Dimples is ready to road trip

Hi and great evening (well, technically morning but who is splitting hairs when you don't have much hair to split?)

After much trial and error, Dimples (my Subaru Outback) is running right as rain!

Ever since September 14 I have been having problems with Dimples. He was just not running right and it led to many hours in the garage trying to troubleshoot the problem with out spending large sums amounts of money.

I didn't get to buy any new tools as most projects wort working on allow but I did learn a lot about Subaru engines, how cool they really are, and how to use a voltage multimeter.

I am excited. I am elated. I have a car Nicole will ride in again!

Here is a sample of what I did...

Halloween 2008

So, who does Frankenstein take to the prom?

His ghoul friend!

This was Eliana's first time trick or treating! She was running from house to house yelling "trick or treat!!" at the top of her lungs. We spent the night at my gramma Maxyne's house- their neighborhood goes all out for Halloween, lot's of decorations and festivities. Grandma Ann, Grandpa Tim, Lexi,Tiffany, Michael, Ingrid and Milo all joined in the for the party!
