Dave the Blogger

So, in talking to our very own entrepenuer of the family (Chad), I decided that I want to make my blog a little more cool. I decided that I might be on to something, blogging about VW's. I figure if I keep blogging about them, and start telling people about my blog at other VW sites and forums... then I'll maybe generate a little bit of traffic. Then I can start putting Google Ads on there and making an extra $100 per year of cold, hard cash!

So, that's my new plan... but as for now, I think I'll head off to bed so I can wake up extremely early in the morning and go to work. I am, after all, an accountant... and this is, after all, busy season.

So, anyway... peace out! I hope whoever is reading this blog... if anyone is reading it... has a great day!

By the way, I'm the big loser this year in my family's NCAA tourney bracket. I was in last place all the way, and got completely obliterated when my dark horse, UNC, got smoked this weekend. Oh well... at least I've still got two legs, two arms, two eyes, one nose, ten fingers, ten toes, a brain (huge brain, by the way), a beautiful-amazing-cute-fun-smart-funny-strong-supportive-loving wife, three awesome kids that make me happier than anything, and my testimony...
So, I guess the NCAA tourney isn't really that crucial right now.

Well, every person needs a hobby... and I've decided that I know what I want my hobby to be!

VW's!!!

I love them! I love the classics... I can't help but notice them whenever I go anywhere, and I get so excited when I see them. For example... everyday on my way home from work, as I'm coming down this one hill, there is a house I pass that has a few old vw's in the back yard. You can barely see them because of all the trees and stuff. So, I have driven by really slowly a few times to get a better look. One time I even drove over the the neighborhood and knocked on the front door of the house. When noone came, I took the liberty of walking around the side, into the yard and getting a closer look at the old bug and bus. It was a thrill! But, they were pretty thrashed... I do still try to catch a glimpse pretty often as I drive by.

Now, on my drive I've noticed there is a house off of the road a little ways with one baja bug that they drive around and another bug in the side yard, covered with a tarp. Once the tarp was off a little and I got a little peak... but I usually glance down there as I pass, just in case the tarp is off.

The other day at work a lady gave me this calendar with a bunch of classic bugs, busses, and ghia's etc. It got me all excited about them again.

As you know, from my earlier blog, I recently got a new beetle. I love it! It is hecka fun and reminds me of the days when I used to drive around in my '73 super beetle.

My wife loves me, and always wants to get me stuff that I think is cool. She has gotten me little model bugs, a hot wheels one, etc. Her parents even got me a model to put together.

Anyway... I decided that this was my new hobby.

I wanted to put a cool picture of an old vw on this blog... so this is one I found. There were some awesome ones in the calendar I got... but this is the best I could find tonight.

Peace out!
