Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow... Meow Meow

This song has been in my head all morning for some reason.

We just returned from a week long super muddy camping trip. Lots of fun...glad we had 4 wheel drive incredible moon buggy goodness. We would not have made it out without it. It rained every day...so much mud. We were prepared and happily toasty dry and could go anywhere. As it was we drove through and around the impassable roads at the site 3 times on our way oput...because we could :)

Mee hee.

Must do many things now...so much work to catch up on.
When I have a moment I'll be back.
Promise :)

Moon buggy!

As promised...the moonbuggy.

Who is driving car?
Bear is driving car!
How can that be?

Mee hee...this thing is so much fun...

Yipadeee!

We took the moon buggy to get reinspected today. Because the other shop was staffed by jerks, we went to a different vehicle inspector/shop today - one we heard was familiar with Japanese vehicles and with a reputation for being just plain old nice people. And yes, the people were great and friendly.
And, it passed with flying colours.
Yay!
Guess where we'll be going for any repairs on it from now on? :)

Now it just needs a functional stereo and we're good to go...camping modifications to come, but at least she's legal now (yes. it's a she.) and we can escape to the moon to destress if we need to.

Mee hee!!!

Grrrrr

We have 9 days to get our spacepod up to spec for plating. We want to go camping in 7. This poses an issue, no?

The first place we took it said at the last minute that we couldn't get it inspected there because the wheel was on the wrong side (???). The next place we found that could look at it the next day was just grumpy. Even tho it was imported, inspected and fixed up extensively and passed inspection in BC (where they are insanely picky) we happened to get Mr. Jerkwad inspector who kept finding weird things wrong with it...apparently having a cool unique vehicle from Japan is not always joy and giggles.

Sigh.

So we have mere days to get different daytime running lights (even though they are new LED ones we just had installed that other vehicles have ???), a rear light with a reflector in it (because for some reason he felt the one there wasn't bright enough if he stood far away at an angle ???) and a couple other little dumb things.

I just want to drive our moonbuggy into the woods and relax. I have planned destressing breaks throughout the summer to survive the MSc madness and I will explode in a ball of overdistilled subatomic polonium if I can't make them.

*pout pout*

Ah, I'm moping because I'm so tired. There is much to do and I am running out of muchness...

I would like another holiday please...?
