It's official.
Al has insurance.
Will have to get off a little early to go home and get the car, but we'll see what we can do.
Looking for a green and white santa hat....

Albert and homer i will have to be there. Albert has a special place in my heart.  :'( As far as homer goes i was always on the lookout for him on the side of the road out of gas. Brings back memories.

Homer won't make it.  :'(  This time it's not because he's out of gas, it's because he has a full tank of gas . . . that I put in the tank when I left the Ringgold parade last year.  I haven't had the time or energy to drain it and clean out the carb.  Plus the left taillight is still off of it . . . and it's collected a years worth of junk.  I'll have some time off at the end of the month and I promise to get Homer back on the road.  I may make the parade in the Passat . . .

Put the tag on yesterday, (It was my Anniversary, so I had no time at home after work...)
Wifey and I have been together 15 years, greatest time of my life!
Any way, will be getting off a little early today and going home to get Al.
Still have to dig out the santa hat from storage....

Homer or not, I hope you are able to make it, Zen!

Everyone put on some club magnets too if you got 'em.

Weak. I'm pretty sure you had to do all of that stuff last year for the same parade. Has Homer not been touched since last Christmas?

Either way, you have a tow bar...

And yes, he's been touched . . . I've been using him as a storage building for the past year.  Every couple of weeks I open one of his doors and shove something else inside.  It would take me a week just to clean it out.   :)
