Almost Home for the Holidays

I guess you could say I was home, the almost part probably relates to the fact Christmas is only a week away. Geez, that probably means I’ll need to start shopping pretty soon. Hah, procrastination is fun ‘aint it? Well this weekend was nice. Saturday we celebrated Dad’s big 50th birthday over the weekend with a great dinner at Black Angus and mom took care of the home-made goodies and treats for afterward. Sunday brought a really nice church service and hearty breakfast to follow at Farmer Boys. Mmm, havn’t been there since the AI days of 7am classes and 5am wakeups. Have I mentioned recently I love my 4 minute commute to work?

My other love..

After we got back from breakfast, dad and I pulled the Malibu out and gave her a nice slick wash and shine. We all piled in the car and took her for a spin. Amazing to think we havn’t driven her in over a year, but time does fly if you don’t keep up. We were doing pretty well for a while but struggled to get her back alive after a stall down the street, thats where the Auto Club truck parked in the driveway comes into play. Dad and I think it’s a combination of old fuel filter, possible bad fuel pump, maybe an aging starter and year-old gas that’s lost some octane. Looks like another project for another day, but what a day today was to take a drive down a wonderful memory lane.

I’ll post some more shots we took in a few.

Oh, and to my RSS people, I made the move to FeedBurner. Since I was doing a little slick url re-direction I’m not quite sure if it will work. You may notice a couple changes in posts for the next couple days while I get a handle on it.
