Random update

I havent posted here in a long time. I have a 14 month old son. Once he hit the ground, my car time just kind of dried up. Moved from north of Houston(Cypress), to south of Houston(Pearland) to be closer to our in laws who can help us much more than my parents.

We got a contract on the Cypress house, so I made the last trip to get my car stuff out of the garage. Of course I ASSuMEd the keys would be in it since there is no engine/tranny. No such luck. Took the shaft off the rack, and pulled it on the trailer with a come-along. So much fun.



Hopefully I can get some time and get this thing a new engine sometime soon.

At least you kept the car and have it to work on.  My sister in law lives in Victoria TX, not sure if that is close?

Nah, not really, Victoria is probably a couple hours southwest along the coast. My Inlaws have a condo down past in Port Aransas, and Victoria is about the halfway point. We never stop there though. There is a Buc-ees about an hour north of Victoria that you have to stop at when traveling 59. You guys would probably die laughing at that. Its a huge gas station that has fudge, dozens of types of beef jerky, all kinds of gifts. They were voted something like the clenest bathrooms in the country or something.
