It's nearly over and done with. A few more days and 2008 will be in the history books for ever. As for 2009.......well......we will just have to wait and see. With all the negative news and rumours of worse to come around April it's not looking that great.
Still so long as we have a roof over our heads, clothes on our back, food in our stomachs and a few pennies in the bank I think we should get by.
In the meantime..... a few pixs from Christmas and yes.....it was a white one.
A very White Christmas

Hmmmm I wonder if Granddad is going
to give me a big Hot Rod present

These carrots are slippery little guys
I'd better concentrate real hard

Oh yeah ..... presents from GrandMa

Merry Christmas Daddy I love you
Merry Christmas Cameron I love you too

Tasha getting ready for Halloween
The weather guys said it was going to be nice and sunny this weekend so thought I'd tag along with Tasha when she went up to the Sunshine Coast. It was only for the afternoon (and dinner) then back on the ferry to Vancouver. The photo's say it all.

Time to go home

Have got to know the great guys at B&N Hot Rods a few minutes from home and had the honour of being invited to 2 of their functions this summer.

The 1st was a Poker Run in memorial of one of their Hot Rodding buddies. What a neat day that was. Not only did Iget to take some photo's I got to participate in the run as the 'Spotter?' in Dans mat black truck. It was a bit bumpy and noisy but tons of fun.

The 2nd event was the vist of John and Tik (? spelling) Reid from Rods by Reid in New Zealand. John is considered one of the best if not "The Best" hot rod builder in NZ and is a closefriend of Bill & Neil at B&N Hot Rods. Some really cool rods showed up for that little get together.
Completed!!

Looking way better

Been quite a few months since posting anything and yet so much has happened. Was way too busy at work and the summer passed me by in a flash. All I semed to be doing was eating working and sleeping, but...............I did get time for a few car shows and a couple of visits up the coast to the family.
One thing that finally happened....our condo reno's are done!! Yahoo!!!!!!!!!! now I can use my deck to watch the snow flakes fall. Summers over so won't be out there trying to get a tan. Guess I might still have to wait a few months for the snow though. Now all that needs to be done is the insides. Patching and painting the so-called patching the reno guys did. What a joke that was!. Gives me something to do though...Yeah as if I don't have anything else.
Will post some car show photo's later in the week.
