Best Car Ever!!!


Have you seen such a perfect example of automotive history? It looks like the sweet ride in the Ghostbusters movies! Ali and I found this in a parking lot after we went bowling. Keep your eyes peeled while you're in the Salt Lake Valley and you too can catch a picture next to perfection.

State Fair 2009

Allison had the pleasure of attending the State Fair twice this year! Both times I was stuck fighting crime at the hospital... (probably zoning out to keep my sanity). She was lucky enough to spend time with friends and family enjoying the night seeing the wonderful sights and sounds of Utah. She didn't catch to many photos but she had some funny experiences and ate some interesting food to boot. Here's hoping that I'll make it next year!

baked goods could be created!

Ali is seen here enjoying a frog leg and finally had the chance
to try crawfish and fried Aligator... mmmmm good eats!!!

A NEW KAR!!! Go Kart that is...


So this awesome blue machine has been in my family since I was ten years old and has covered a lot of mileage. Most of my days back then was spent cruising around with my friends in Donner Trail Park. In High school we would strap on Rollerblades and pull people behind for asphalt skiing... a lot more fun than you might expect.

For the past few years this sweet ride hasn't seen much love since only one adult can fit on this thing at a time and the fact that most of us have a car we can legally drive on the streets. With my parents continuing to downsize, I was told that this can no longer be used around their neighborhood or around the St. George house. Since Ali and I live near quiet open streets we were happy to accept my parents offer to have this sweet ride for kicks and giggles.

Lucky for us, Ali took auto shop at Davis High and knows the basics of fixing up an engine. We spent the better half of the day tuning, draining, cleaning and got a majority of the work done to add a third "vehicle" to speed around in. There's still work to be done but so far things have gone smoothly with the purchase of a new filter, oil and some gas. All we really need now is a new spark plug and one un bent tire frame so we can rally around K-town!!!
