Phone Test...

For some reason I haven't been able to update the ol blog using my cellular telephone. Looks like it's back.

Herding Instinct Test...

We rolled up to Action K9 Sports in Escondido with Becki, Patrick and Chlo to get the girls all a Herding Instinct Test. Chlo was a natural...Our girls...not so much. In their defense...they were pretty massive sheep...but I thought for sure Whiskey would have been more into it. She gave the sheep a chase or two here and there but nothing like I thought she would. Nice day in the sun...great to see the all the dogs out there giving it a go. Nice work on the certificate of completion, Chlo! Thanks Becki and Patrick!

Racked Up...Finally...

After much runaround from the gentlemen at Off Road Unlimited they finally got me my Defender roof rack. When I ordered it I was told 4 weeks till I would receive it. Every week or so after the initial month I would call and ask how the rack was coming along. Aaaand I would get..."Oh yea buddy it is at powder coat right now"...then I would get..."Oh yea it's almost ready we are just waiting on center sections".

After about 4 months of and lame excuses and them just telling me what I wanted to hear and telling me "not to worry they were going to throw some stuff in and hook me up"...I got transferred over to the owner of the company. Right of the bat he gave me...The previous "It's at powder coat" excuse, Twice..."Powder coaters were closed for the holidays"..."They couldn't pick it up from powder coat because of the weather(They are in SoCal)"...and then my favorite..."The powder coater is out of their special signature black powder coat". After all of those gems and 6 months the damn thing arrived.

All of those excuses I would have been fine with...Except for the fact that I got the "It's at the powder coaters" excuse 5 times and the "waiting on center sections" excuse 3 times...

It's here now...water under the bridge. Next step getting my lights mounted and calling ORU and asking where my "Hook-Up" is that they promised to throw in for making me wait so long. Imagine that...It wasn't included with my shipment. I am pretty sure they are going to tell me it is at the powder coaters.

Brewing with James...

James invited me over this weekend to check out his brewing process. I have always been intrigued by the process of brewing beer and I kinda think James is okay. Thanks for having us over buddy. Now the waiting game begins...let me know when you need more help...Especially when you get to the drinking of the ice cold beer step.

Meggy's New Whip...

It may be hard to see in the photo because your eyes are drawn to that sweet Econoline....but if you look closely in the foreground you can see Megan and her new Honda Fit.

San Diego Brewing Co...

Bear Republic Racer 5...You are my only friend.

Meggy and I stopped in on Friday for some lunch and a beer. The special sounded good...Open-faced Prime Rib Sandwich...so I went for it. I should know better by now...I have been burned so many times by a mediocre specials @ Callahan's.

The beer and the company were stunningly beautiful...made up for the not-so-special special.

Life...

This whole pretending to be a grownup stuff is for the birds.

Pierce Family Visit...

I guess I never got around to finalizing this post...Weird. Better late than never.
