As I set here enjoying the last few minutes of my weekend, I will have to say it was pretty full. It all started off with me getting everything together to swap out the engine in my 1989 Jeep Cherokee. This Jeep was bought as a toy. I knew that if I got everything done to it that I wanted to, when my son started driving in two years he would want it. But after lending it to my mother in law it now needs a new motor.
Amazingly everything came together quite nicely. I found a motor on Craigslist for $150 and was able to borrow all of the items needed to swap engines. This will be done with the help of my brother in law and my son. Should be interesting.
The weekend continued on Saturday morning with the Yeti's heading out for their first bike ride of the summer. I think that we bit off a little more than we could chew for our first ride. We ended up covering around 36.5 miles, according to Chris. We headed out to Henryville, Indiana and back with a very much needed pit stop at Dairy Queen on the way back. I am pretty sure that the pit stop made all of the peddling worth while. There was the most interesting guy sitting behind us. He was with a couple of people and telling them stories about alien abductions, the overseerers of the earth, a woof, and a brand new luxury van. You would have had to be there to see the extreme humor in all of this, but trust me, I thought I was going crap myself laughing.
Today was spent picking up the engine for the Jeep and doing the outdoor chores around the house.
All in all it was a full weekend.

Man, I wish you had recorded that conversation!
ReplyDeleteQuite a morning. I wish I could remember everything that guy said. The legend of that day will continue to grow.
