Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s Thanksgiving here today and I thought I would mention how grateful I am for my family.

The two girls are living their own lives in different states, so it’s just Tira and I with Nicholas this year. It’s our smallest Thanksgiving ever! 🙂

But it was a good day. Nicholas and I worked on the Mustang, Tira cooked, and then we all ate… A LOT! Shay came by after dinner for some cheesecake.

On the ford we bolted up the first new head and pulled off the second. Didn’t get it replaced before dinner but Nicholas did take time to paint the a/c bracket and another bracket under the hood. Have to replace a couple of studs for accessories on the side of the head,the old ones were stripped out. Hope to mount the head tomorrow and will work on the studs later.

I’ve decided I would like to buy a Jeep.

We’re watching a friend’s dog this weekend. Her and Penne are getting along fine. It’s like having a built in babysitter for the dog… we don’t have to spend near as much time playing with her now.

Finally fixed my damn truck… it’s been missing… the interNet indicated a misfire due to plugs. Looked it up and it seems there is a problem with the design of these Fords and JUST TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS IS OVER 2 HOURS LABOR!!!!!!!

shit. $450 later my truck runs great but really? that is a lot of money for spark plugs! 🙁
And I think it says something about the design of this 5.4L engine when I’m willing to change my own brakes, the rear axle seal and axle bearings, but I’m not willing to change my own sparkplugs.   🙁

Nic and I just went to WalMart on Black Friday… which really starts on Thursday now. Needed some Jeans that were on sale….. Really? When we got there at 9:30 (sale started at 8pm!) there were still HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE in line to check out. 🙁

WoW.

So we came home without jeans, watched some stupid show on TV, played with the dogs, and now? Now I’m off to sleep.

Happy Thanksgiving. 🙂
