Mission

A good friend once said to me: "If a door opens in front of you - get off your ass and dance through it...laughing."

I'm trying, Nancy!

Jellybean

I wish I'd taken "before" pictures of the jellybean  because it really was in bad shape.  It's been sitting outside in the weather for a few years now so it had lots of rust, and the red paint was so oxidized it looked pink.  But sadly, I didn't think to snap a picture.  So here's the Miata in the body shop.  The rust has disappeared and the primer has been applied.  By next week it'll be all shiny and new again



I wanted to paint it orange, but changing colour would've been a lot more work and therefore a lot more expensive, so we're sticking with red.  That's okay.  It'll be shiny!!   Next step is a new soft top for it, then it'll be ready for the road again.

And because the body shop is close to Edo, we stopped for lunch.  Mmm...mmm... good!


Spent the rest of the day tossing a tennis ball into the canal for Taz and swatting mosquitos.  Got a squillion bites - man they're vicious!  Note to self:  Don't leave these in the van!


And, just because she's pretty, here's Taz.
Oh my, look how white our little girl's muzzle is getting.

Oh, Taz, time for some no-more-white touchup! They must make that for dogs. The miata looks beautiful already! You guys will have to take me for a ride in that some day, I bet it's fun!

You've never ridden in Jellybean? No, I guess I always had the dog with me and it's only a 2-seater. It is a fun little car! Not the vehicle you take to go shopping at Costco though. I kind of like the white urban camouflage look too.
It's not just Taz's muzzle that's turning white - she's starting to get a mask around her eyes too.
