Seen on our company’s internal website. Click to see it full size. I cut it off but part of the text said “(our company) celebrates the beginning of Spring with it’s(sic) annual “Cinco de Mayo e-social”. Damn, I didn’t know Cinco de Mayo was the start of spring. I thought it celebrated something else. Don’t even get me started on that stray apostrophe in ‘it’s’.

Today was my wife’s birthday. We didn’t do much because I had to work and I’m also sick with a cold. We did go to Cool River Cafe for dinner. I had an absolutely wonderful chicken fried venison and she had chicken. For dessert we had bread pudding. I love bread pudding and am always in search of it. It was good but I think I prefer the pudding from Razzoo’s more.
Her gifts included a new Rio Cali from my parents to replace the one she lost a couple of weeks ago. She left her old one on the spare tire of my Defender and I drove to work before we realized what happened. She was rather upset about losing it. She also got an electronic pedometer from me and a Nightmare Before Christmas poster from our son.

If you look in the newest batch of photos on the website wreckedexotics.com you’ll see my wrecked Defender has its own little page. Kinda cool in a fucked up sort of way.
This weekend I spent money like I had it. I was ordering parts for the Defender to get it put back together after the crash two weeks ago. I know some folks that can help with the bodywork and paint so we’ll be working on that once the new body panels come in that I ordered. I also ordered a new suspension(spring, shocks, bushings, etc.), new Heavy Duty brakes(crossdrilled and vented rotors and kevlar pads), some chequer plate armor for some vulnerable panels, new side lights that got smashed, and more I’m sure I’m forgetting. Once the new suspension is in place I’ll be able to get new tires I desperately need because the ones I have were damaged in the accident also. I can’t get the new tires until the new suspension is in because I’ll have to fit larger tires to keep the truck’s proportions correct. If I fit the same size tires with the 2″ of lift I’ll get then they’d look small and out of place.
I still have a good chunk of change left and may order a new brush bar/winch combo plus some more underbody protection. I may even have enough to add some lockers front and rear. It will be one pimpin’ ride when all is said and done.
