Aye, now thats a manly truck!



Today I picked up the truck Warren purchased. It is truly a beast of a truck and is in very good shape. I expected some small dings and such but the body is in near perfect condition. We will be painting it gloss black, it should look awesome! I am kind of concerned about Suzette though. Recently I have noticed her quietly mumbling something about contacting Sheila and between the two of them getting a restraining order against Warren and I ever using eBay or Craigslist again. I am sure she is only kidding, I think.

Apparently I have become my father!

So I woke up this morning, pulled on some comfortable clothes and went down stairs for a cup of coffee. Suzette takes one look at me and starts laughing, she says "Oh my god, you have become your father" and ran for a camera. The worst part is at first I didn't even know what she was talking about, I actually thought I was dressed OK. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, my dad dressed rather unusually. It wasn't uncommon to see him wearing striped pants with a plaid shirt and when you questioned his unorthodox dressing habits he would proudly brag about how he bought his whole outfit for less then a dollar at Goodwill. Its sad to say apparently the apple does not fall far from the tree.
This is "The Hook" AAARRRRR. I went and checked it out when we were camping up north. I almost went out but it was pretty small on that day and I whimped out and sat on the cliff drinking my mocha coffee drink. There was one good set that came in while I was sitting there, with about 5 foot waves which made me feel like a fool for not getting in the water. Then the waves got really flat. But this place definately kicks when the swell is in. I really liked the surfers etiquette sign and had to take a picture of it.

Mr spider says Hi

Tis the season to be stepping on lots of these if you don't watch where you step, we see them everywhere. We love them and try to scoot them off the roads when we see them. They don't always appreciate this as I think they like the hot asphalt.
No post is complete with out a picture of an airplane and a truck. Warren just purchased the Ford F-450 below for our contractors business.


I thought Jason might like to see his truck, I start it regularly and it even has a spot in the barn since I organised the area.

Our camping trip was an adventure.





Here is a few pictures from our camping trip at New Brighton Beach. Yes we had little fat bandits raiding our camp every evening. Here they are chowing down on Polly's dog food. Luke and Matt had fun playing in the water although it would have been nice if it was warmer. We also rode the steam train up a mountain, that was lots of fun.



Halloween or candy overload





Matt and Luke had a lot of fun on Halloween, Matt was dressed as a baseball player and Luke was a stormtrooper. We went trick or treating in Creston then went to a friends haunted house in Templeton where Suzette took the boys on another round of candy gathering. Looks like I may have had a little to much candy myself by the last picture.
