Man Cave » Autos http://www.man-cave.net Because being a man is nothing to be ashamed of Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:24:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 A New Car http://www.man-cave.net/2010/05/10/a-new-car/ http://www.man-cave.net/2010/05/10/a-new-car/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 18:22:26 +0000 glocker http://www.man-cave.net/?p=81 We just got 2 new cars - new to us anyway. My wife got a Honda and I got a 1962 Buick Special station wagon. My favorite is the Buick but I gotta admit the Honda is a lot more fun to drive. The only problem is I don't have room in my Man Cave, uhm, garage to park them so now the wife is all over me to get the garage cleaned out. That won't solve all my problems though because it means I'll have to move the Valiant and my Barracuda outside. I don't really want to park the Barracuda outside and I'm sure my neighbors don't want to look at my ugly Valiant parked in the driveway. I'm thinking I need a bigger garage...

YES!!! Should be a nice 2 week vacation for all of us. I'm taking Thursday and Friday off and the following week. I'm hoping to finish cleaning the Cave and spending a lot of time working on my model airplanes. I love building and flying model airplanes but with a wife and two kids it's hard to get anything done sometimes. Hopefully with no honey-do's to do for 2 weeks I can get at least 1 into flying condition. I'm also hoping to get my Plymouth Barracuda back from the shop during the time they're gone, but that has run into a few snags so I'm not sure.

Even though I'm going to be without adult supervision it's not going to be one big party. I'm actually planning on starting a program of walking to lose weight. I really need to lose my gut and I figure if I can lose 10 or 15 lbs while the wife is away, she'll be so thrilled she won't notice how much money I spent while she was away. I'm also thinking about taking a couple of days to go to Bishop, CA. I really love it down there but my wife doesn't really like to go there. It would be nice to visit without having to drag her along to a place she doesn't enjoy.

When I finish I'll have room for both my Barracuda and Valiant, plus room to work on my airplanes and various electronic projects and just plain relax. Oh, and drink beer. I'm looking forward to winter because the beer stays cold. My wife just let me spend a ton of money rebuilding a nice 318 for the Barracuda so I don't want to piss her off by buying a refridgerated beer storage unit for the Man Cave.
