Nose Job

Monday, 25 January 2010 09:23
No, not for me... why, do you think my nose is big?... for the Cobra.  Just a little project that I wanted to do this winter.  I thinkit really makes the front of the car look cleaner.  It took just a few hours to make a template out of some poster board, and I cut the actual piece from some old roof flashing I have had in the basement for years.  Slipped it in to place, and secured it.  I think it turned out pretty good.  The pictures don't do it justice.  I want to do some road testing to make sure it doesn't rattle, or move at speed, but that will have to wait until we have better roadster driving weather.  I took some before and after pics, but the garage is dark and cramped, so they didn't come out great.  But here you go.

How'd I do in '09

Tuesday, 05 January 2010 09:33
At the end of 2008, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish in 2009.  I tried not to call them resolutions, but more things that I wanted to do.  I thoguht that it would be good to look back at what I wanted to do, and see what I actually accomplished... he we go:

  1. Spend a long weekend in Cleveland. - DONE!  We had a great time saw a couple of baseball games, and the R&R HOF.
  2. Get a lot more use out of the boat than we did in '08. BZZZT - fail Frown We hardly got out in the boat at all again last year.
  3. Finish the outdoor bar at the lake. I am going out on a limb and calling this one DONE!  We made a temporary bar top, and it is at least fully functional.  There is more to do to make it everything I want it to be, but I really jsut want to cross this off.
  4. Actually spend time learning to speak Italian. BZZZT - fail Frown Didn't make any progress on this at all.
  5. Go on a vacation away from home. BZZZT - fail Frown that is unless you count the weekend in Cleveland... but I have high hopes for a tropical vacation in 2010
  6. Go visit people we have been promising to visit for a while. DONE!  We actually got out a few times to see these particular people.  And I hope to see them all again some more in 2010.
  7. Clean out the basement. DONE!  I had to clean out the basement to make room for our newest toy!
  8. Take some steps to advance my career. I am calling this one a FAIL... same job, same crap, same same same
  9. Finish the tile project. BZZZT - fail Frown Not even attempted
  10. Generally enjoy life more. I think I did a pretty good job of enjoying life, but I also don't want to say that I am done enjoying life more... I'll always want to enjoy life more.
So there it is... the recap of my 2009 non-resolution to do list.  Iaccomplished 5 out of 10.  I could probably do better, but I wasn't a complete failure.
I know it's already Jan 5th, I should probably make a new list for 2010... Maybe later in the week.

I thought I would post a picture of the sunset from this weekend.  I think I'll also make this a new background for the site.

Uninvited Guests

Monday, 09 November 2009 09:01
It was an interesting weekend!  Saturday morning we had a couple of deer taking laps around the neighbors house.  They hung out for 10 minutes or so, then headed up the street.  We spent the day working on the docks.  Building a temporary structure to raise the boatlift out of the water.  After dinner we settled down on the sofa, when we heard a unique sound... I'll let the pictures tell the story.

November, already?

Wednesday, 04 November 2009 08:29
I can't believe it's already November 4th! Summer was way too short this year, autumn was way too short this year, this year was way too short this year. I guess I am getting old... time is just flying by.

But with November upon us, it's almost time for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to some good turkey this year. We might actually have thanksgiving dinner either at our house, or up to the lake this year. We have done it before with just a few visitors, buit this year it looks like we would have a houseful if we do it. Of course we would break out the Brined Roasted Turkey recipe. There really is no better way to cook a turkey. Not sure what stuffing we would do though. Probably go with a traditional sausage stuffing. My mouth is watering already with 3 weeks to go.
