Not for nothin':

So here we are...it's the Holiday season. Fuck.

It's practically a death wish to venture off doing normal routine anything, at least it seems that way. I can't stand the cavalcade of idiots which are going to be running rampant over the next few weeks. From grocery shopping; to holiday shopping. Meh.

Also, I have fucking JURY DUTY starting tomorrow. I'm
miffed about it. I really don't want to
do it. Ah well.

This past Saturday was the annual Parker's Maple Barn breakfast with the guys and company. The turnout was actually subpar, compared to years prior. I am
not sure if it is lack of interest or communication. Basically, I think we are all older now and the tradition seems less and less relevant to our lives. Since high school, we've practiced this tradition. It's sort of a
promise to ourselves.. And now..it's more of an argument..or testament, rather..to the lack of foresight we had as young men. Hah.

But there was this great sign! It seemed all too
fitting, considering the circumstances.


Well..after that I took the long drive to pick up some Hanabi's off this kid Josh. He was a nice guy. The deal worked out pretty well. It was a straight up trade. That killed a few hours. Following the drive, Candy and I went to Lui Lui's for some dinner. It was alright.

After that we stopped at Home Depot to get chicken wire for the Christmas Tree that we decided to make this year. We got home and started. It was a very painstaking process. It took us the better part of 2 hours. I'm not entirely sure of how satisfied Candy is with it..but I like the way it came out. I think it is complimented very well by our living room. Maybe it's just me? Here are a few pics. One with my phone, one with the Sony.


So after that..we spent some time looking to see if we could find "The Dressing" episode of ATHF..but unfortunately... to no avail. So we cut our losses and watched some Peanuts. Called it a pretty early night and hit the hay shortly after. I am just really beat as of recent. I can't seem to shake this sleepiness. And that is very uncharacteristic of me. Idk..




Well....that about sums it up. Check out the hatch in her natural environment. Just like Mother Nature had intended.. :-)

The hatch needs more squat, less poke, and paint!

Hey guys. I'm making a post to really document how embarrassed I currently am by my hatch.
The most redeeming thing about it is Carl and Wongburger. Hansom fellows for sure. I used to think the raked stance and 15 or 16s with some dick ass poke was the way to go with the hatch...meh.

Below you'll see a few pics, and even a really shitty video (brought to you by Matty :|)

Anyways on with some fotos:
Fuhgeddaboutit!
Here is a few shots from the Kanc cruise this summer. The bottom two were taken by Keven Starling (credit where credit is due.. lol)

This illustrates how much farther I need to dump this car. It rides stiff, pretty comfortable..but this ain't no daily driver! I want this shit to be on it's face, dragging nuts! I'm thinking wide body on the rear too..I just gotta settle on a coilover set up. I am just sick of the raked stance I used to jock so hard.


Apparently I offroad.. at least you'd
Think!

And some vidya! Remember..Matty took it...sorry.

Holy Hell!

So this week is going to be a hell of a long week. So much to do, and, well...only the standard allotment of time in which to do it!

Candy and I are both working 6 days straight this week. We are going to be in the office on Thanksgiving...ughh.. THANK FUCKING GOD FOR THAT!

Ah well..extra money is always good. It's been a bitch this week. I am literally flat broke and Candy is pretty close. Rough! We're doin' alright. I am trying to sell parts, people say "I'll get it this weekend" and then never get back to me. Ah well, I'm sure other people are hurtin' right now too.

Recently, I've done virtually nothing. My motivation has been pretty slack. Muffins have not been getting baked! If you know what I mean.. And I am sure you might. I'm not even sure.

I need to pick up a *NEW* alternator for the hatch..and probably a new battery. But..I find it hard to really get that together when I wanna pull the motor and build that smelly slut up. We still have not found a garage (which also bums me out huge) and that is important. A very important step. We're still just trying to get shit together.

For the vert I have to get some sound deadening..then we are going to replace the interior. We gotta reupholster the gross tweed looking knit pattern bull plop that Nissan decided would look good with something far sexier. I wanna get the interior wrapped up. I found an HUD sub harness too..so hopefully that will work out in our benefit. Just gotta figure out the wiring.

I missed the swap meet yesterday. That's bullshit.
Picking up Hanabis for the Vert on Saturday..that is so sick that I believe only Disturbed fans could possibly understand... >_>
I need a passenger seat for my hatch.

Other than that...golden..I think. Who knows. I just wish things would fall together soon.

STICKERS?!!

So being broke really sucks. Basically, we've been scraping together what little funds we can do pay the things we need to. Bills are taken care of and all that shit. Now spending money is low. BOGUS!


At any rate.. I might be having some stickers printed out, not sure if we're gonna do die cut or print yet. And I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna do a pigbomb related sticker. Not entirely sure yet. It just depends on when, really.

Sorry, I don't really have something cool to update with. It's been a slow week. Next week I plan on scooping up some Hanabis for Candy. We're probably gonna work on the vert a good deal. That right there will be the money. Hahaha.

Thanksgiving is up in the air for me too. I really don't feel like doing anything for it this year. I dunno why.
Here is a video for you all to check out. It's from the cruise. I feel like I am leaving you guys high and dry. Just a snap of Film from inside Leon's car coming under the bridge onto 93North. Featuring Myself and Willy Will.

That is all for now. Buy my parts and stickers! :-)

Update - Pictures from our recent past



So, I had plans for some epic post regarding the kanc cruise. Sexy pics and awesome videos and yada yada. Truth be told... I have not really worked on the video in some time. It's been a complete pain in the ass in fact. I need a software upgrade before I can really make it shine. Right now I'm talking awful editing comparable to using two VCRs to assemble footage.
Haha, well, needless to say...it may be a while before I can post som
ethin
g worthy. But I do have some alright pictures to post. So I figure why not?

So here are some shots!
Snazzy picture of Willy Will's car:

And here is a shot of Leon and I at about 7AM. I like the sh
ot..a good candid.
we leave


Some Dan Button for dat ass..
Photobucket


Another good shot...at least I like it. Simplistic and kinda dirty. Good
Photobucket

Now...Sorry for all the huge pictures. I wanted to post them big because I like them that way. I know usually I post something a little smaller. But these may find there way onto my computer background at work today.

P.S... Today is my first Friday of the week which I love. I hate split days, shitty hours, and having to really modify my life for this, but...I get by. This weekend(s) I think we are really going to have to attack the vert to get it ready enough to replace the interior, and move, and swap the motor.

Farts~

Anyways... I end with this

So far I suck at this..

But shit... I'm currently the only asshole who has even posted. I figured someone else would have contributed...but apparently they just can't hang.

Anyways.. let's see..what is new?

I picked up a Bride Zeta II about a month ago for the hatch..you guys know what they look like so I won't be posting. Candy and I picked up some Corbeaus for the vert. They are pretty boss. I think the Vert is going to be wicked hella pissa. At least I am hoping.

I really dropped the ball on posting about the Kancamagus cruise from August. Which is bullshit. That was a goo
d time. Got to meet some of the kids from ONE for the first time. All solid!

I have plenty of video and pictures from that... I'll really have to get off my ass and take care of that so I have something to post. I feel like this is already shaping up to be dog shit and that is not what I want. But...let's see where it goes.

And since everyone is only into blogs for the pictures... I'll leave with a teaser from the cruise.
