Safari 4 Beta = great.

Safari just might have won itself the spot as my web browser for “personal use”.  (I keep a pretty lean Firefox on my home computer… not even Firebug installed!)

Safari 4 Beta OS X 10.5.6

The lift kit is on its way…

without comments

I ordered my 2.5″ suspension lift kit this week, should be here next week!  The list of parts im getting:

  • front and rear Performance 2.2 shocks
  • transfer case spacers
  • Front and rear progressive coil springs

Can’t wait!

I likely won’t be able to get the kit installed for a week or two, as I will be going to CA this coming weekend for Erik’s wedding (go erik!).  First time on an airplane and all… that’s enough excitement for me.

… and I will leave you with a picture of my parking spot at BlueTie.  My snow banking is melting away =(

Yesterday I received two more emails from Connor that I feel the need to share with everyone (pretty funny):

So perhaps a more accurate title for this post is:  Connor Fail – but thanks for the amusement.

Nice day… time to play with the Jeep

with one comment

It was nice and “warm” out today in Rochester, NY (42F) – perfect day to go for a ride, buy a toolbox, tennis balls, and some hunter green spray paint.  Spent the afternoon doing some tiny mods to my front bumper – removed the plastic fender ends (milk jugs) – which gives the stock fender a little more aggressive look.  Nice!

I removed my new CB whip antenna a few weeks ago because it was banging up against the frame of the Jeep… causing some scratches and generally being annoying for highway travel – so my remedy?  Buy some tennis balls, paint them green, and use them as a buffer between the antenna and the frame.

Can’t wait for it to get warmer out so that I can go topless..
