A very merry X-mas

January 13th, 2010

On a totally unexpected note, my dad had my 1967 Comet taken apart and re-painted and some of the interior redone. For about a year now I’ve mentioned selling it and getting one that was a little straighter but he kept talking me out of it. Turns out he was already pulling the dents out! :)

Here are some pictures of it. I would have loved to taken more, but we couldn’t pull it all the way out, it was friggin’ freezing out and it isn’t finished after all. The first picture is me with the car in 2002. You can see the damage just behind the door next to me in that picture. My dad is standing in the way but the dent is all gone, the paint is the original color and hopefully we can find some stock “looking” wheels for it so they too can go white with tinny dog bowl hub caps.

If anyone out there has a good line on a front suspension conversion for these cars (1967 Fairlane, Mustang and Comet all share similar front ends) let me know.

The route is basically a loop, but this one shows me starting at the Reisner Gym. Not right, we started approximatly where the finish shows and ran a loop. Still, it is a 3 mile run of hills.

Normal routine, first image links to the full size, second image links to the Garmin site.

Reisner 5K Run

May 11th, 2009

We did the normal Reisner Gym 5k run route this morning. Not a really hard run, but there are some decent hills that make it a challange none the less.

Here are the screen shots and links:

That reminds me, I’ve had the watch (Forerunner 405) for a while now, and I’ve got some definate bitches and moans about this watch, but mostly it has been wonderful.

Cheers,

Justin
