Architects made the Death Star blow up!

Sounds like the Empire should have hired an engineer instead!  Maybe I should send them my resume....

Yeah, it's really late.  And I've been playing around on hulu.com.  Great site!  Enjoy the clip...

Rack Installation

Matt is a rack nut.  If you've ever seen his Scion, you have a small idea of what he is capable of.  He decided Steph's Jeep needed some "accessories."  With some help from a friend, he racked out Steph's Jeep last weekend.  Check out the process and the aftermath....

Steph's Jeep - First time we've had it "topless"

Yakima's Skull end caps.  When I pulled these out the the box, Steph asked, "Who's car are those going on?"  "Yours," I quickly replied.

Measure twice...

...drill once!

Toby - always willing to help out.  He's our Rack-Dawg!

He's also our Quality Inspector!

Finished product - (Yeah, we bought it used!)

Matt testing his handiwork

Finished product - Doubledown 5 on the hitch, Thule's M.O.A.B. (Mother of all Baskets) on top, carrying a Hi-lift 60" jack

Jeeping

Alright, maybe I told a little white lie. Here are some pictures from our first four-wheeling trip.

Matt is "Thinking Man"

The beautiful desert

Our sweet Jeep!

Our happy boy

A happy wife!

Vacation

I'm sorry for the lack of "postage". We have been on a mini (for Matt) and a maxi (for Steph) vacation. Pictures and updates will come in the coming days. No, I really promise.

Congrats to Austin and Rachel! Happy Wedding! Rachel welcome to the Family - FINALLY!

Congrats to Roy and Emily! Happy engagement! Roy welcome to the family - FINALLY!

New Car

On Friday the 13th we purchased a new car. Well it is used but new to us. I still can't stop smiling! The tires are 35's.
