I got my surprise early. Went down to Portland this past weekend, stayed at the Sheraton. Stood in line from 8am till 6pm in freezing rain for "first come first serve" General Admission seats for the sold out
U2 Concert !!! The last stop on their North American tour! My wife said, "Merry Christams, Happy New Year, Happy Birthday and enjoy it because that is all your getting for a while!"
We got lucky and were in the Elipse, right in front of the band! An experience I will never forget! What an awesome gift!
Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Some gifts I bought for myself: Koni yellows for the rear and 6.5" minilites.
Some things I "think" I will be opening tomorrow: Rear adjustable coilover kit and a 1gb memory card for my digital camera so I can record all my AX runs next year.
I'll keep you informed!
Merry christmas!

Cool surprise!!
Who got that for ya? The folks?
Bring 'em over sometime this week and we'll hook 'em up...
Not sure what's coming my way yet, though I have reason to suspect a Hans device from the wife( Nice to know she wants my head to stay attached!) and some new driving shoes. That would be pretty amazing...
Will confirm later...
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! |
Not the folks, they got me the tires and some sick dockers pj's. Yes, cool pajamas, go figure.
THe harness came from my aunt and uncle, whos daughter,(my cousin) is dating a really nice guy who is into a few aspects of racing. Landspeed, top fuel, etc...
anywho, they got the harness from him, and said that I can get the 2nd one for cheap, as well as him wanting to install a cage in my car
I will for sure drop by the shop this week.
Hope everyone enjoys their time with family this year.

To be honest, I only know his first name, and its Brad.
I had his family race teams website as a favorite not long ago, but I deleted it by mistake.
Unfortunately, his grandfather died while trying to break his own record for fastest piston engined.
Parachute malfunction led him to two decisions. Roll it out, and hit the highway at that lay a half mile ahead of him, or attempt to turn. He attempted the turn, at 350mph. he hit a wet area on the flats and he rolled in the mud.
I'll get the family site for you, maybe even take you along with me to their shop in Point Loma with me if your lucky. LOTS OF TOYS there.

Never want to do that again......

Believe it or not, 2 small jack stands !
I have 6 big ones that I use for my 914 repairs, but when my kids bring over their Hondas I can never seem to get those big ones situated correctly and end up using chunks of fire wood to prop them up...well now I am set, SAFETY FIRST.
The stands were on sale at Sears for $14.95, that is what my girlfriend paid, yet I spent well over 600 Bucks on her, some how I got the short end of the stick once more.

My Bros gave me a year of XM and the reciever..
And about coal. We have been giving and getting coal since we were kids. At some point my parent put lumps of coal in our christmas stockings as a joke. My brothers and I have been giving these same lumps of coal to each other going on 40 years... Yes its a silly family tradition.
