I'm jealous! :-P
*grin* I'm leaving the office now to start my 3 day vacation (5 if you count the weekend). Finally decided to take some time off and have fun with my kids. I'm taking them to the county fair tomorrow for food and rides. :-D
See you all later tonight!
Well, he went to Jerusalem! He sent me this nice picture.
Good for you!! The girls are gonna love it!
Cragar is a respected maker of racing wheels (you'll need racing tires, too). And a performance kit is an engine hop-up kit. You could probably use some of the performance stuff they put on VW dune buggies. You don't want a plain-vanilla VW, do you? :)
Heh! At this point, I'd settle for a VW that actually rolled!
My mom has wheels that look like daisies on her yellow New Beetle. I had to drive the stupid thing while home over Christmas.
You HAD to? Somebody put a gun to your head? ;-)
Several times I was asked to run errands and such, so yeah, I had to.
Also I went to see a friend once and Dad wouldn't let me use his car. And my little sister had to use the family suv because the other cars are standard transmissions. So that was a use it or don't go case but I wasn't forced there.
At least you didn't have to walk! Or ride a unicycle...
I'd love New Beetle too...but talk about impractical with these two boys just growing and growing! Maybe a Jetta Wagon?

Hah, it's my mom's special car, the one she got when we were finally old enough to drive, or to stay home with the little ones. I think she really loves being able to ride around with only one or two of us at a time.
That does sound appealing! I love having one of my boys up in front with me. But they usually sit in the middle or back of the van and I can't hear a word they're saying...
When Matthew was a baby, I put his carseat (backward as required) in the front passenger seat of my Cavalier and would drive holding his hand. He'd stare up at me and I just held his hand all the time. I couldn't believe my luck. He he!
Heh....I'm a Scottish Terrier: http://gone2thedogs.com/game/preloader.swf
Evening!
Good evening!
I want some pinto beans! I guess I oughta cook some up.
Got a slow-cooker...any idea how I should go about it?
Evenin' comrades... from the Soviet of California...
Arggggh.
You want 'em now?
I don't have a slow cooker. I just soak them overnight, or I soak them while I'm at work. I drain them in the collander. Then I simmer them with some salt and some fat-back - bacon will do...or some bacon grease. Or you could just skip the fat (but it won't taste as good.) Simmer for about an hour or until tender. I like to add chopped onion for the last 10 or 15 minutes or so.
