I've been gone from OR for about 3 weeks, and it feels good to be home. We spent a week in Monterey, CA prior to getting married, then we spent 2 weeks on Kauai for our honeymoon. The wedding was perfect and fun, and way more emotional that I was prepared for. The honeymoon was a perfect blend of relaxation, exploring, and adventuring.
It's good to be home! I'm still getting settled in, but I'll be sure to check the schedule for the next meet & greet.

 

wb .. congrats...

feel the quake?

 

Congrats to the newlyweds!

 

welcome home!

 

congrats!

LOL I looked at your signature... I wonder who else around here had an xB and 2000 VW beetle they were trying to sell....hmmmmmm

add one more name to the Scion and VW club.

 

Welcome back!

 

 

apparently the VW to Scion coversion is a pretty popular mod....

 

Welcome to the land of the married.. It's wonderful here...

This will work wonders for any marriage... Every morning for the rest of your life, roll over and tell your wife "I'm sorry"... Now your asking why right?... Your apologizing for being a man.... Believe me.. You'll screw up at some point during the day. ya might as well get the apology out early.


Now pack up the wife and head in for some bowling Saturday.. See the thread for the next PDX meet & greet..

 

I'm sorry to hear.....

I mean Congrats!!!

 

congrats on the marriage, I love being married, on my third one, lol, can't help it if they don't like being married to me.

 

Thanks everyone.
We left about 25 hrs before the quake hit, so we got out just in time. My twin brother flew out to the Big Island on Tuesday - he's doing the Ironman this Sat. Apparently, the course was unaffected by the quake.

Singleshot - Thanks for the tip. I know I'm bound to screw up at some point, so I like your logic.

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats

 

AH HA!!
congrats.... welcome to the life of "Anger Management"..... JK

The Dalles ... my old stomping grounds..my youngest still lives there. has a Dodge Warlock....if he ever gets it running again..

will try to look ya up next time I get over there

I'll have to search Dodge Warlock, 'cause I can't picture it in my head. There are a surprising amount of SWEET classic cars here in The Dalles. I'm quite impressed. Of course, there are quite a few classic humans here, too (just based on age) so I guess they just kept their cars. Just kidding.

BTW, the Beetle is my wife's car. She's been driving the Scion lately 'cause it gets better gas milage. I live only a few blocks from work, so I don't really need a car right now. So we thought this would be a good time to get rid of the Beetle. It's a good car, and it's actually pretty fun to drive. (Shhh...don't tell anyone a man just said that about a Beetle. )

 

Hey derk-xb, I used to spend alot of time in The Dalles when I visited family in Oregon, the lived in a small town called Wamic! Have not been there in years! They all live in Bend now.

there are a lot of ex-VW owners here... Nothing to be ashamed of.... I still have my "how to keep your VW alive" book on the shelf. What year beetle is it?

 

It's a 2000 "New" Beetle. 2.0L, auto, and just under 80,000mi. Singleshot, I don't think your "how to keep your VW alive" book is focused on the newer models...or is it?

The Warlock is a special edition 4x4. his is an '78 I think..black with graphics. rather rusty and needs work...

WAMIC!... used to "party hearty" in that neck of the woods......into the "pucker brush we go"...to the tune of "their comming to take me away ha ha hee hee ho ho"
