    The wedding was awesome, the honeymoon was a much needed vacation to rural pennsylvania where we did absolutely nothing for 1 whole week except eat and shoot shotguns.

    Just ate and shot shotguns? I hope shooting shotguns is code for something else. ;)

    Sadly, no. I mean I took my brothers Mossberg 12 gauge and destroyed a dozen cardboard boxes and skeet with heavy target load. Also took my dads 1930's Savage 3D for some iron-sight target practice.

    We ate mazda-loads of Chinese food, drove all over the back roads that used to be my stomping grounds, and just overall were mega lazy.

    Sure, there was mazdaloads of sex, but we honestly just wanted to sit around and enjoy not having work, email alerts from work, text alerts from work, or doing work at 11pm (maybe just me)


    Also a sneak peek (all I have had time to do, this weekend I should get more done if the weather permits. Been nasty lately)



    I love having such a clean slate to work with on 二回目 because I can actually feel good about beautifying it instead of always being worried about if my transmission is dying or my differential is going to blow up again or if the hole in my oil pan is the cause of my 1QT/month oil loss.

    I missed a few bolts for now, but all the ones needed to hold it on are in place. Example of one I didn't get to:



    I ran out of steam and light, and my manual steering rack was too much for me to handle after holding my hands over my head for ~2 hours.



    These drove me nuts because there was tarmac that had apparently been flung up in here and hardened.

    Finally, I installed my gift from ArtcenterMiata






    My fingers are raw, I am dirty and bug bitten. Bleh, worth it.
