The reason for not writing much on the blog is because Instagram has absorbed the entirety of my social networking life. It's fast, elegant, personal, and relatively low on bull shit. I like it a lot. You think up a clever (or not so clever) sentence or two to go with your picture, add related hash tags, and bam, done! If you want to see me on Instagram look me up at "Kasey_Clyde_dot_com".
-So I just looked back through my Instagram pictures for the past few months and we really have done a lot.-
Here's a walk through:
- Golfing:
- Got some silver hawk clubs from Amber's dad that were quickly replaced with some Callaway Big Bertha's also from her dad. Score!
- Transmission rebuild:
- I dropped the tranny from the 02 Silverado and I'm currently in the process of rebuilding (which is almost done) and reinstalling.
- "New" truck:
- Got a flat black 93 chevy 1500 single cab step side truck to drive while the 02 is being fixed. Its pretty awesome and has a nasty v8 in it with straight pipe exhaust. Love it!
- Divorce:
- Woohoo! Time for a new chapter of life!
- Sailing:
- Trips on Happy Day and I took the kids out on the Buck Board and the 8ft Pram dinghy. All awesome trips!
- Farm animals:
- The compound slaughtered meat chickens, which were delicious.
- We added meat ducks, which we are currently picking off systematically. And I have to say these ducks are by far the stupidest animals on the farm and I feel like we are putting them out of their misery when we harvest one.
- A brown chicken that we thought got picked off by a predator turned out to have been hiding in the barn and emerged with 8 baby chicks in tow. Unfortunately, Hercules (being the cold blooded wiener dog killing machine that he is) took out two chicks. He was on the compound shit list for about two weeks after that.
- Lastly we lost our goat guard dog "Tank" to cancer and had to get another. The new dog's name is "Chewie" and he is doing a fine job so far even though he is still a puppy.
- 1965 Chevy C10:
- We finally got Pop's Dad's chevy truck from it's tomb in the woods where it has rested for 20 years.
- Epcot:
- We drunk it up at Epcot for Jonah's Birthday and got to see Smash Mouth again in concert!
- K1 speed Orlando:
- For Austin's birthday we went to K1 speed in Orlando to race electric go karts. It was a lot of fun. You might be thinking that electric go karts wouldn't be that fun but I assure you they were faster than your skill level could make use of. It was a blast!
- Animal Kingdom:
- For Aaliah's birthday we went to (you guessed it) Animal Kingdom. Another awesome Disney adventure thanks to little sis Carey.
- Longboarding:
- Not boarding as much as I would like but I plan to fix that soon
- Bicycling:
- Inverness has a great biking trail, and great restaurants ( like Mcleod House Bistro) that Amber and I love to visit.
- Weightlifting:
- I've gotten pretty serious about weightlifting because I have never been very muscular and I want to change that. With the aid of the phone app. Jefit, I have been steadily working out 3-4 days a week and i'm really hooked.
- Car Shows:
- Ah, one of the best parts of fall. Ocala Pumkin Run, and Daytona Turkey Rod Run. I love car shows and these are great.
- Welding:
- Between building a drift trike from old bicycles to fixing trailers I have slap ran the welder out of wire. I like welding a lot more than I thought that I would.
- Fishing:
- Thanks to Amber's Dad I have been going fishing about every other week and there is nothing I love more than being out on the water.
- Bearding:
- I'm cultivating a pretty epic beard. I don't know how far I will go with this but we will see.
- Bartending:
- I finally broke down and I'm back at redsauce bartending 3 days a week. I really missed bartending and i'm glad to be back in that capacity. Also there has been enough time since the sale of the restaurant, the money is good, and I miss a lot of the customers. It is what it is.
- Amber started bartending at her restaurant too and is loving it. She's a natural at bartending and has also become a certified server trainer. She's amazing!
- Shooting:
- At thanksgiving we did our annual clay pigeon shoot. We shot pistols and AR's as well as the shotguns. This only reminding me how much of a diminishing skill shooting is and lit a fire in me to get my edge back.
- New Computer/Gaming:
- We got a second computer so we didn't fight over them while gaming. I've always been a big gamer and having a laptop with some serious hardware is a huge for me.
Well...there you have it. Our plate has been full, but full of good stuff. We don't plan on slowing down any time soon either!
