Big Daddy B's Brand New Ride

BEFORE
Many of you may not know this, but my father is a very frugal man. He has driven this truck (pictured above), and a red one in a similar condition, since I have known him; that is a very long time. Let me explain this condition, because although a picture may speak a thousand words, It cannot truly tell you that this spray painted, rusted out, 10MPG hooptie was my father's prime mode of transportation. His reasoning? "It still runs doesn't it?" And he's right, that thing ran and ran and ran and ran and ran. It's still running... with no heat, floorboards that you can see the road pass by between your feet and an AM/FM radio that works only if you drive NNE. If that isn't enough, allow me to tell you about the time where the 'Old Blue' got stolen from in front of my dad's house.

The thieves RETURNED the truck!! Just Sayin'.

AFTER

Anyway, I am proud to announce that my father finally decided he was tired of driving an old rusted out clunker and that he deserved better. By the Grace of God He ran into a family friend, who just happened to be a Chevy Dealership Owner, and Pop expressed his woes. Thanks to Mr. GMC my Daddy is now the proud owner of a 2003 Chevy Extended Cab Silverado. 4-Wheel Rear Wheel Drive, heated seats and XM Radio. Let's give a round of applause for BDB!!! Welcome to the 21st Century Dawg.

Kielbasa Fried Rice

It was a very low key funday. Blackjack and Kansas City Chief went bike shopping today so there was no brunch. Sad. So we did Happy Hour instead. And by Happy Hour I mean it's Kim Chi's birthday! Yay! Cheers baby, let's go make Chicken Wings and Mambo Sauce!

LaQueishah and Becky 4.1

A very conniving District convinced me to go on a training run with him this morning. I was super nervous as I am very self-conscious when I run with people. But the trainer put me at ease immediately and before I knew it, this Sister and her gimp friend ran a whole 4.1 miles!! We are now rewarding ourselves with brunch at the local CoHi gastropub. So much for cardio.

International Foods Isle?

This is the "Mexican" Isle at the Front Royal food store. Goya is not an option in these parts. The "Chinese" isle consists of Top Ramen and La Choy canned entrees. Just kidding...I think
