Sometimes, as the dust settles on your adventures, you forget the thrill of exploring areas that you have never set foot on before. You go on with your routine, and the time between trips stretches longer and longer - and the enthusiastic sensation you felt while traveling, gets dull with time.]]>jlr@raymundo.comNone2009-08-08T21:27:38-07:00http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/1911f5891be3a467bb7dc8786d7c31e8-32.html#unique-entry-id-32http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/1911f5891be3a467bb7dc8786d7c31e8-32.html#unique-entry-id-32After about 13 years of sitting in my parents garage, I finally towed my jeep to San Diego. It runs and all I need to do is get it smoged! Then I got to find someone who can give me some pointers on welding some brackets to mount the back seat. My total budget for the Jeep is around 5K... but since I don’t have 5k, Its going to take a LOOOOOOOOOONG while. Here’s what I want to do:

Remove the inside carpeting & apply LineX Bedliner to the whole interior
Remove the roll cage and grind down rough edges and re-shoot the whole thing flat black. Install nice padding to the bars.
Fabricate brackets for the driver side chair. Find some used floor brackets, clean, paint & install.
Buy a cover for the jeep
Get the missing parts for my SuperTop
Find used used hood, fenders in good condition.
replace body mounts
replace welded bumper
Rebuild Transmission & Transfer case
Redo Dash
Replace factory lights with new halogens
replace wheels and tires


Guess thats it for now...

It has become a link to my childhood that I hope one day to share with my son. When I was a child, I would accompany my father while he and his friends combed the beaches of the SF Bay Area in the pursuit of Giant Striped Bass. I remember watching my father step into his waders, put on his canvas high tops with the toes cut off, wrap his military style ALICE web gear with his various "mickey mouse" and krocodile spoons and fling a 12-13 foot surf rod way past the breakers. At that time, fishing wasn't nearly as interesting as playing with all the unique stuff he staged on the beach. More often than not, I would either play with my dad's tackle and most likely destroy or make it harder for my father to fish.]]>jlr@raymundo.comFishingNoah2008-07-31T12:47:37-07:00http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/a6fc823a1f02898453ac059e0dd58d33-26.html#unique-entry-id-26http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/a6fc823a1f02898453ac059e0dd58d33-26.html#unique-entry-id-26

Here’s the caveat. Although I really dig motorcycles, I can’t STAND the noise they make. I’m generalizing pretty broadly stating that all motorcycles are loud. In fact, most probably aren’t. Its only those damn Harley Davidson bikes. I don’t care that they are beautiful bikes. They are obnoxious. You could be in your car, with the music blaring, with a fire engine on your ass and the only thing you can hear is that damn Harley sharing your lane. Whats worse than that? I live on the edge of my town which borders a nice scenic drive through a forested canyon. Its a great drive. Its so great, that every weekend dozens of bikers roar through it stopping at the first stop sign before town, accelerating heavily down the next straight away. Its loud. Its obnoxious and it wakes up my kid every time. I guess thats the worst part. It means I have to get up too...

Anyway - We were hanging out at the campsite and we found Noah abnormally quiet - and as all parents out there know, a quiet child is either hurt or is up to no good. I looked around and found Noah in the cab area of the van looking very focused. At the same time, I acknowledged his amusing face and realized he was shoving a quickbooks cd into the van's cd player. I grabbed the cd, in which I though was the nick of time only to realize later that there were 3 other cd's shoved into a single compact disc audio player. Not good.

We spent a good hour or so trying to remove the cd to no avail. I was getting upset and then I realized that he had done exactly what I had done over 27 years ago. Instead of multiple CD's into the cd player, I had inserted toothpicks and paperclips into the ignition switch. So as much as I needed him to learn it wasn't correct, I smiled inwardly remembering he is almost exactly as I was. I can hear my parents rolling around laughing and saying "What goes around comes around..." They're exactly right.

Today was a milestone in our family. Noah got his first pair of slippers. I guess its not a big thing for most people, except that we live for the beach. This week we went 3 times to play, and two times to check the surf and today to buy his flops at Hansen's. ]]>jlr@raymundo.comMisc2008-03-22T13:04:18-07:00http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/9378417ba90eeccbdacf0278e958db28-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/9378417ba90eeccbdacf0278e958db28-4.html#unique-entry-id-4When Nicole first approached me with having a garage sale two years ago, I threw it up there with the rest of her crazy ideas. Who the heck wants to get up at 6:30am and sell anything? Who in their right mind wants to go buy stuff from someone else at 6:30 in the morning? Well, having done this a couple times... many people. Its unbelievable how many people are looking for that one particular thing that is no longer sold in stores. Maybe its someone who is just looking for a deal. The bottom line is -- garage sales work on multiple levels.]]>jlr@raymundo.comMisc2008-03-02T22:29:31-08:00http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/59136403984146c13be7e56020b2b6d8-1.html#unique-entry-id-1http://www.raymoo.com/news/files/59136403984146c13be7e56020b2b6d8-1.html#unique-entry-id-1Its spring cleaning time and I'm getting rid of things in my garage.
