the fix-it crew...

so last night my friends newlywed tim and wedding date burt came over to check out the moped. while their housemate newlywed stephanie is out of town i lured them over with mexican food and an action movie. (works every time)

as the garage door opened to reveal the idled moped, seeing it for the first time tim said, "that thing is sweet!" those words instantly catapulted me back just a mere four months ago when i too laid eyes on her for the first time. (sigh)

we pulled it out of the garage and he began his inspection. while he crawled around on the ground taking close-ups and wiggling parts, burt threw in his two-cents while i stood there feeling for the first time in months that i may actually get to ride this thing at some point.

after throwing around big words like carburator and rust he then said, "this thing is in great shape...we should have it running in no time." i love newlywed tim, so positive and optimistic. he then said that he would need to do some research and would try to come back over sometime this week to spend some quality time with it.

so we rolled her back into the garage, got in the car and drove off into the sunset with nothing but fajitas and big-screen blood and guts on our minds.

more to come...
