alright, not been to much to update really. the single biggest thing was a vacation we took beginning of Feb. we started with a few days in Florida for wife's little sister getting married, then we headed out for 9 days on a cruise. was my first flights ever, and her first time on a ship that big.
have to say was one of the most incredible trips we have ever had. it will be hard to share just a few of the hundreds of pics we took. our stop a naussu was canceled, but we stopped at Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, st Thomas, st Kitts, and st martin.
but first lest start this trip from the beginning. so here in Michigan at the end of January it was -10 and quite a snowstorm with many inches. a few days before we left it warmed up an rained and was almost no snow left at all , a few days after we were gone it was nearly 50. so thanks again to the Tourettes weather of Michigan. the weather and skys were super clear for the flights down and made my first flights absolutely beautiful!
ok so i guess this will be pictureless till i can figure something out as apparently all my pics are too large to upload directly. i will tell the rest of the story here and if i can get some pics to load i can ut and paste them together in the right spots
we stayed our first night in Wakulla springs, beautiful old mostly marble. hotel that has some neat history (wife and father-in-law used to dive the springs some years ago).. in the morning, we watched some manatee swimming in the springs and when some guys swam around, they came over to see what was up. very neat to watch for sure.
we visited with her grandfather in the morning and drove over to webster where the wedding would be. made a late-night drive after the wedding to Orlando and caught a nap before flying to Miami and getting to the port to board the boat.

I believe this was Dominican
Next two are Meagan's bay in St Thomas. One from above, and one on the beach before we swam
And one of the bay were the ship was docked.

Believe this was Maho bay, ((. We're the planes take off and people get sand blasted as it is on the end of the runway. There are many vids on YouTube of this airport/beach
Got to see the biggest cruise ship currently on the water in the world today at open sea in the Atlantic on the way home. (. Fun fact, it was royal Caribbeans newest/largest, and smallest/oldest at the same time. )
And a cool shot I took

Ok, since we have been back there has been some good progress happening, on a multitude of things. A couple of bright ideas ( retrofits done). Some minor pickup progress, and a couple other personal things that I will share near the end of today's updates.
First thing I did was got the vacation pics on the TV. Man do it look good.
Ordered some Amazon led bi-xenon projectors. Knowing I had a pair of mini H1's and I wanted to do the car and the Denali. I figured for like $80, I would give them a try in one .
They actually seem to have a decent pattern
And this bad ass thing at a local bike shop when I went to look for a new helmet

Ordered some fog lights that came from the same company as the headlights in the Tahoe. And damn do they do a job compared to the crap the car had stock. And they look better.
