It doesn't look like that anymore

Check this out!

The past two years

What have I been doing you ask?  Besides working hard for the money, I have been doing my best to be the world's greatest dad.  Luckily, I rank well above drunken, absentee, loser and am closer to the still sort of selfish guy who is really trying to get some sort of an idea of what a dad is supposed to do other than fix stuff.  That in and of itself should pretty much cover the last two years.  I have been working on a car.  I want to see everyone's shocked face.  I know.  I tried to quit, but the tools call to me in the night. I have, in my life, purchased a large amount of my dream cars (really because i had dreams about every car.  even Pintos, exploding is fun too).

The list
1979 Chevrolet Nova (my first)
1964 Chevrolet Corvair (think American VW Beetle)
1979 Chevrolet El Camino (is it a car or truck, who cares it's just awesome)
1972 Buick Skylark (serious luxury, black outside, inside and no A/C, life of luxury)
1972 Chevrolet Chevelle (rokken like dokken)
1996 Toyota Corolla (classic and reliable)
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse (RS 420a motor, that motor makes me want to hork)
2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse (GT silver, leather interior, I bought this car because of a good commercial)
2002 Isuzu Rodeo (anyone who says a $500 car payment is a good idea is lying)
1977 Chevrolet G20 (small apartment van, shag carpet, bed, blinds, creepy)
2000 Chevrolet Malibu (nothing says great car like a security system that randomly shuts the car off)
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse (this one was purple and still have the 420a motor)
1970 Dodge Challenger (mopar is really expensive)
1992 H1 Hummer (desert storm edition, cool, just cool)
1966 Chevrolet C10 (nothing brings back the good 'ol farm life like the crappiest pickup ever)
2004 Crown Victoria (old police car, nothing more need be said)
2002 Ford Focus (limited Ferrari edition, seriously, only one made)


And the current project, drumroll, seriously drumroll, not a windup monkey with cymbols.

1973 Postal Jeep!
Nothing says class like a steaming pile of americana.
I found this gem in a field in Peaster, TX for a steal at $325
I hadn't run in 11 years, but plenty of animals called it home.
Here's a picture

I haven't posted in so long I can't figure out how to post as Richard and not Susan.  So I'l just post as Susan.  I'll have my cute pixie hair and I'll rock with awesomeness.  At least my name will lead you to believe that because really I'm a dude named Richard posting as a chick named Susan.  You seriously have to be careful on the internet.  Not everything is as it appears, or true.  Seriously, heed my warnings.

Choose Happiness

I have never been remotely good at any kind of social media.  So more than a couple of years have gone by and here I am posting to my blog.  Today I chose to be happy.  It was a great day.  Work went well, I gave a fried a ride home, came home to an amazing wife a children and great dinner.  The nuclear family is alive and well in the Whitehouse.  Right now the kids are in the bath and we're enjoying the soundtrack to Wreck it Ralph.  Life is good.
