Where did we leave off again? Ah yes, cars/bikes/beers repeat… While I can’t say much has changed, hopefully this edition of Sunday night picture dump can at least present our classic flavors in a new twist.
I’d like to start off with Mountain Bike Nationals, but frankly I think the internet has seen enough of those pictures for a bit. If you missed it, this aught to give you an idea: https://twitter.com/BicyclingMag/status/492294420784349184
Moving on, it’s been full steam at work lately, and I felt like this weekend would never arrive. A few minutes shy of 5pm I hustled out the door onto stop #1: The M2 Photography Craftsman LT2000. Michael reached out to me earlier in the week when his tractor wouldn’t start, so Friday afternoon we took it completely apart before realizing that the battery wasn’t charged. We put everything back together, jumpered a car battery, and the tractor roared to life. Yeeeee Hawwww!
I’d like to tell you that I then proceeded on to an adventure filled Friday night, but Michelle and I just grabbed some delicious Thai food and watched a shitty movie. Still pretty good in my opinion.
Saturday morning we must have slept in until forever, because by the time we were both up and moving, it was too late to get breakfast at Anna Maries. Instead we grabbed a quick brunch at a local place and hit the streets to check out a yard sale nearby.
The yard sale was a bust so we dove into some overdue yard work.
We banged through the yard work pretty quickly and miraculously still had some energy motivation left so we started cleaning and organizing the garage. Last week I was able to donate a full truck (rabbit truck*) bed worth of spare VW parts at a car show so we now have a ton of new space to work with in the garage. Seriously, so much more space.
We’re not done the work bench area yet…
Sufficiently exhausted. We did the sensible thing and drove out to see the new Target in King of Prussia. Unfortunately for me, it’s brand new so they didn’t have anything on clearance.
Sunday morning came bright and early as we needed to grab a few things before meeting my Mom, brother, and BROTHER’S GIRLFRIEND at the Phillies game.

After the game, Michelle did me a solid and drove us home so I could take a nap. Damn she’s good to me. With the last precious minutes of the weekend dwindling away, I snuck in some time with the Porsche and ordered us a pair of salads from Applebee’s (#burblife). Michelle’s salad sucked so I called in and complained. Have a great week!
You know what they say. When Mrs. Obscene’s away, an easy post title to summarize random but chronological pictures is “hey”. Indeed Mrs. Obscene did travel ‘down the shore’ for a long weekend, so Cadence and I embraced our duty to lounge around naked and eat nothing but junk food.
But not without first getting some work done.
Things get real interesting when you try to do truck things with my truck. I also did some work at the Thursday night world championships, however, I was quickly distracted from my efforts when an older gentleman, with the best tan ever, showed up wearing nothing but a speedo and fanny pack. It takes a lot for a group of guys with shaved legs and spandex to feel uncomfortable, but at least we now know where that line is.
My apologizes for the cell phone pictures. I’ll try to be more prepared next time. Once the actual weekend came, it flew by like a blur. One of my favorite car shows was Saturday with another great early morning drive, and I rode down to Philly on Sunday to hang with friends and watch the World Cup final.
On the way home from the car show we popped into Zern’s Farmers Market which is more flea market than farmers market. It’s full of the greatest collection of junk you don’t need, and I absolutely love it.
Then, among stacks of old VHS tapes and broken garden tools, I saw it. I have no idea how a Porsche key chain ended up here, but I bought it instantly (after looking for other things to bundle with and reduce the $3 price tag).
Sunday’s ride into the city was good and hot as the temperature was soaring. A lot like transitioning from suburban driving to city driving, city riding brings a whole host of new stimuli.
Mrs. Obscene met us in Philly, so after the game we grabbed German beers to celebrate the win and had some really good Thai food! (also to celebrate the German win)
Then carried some old pallets back to the house because why not.
it’s early in the running, but this one was a top ten for sure.
happy birthday, America!
Mr. and Mrs. Obscene
