3C here.

I'm not a fan of winter. I need to learn to snowboard better.

It's like 35f here. I'm too lazy to do the math.

I live 5 miles from town to the west, off of Blueberry Hill. Don't know why they call it that, haven't seen a single blueberry bush up there.

We WERE going to build, but that was last week!! we changed our mind when we saw the lot.





I personally don't think its that bad, especially now that I see the photos again. but the house/cabin we want to build won't go on that lot - bottom line. biggest problem, as you will see in the first pic (maybe) are the powerlines that go right over my truck there. that's the lower lot boundry and means that we are not allowed to build on a good section of the lot. There's also quite a bit of noise from the highway, which you can't see in the photo.

So we sort of went back to the old house in town we were looking at originally. put another offer in on Saturday. it needs a lot of work so there's a limit to how much we want to pay for it. it is really centrally located though and did I mention 3GARAGES?? definitely place for the 930 to hide out during the long scandinavian winters.

I can't sleep. It's down to 0c and heading -2c.


Found how to check it in my phone.



Never been out in that side of town. Looks like you have a perfect view though. I mean my folks have a decent view for around here. But the weather up there is much better.

when you get up, that's when I know I should be doing something more than drinking coffee.

Turbo version of my car, but in much better condition.

Jeff, stop looking around, you'll only find better cars than the one you bought.
It's always like that

well, I can't import a car newer than 1980 anyways. if I did it would be a 2004 or something like that which you can get for the same price.

I'm looking for my next project through. two things on my list: a real clean, original california/Florida late 70's 911 which I should be able to get for around $15K and a 73 RS clone, which will be a bit more of a project. the 911 is something I'm sure I could do really well on as an investment. I saw one sell here a month or so ago that was really nice.

Porsche : 911:eBay Motors (item 160382222025 end time Dec-04-09 17:49:22 PST)

Seems like the wing is just all wrong on that car, or is it just me? interior as well?

So, you have a girlfreind right?, and you NEVER look at other girls? at least my 930 won't get jealous!

Just got a call from the real estate agent. the other buyers are stalling at our first bid. bad news for them 'cause we are prepared to go WAY higher if needed. Agent is trying to get in touch with the seller to close the deal (he will of course drag it out as long as possible). he thinKs we should be able to get it done today! if we get it for the price we are at now, there'll be lots left for the renovations.

and maybe another p-car
