So, tell me about your Sunday

Hung over from a party in ATL Saturday night. Tried to watch football while dealing with terrible twos.

Went to the range (Saturday tho, close enough)

Got up ran 4.2 miles in prep for my 10K on Thanksgiving, glugged down a protein shake then an hour of Yoga. Hungrily had some brunch. Actually spent time on my project car. Worked on covering the headlining, the sunroof panel, door inserts and cargo cover. Then went to see Thor with the family. House work, walk the dog then a nice relaxing soak in the tub. A good day.

Went for a mountain bike ride in gorgeous sunshine, then installed the new LS3 in the Targa Miata.

Drove home from Vegas.

Got pulled over...

DIDN'T GET CITED!

Nope, I spent the weekend under a challenge car that wasn't even mine....Ben(SFO) has a lot of work cut out for him the next few days, so don't expect to see him here.

Put the Exploder and Rex into Winter mode. Cue the snow tires and flaps:

I spent 3 hours on the mower (for the last time of the year). Then we "winterized" by exchanging summer stuff for winter stuff (power washer for the snow blower, fans for heaters etc) from the garage to the shed.

After I got that done, I finally got to go out and put a few rounds through the newly modified Model 11. Fun gun that one.

Let's see, Sunday I did the following:

1. Replaced a door knob on the door to my deck.
2. Repaired a loose towel rack in my bathroom. PO did not seem to grasp drywall anchors.
3. Fixed the vanity light fixture in my son's bathroom.
4. Removed three rotten boards from the top of the outdoor shower enclosure. Needed to replace them with new which I haven't done yet.
5. Sanded and painted an old paddle to use as a household decor item.
6. Made my plan to turn some of the weathered wood from #4 above into a sign to go above the kitchen sink. Just got a new router - needed a project,
7. Went next store and got my neighbor's chinese scooter that won't start to troubleshoot it. Got the side panels and seat off, replaced a portion of the fuel line. Put the battery on a trickle charge, and read on the internet about scooter carbs. (it has spark, compression, and fuel going to the carb). Will work on the scooter a bit more tonight when I'm finished with work.
8. Added air the miata tires. The RF was down to 25#.
9. Enjoyed the nice 70F sunny day - took the miata to the local Mexican restaurant for some dinner.

Saturday was a bit busier. Where I made some alterations to my son's beach wheelchair. Need to get it down to the beach to test it out soon.

My wife and our youngest were a bit under the weather, so I took the remaining kids to church, then had food with the whole family, laughed at the Bengals finding new and interesting ways to lose at football, had more food with the family, then put the kids to bed and taught myself how to use those Aluma-Weld rods from harbor freight to build new intercooler piping for the turbo neon. Oh, and before I went to bed I put up the surplus track lighting that we got from my parents' kitchen renovation about, uh, 10 years ago or so and have been meaning to put up in the basement ever since.

Sunday was nice! Kids slept in, got chores done, contractor gave us good news, listed a bazillion things on fleabay, went to the car parts store, played with the kids at a park, had some good food, and topped it off with a Marine Corps Birthday Party.

This weekend I....

Spent way more money than I have on anything else in my life (ignoring cars), and it isn't even for me.
Moved the girlfriend into her new house.
Dealt with the girlfriends parents all day Saturday and Sunday (what a pain)
Drove 45 miles back to my house, reffed two hockey games, realized I left my wallet at the girlfriends, and drove 45 miles back last night to retrieve said wallet. So I had an hour long commute this morning.

Kids slept in

berkeley you.

I spent the morning working on the 951, pulled the intake, etc. to try and pull the turbo off to fix it.

Wife was off Antique shopping with her friend who just bought a new house. Wife called me a little while after she left to come down and look at some of the furniture with her.....

By 6pm we had a new bedroom set delivered and a huge ding on our credit card.

So much for doing the landscaping we'd been getting quotes for and the big euro trip we'd been saving up for is likely off or greatly scaled back (meaning no LeMans and just doing a tour bus with a bunch of old people, meh).

Went to church and out to lunch with friends from church, headed up to Cinci with the girlfriend and met up with eastsidemav to go to IKEA (she'd never been before...), then dinner and buying way too much unhealthy but fun and interesting food at Jungle Jim's before driving back home.

I spent most of Sunday at the intersection of 50-year-old plumbing and 20-year-old repairs.

No kids. Sleep in EVERY weekend I don't have to get up early for auto-x.

Went to church, watched the Lions beat da Bears for the division lead, tried to recover from 4 hours of yard clean up on Saturday, took the Miata for a last spin around the block. Good thing too, started snowing today.

In reply to cwh:

suggest next time to blow the cop instead of the breathalyzer. wouldn't say that if (1) your daughter and (2) you had never before posted about her stellar judgement.

Not much chance she would do that. Gay. I would not, either. Not gay.

Worked Saturday, watched Zero Dark Thirty Sat night, got up early Sunday, drank coffee and caught up on the world news. Researched all manner of bits n' pieces on teh int3rw3bs thus finishing the shopping list for the Jensenator and the next step of the GT6 swaps. Then fixed the bad trans mount on the Trooper, did a little light cleaning and then broiled steaks with the kiddo.

Got up at 5:30am to study for a Sunday School Class I teach (Datsun310Guy is also BibleThumperGuy) - taught class, attended services, went home and ate leftovers, took a nap, woke up more tired and confused, missed a Deacon's meeting and Sunday evening services because of the nephew's birthday pizza party, took another nap at 10:15pm and woke up confused at 10:45pm when the Korean daughter ditched me and left me sleeping on the couch.

I had my 14 yr old nephew for the weekend. We went out for breakfast, took the Fiat for an inspection and snow tires. Then we carried out all our crates to decorate for Christmas and spent the rest of the day building a shed from pallets. We grilled some burgers for dinner then watched Spaceballs and Smokey and the Bandit.
