh...and the reason Hubby noticed was because I went with him to a Doctor's Appointment...it was kind of weird NOT being the one being "Poked and Proded"!!

Hello from Sand Point, AK. I arrived here yesterday afternoon. Oddly enough, I managed not to suffer from airsickness - and the flight was even bumpier than the one to Chignik!
And believe me, I have full intention of seeing an ENT once I get back from my field work. Unfortunately, Kodiak is a place where the ENT only comes down once a month and I haven't been in town for the ENT's last couple visits to Kodiak. I'm planning on flying up to Anchorage on my own so I can see one there.
Getting airsick (esp. in a small plane like a Cessna 185) and barfing (esp. in front of your ruthless coworkers) is NOT my idea of a good time. Typical male or not - I want to get this problem fixed (if it's even possible) once and for all. It severely impacts my work as well as my after-hours activities.
I definitely appreciate everyone's concern for my problem.
Will keep you all posted on what I find with it.

AK, I'm glad you decided to see a doctor now matter how long it take or sounds like RJ will tell you a few more "thoughts" on your ego!!!
RJ wow, going back to work in a week and 1/2 that flew by. And I totally understand you missing your four legged family members. When I went back to work my baby was so sad (as I was).
happy almost friday everyone!

wow thanks guys!!!
TN very creative!
I even got the dancing Kanga!
So far this weekend (yes I celebrate for as long as possible) We went out to my favorite Japanese restaurant Friday; Saturday to Lancaster. This morning, hubby made me strawberry stuffed french toast. Later will be cooking on the grill.
I'm having a great day so far, and it's only noon!

Gem- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I was hunting around for diamond cakes, gemstone cakes, dancing diamonds... you know... some kind of bling for ya! BUT I couldn't find anything really good. Then it hit me... DISCO *****!
And really... what's more blingin' than a freakin' disco ball right? So here you go... a DISCO BALL CAKE! And the words that went along with this cake (where I found it)... "DANCE LIKE A FUN DORK TODAY!". So do that, ok?

And just in case you don't know HOW to disco... I am including an instructional video.
