Get me a ticket for an aeroplane~

Man! I can't believe we're only two weeks out from shiny pony time at Frolicon in Atlanta. Oh there shall be many many many pics of shiny pony I suspect. Some of which will end up here with most ending up on the -other- site for shiny rubber pony.
The 65 Mustang is long gone at this point. Honestly nothing feels different for me on that front other than watching an episode of Counting Cars where they worked on a 67 Mustang was something I couldn't make it through. Aside from that the funds replenished my savings, paid for the last of the pony gear annnd got me a few parts on order which have arrived... now I just need to have a few weekends to work on it when mom isn't barging in to make me fix things on the house and the condo like usual. :P
Work has still been kind of hit and miss. Basically I burned through all my saved up vacation to avoid running short on hours and short on checks. The flipside is they gave me the biggest raise I've seen yet which is saying something since those are percentage based and inherently quite a bit more as I keep climbing the compensation ladder. Now if we can get the house sold and kill the loans on that and the condo I might actually get to do something with that raise...
Sharks are gonna miss the playoffs for the first time in 10 years or so. I'd love to say I'm shocked or saddened by it, but I was expecting them to suck this year so no biggie. Plus I'm being good about not spending a damn dime on them after that playoff collapse last year which was my sworn goal.
Still sticking with/increasing workouts. Not doing anything crazy with it, but I'm supposed to be doing them daily and it's taken me two months to ramp up to being able to do that and not be gimpy as all fuck for the next couple of days after. It's nice to see my recovery time has improved so much and stamina is coming around that I don't need to take as many breaks. Can't believe it's been almost 4 months without Carl's Jr, Wendy's or Popeyes! I miss my old friends!... actually that's not true I don't feel the urges so badly anymore for it now that things are normalizing.

Shes selling the ST, and trading in the 03 Outback LL Bean wagon for a new suby.
Tho I'm working on paying her for the 76 CJ5 Jeep.
Hope all is well with yah bud. need to come visit you again.
Edit: Oh wait, I'll see you at FWA, right?
I was wondering how the ST sale was going. I've been just stunned at how damn hard it is to find a set of the Recaros on the secondary market. The only lead I had on a set was a UK version of the Fiesta and it had popped one of the side airbags on the seat. Between the damage, shipping and conversion between currencies it wasn't worth the hassle.
YES YES YES LETS GO ISLANDERS
