Time for a cold one. Got any big plans for the weekend?
High school football has started in TX, and so has band. M y boys are excited to be performing with a smaller pep band tonight (no marching on the field) and we will all be attending the game. Should be fun. Austin Symphony is also working this weekend, a kind of boring (to me) Beethoven concert, followed by a pops show with Austin icons !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . That should be a lot of fun too. Also F1 weekend, and college football, and Bundesliga (if you’re into that sort of thing). It’s almost starting to feel like a proper fall.
As for the beer trucks, I must confess to drinking a fair amount of Schaefer beer in grad school. Not the greatest beer, but it was cheap, and fit right into my graduate student budget alongside the ramen and peanut butter toast (but not ramen and peanut butter toast together, that would be weird). Haven’t had Schaefer in years, though.
Sing along with me, Oppo! Schaefer is the one beer to have, when you’re having more than one!
Y’all take care.

I had half a (small)
bottle of Dr. Pepper earlier today.
Hoping to get the oil pan installed in the Civic after work. I was hoping to get it done during lunch (+1
advantage
of working from home), but that didn’t happen. I’m hoping to get all the car stuff done and out of the way so I can start working on a box-joint jig for my table saw, which will be necessary for my next project (a dresser for my youngest daughter).

It is! And when I can stop pretending to work I think I’m going to take advantage of the cooler weather and help myself to a wee dram of Lagavulin.

I’m doing my first Oppo-invite ramble tomorrow. Only one person is apparently coming, a friend of mine locally who doesn’t write nearly enough content here relative to his menagerie.

I’ll be waiting until after the game, sadly.

I was in the pep band in high school myself. Of course it was a small school so there was really only one “band” that did everything. What I mostly remember are our valves freezing during late season games, but your guys don’t have to worry about that.

This should be a full-on marching band, but there was no summer band, no show to learn, and many of the kids are choosing not to participate (it’s voluntary). It will get cold, though, but not valve-freezing cold. Unless it gets shut down, we’ll be playing into December for the first time ever.

Dusty Autozam makes me sad. Who is it here on Kinja?

The renovations on our house are approaching the point where we can move back in, so we’re starting to pre-position stuff back from the rental place.
Plus I’ve got some fencing to do.

Yard work/general screwing around with projects tomorrow, church (outdoors and socially distanced) on Sunday and a cold beer right now. Most importantly though I am surprising the wife with an in house “date” in which I will be cooking and we will have a candlelit dinner on our porch. I’m even going to wear a shirt with buttons for the full effect.
Weekends, even as a teenager, have never meant more to me than they do in 2020.

I like the cut of his jib. A Bolt, an Autozam, a Miata, an MR2, and some Japanese van I don’t recognize? Sign me up!

I’ve been simmering a big dutch-oven of ragu bolognese since just after lunch. T his weekend will be rainy so it will be perfect for a spaghetti and garlic bread dinner one night!

This is also hiding around the corner.
And a close-up of the Suzuki Every Turbo RZ Multi Roof (rebadged as an Autozam).

MR2 is actually an Eclipse.

Heavily distorted image because panorama. Honestly the only vehicle in there I recognize on sight is the Miata, so trust me that wasn’t criticism.
The only reason I knew it was an Eclipse is we drove it to Illinois last weekend in hopes of buying an XJ.

The man clearly loves his Japanese minitrucks. They’re the kei to his heart (pun shamelessly stolen off another commenter).
Every Turbo is an RZ Multiroof. If only that could be true without a play on words.

We met because he owned a Jimny that I spotted in a parking lot and posted in comments on the FP.
So, yeah, he has a bit of a thing for JDM trucks.

“bit of a thing" is an understatement. Kinda like saying you have a bit of a thing for Jeeps or you have a bit of a repair history on your LJ.

Had planned on doing yard work, mow, dethatch and aerate the lawn, but Mrs. Twowheels wants to do a leaf peeping trip in the mountains. Most likely another drive up the Kancamagus Highway, a sem i annual event. Her birthday is next weekend, so I guess this is probably the best time to do it.
