It&#8217;s time.  My Honda Accord has 110,000 miles on it, and it needs some major work, so we&#8217;re deciding still what to do &#8211; fix the Honda or buy something new &#8211; and if it&#8217;s something new, I want to park in the garage, which isn&#8217;t possible at this point (two car garage and too much &#8216;stuff&#8217;).  So that&#8217;s been a fun weekend project that has spanned many weekends.  It&#8217;s a good thing we have a refrigerator out there with beer and pretty setting sun light&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/snippets_from_suburbia\/8708252331\/\" title=\"Beers in the garage by snippets_from_suburbia, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8403\/8708252331_af7e543e5a_b.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"690\" alt=\"Beers in the garage\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took this nifty little self portrait which was done with a Lensbaby, and as a result, was very kind to my wrinkles ;)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/snippets_from_suburbia\/8714983585\/\" title=\"Lensbaby Self Portrait by snippets_from_suburbia, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7387\/8714983585_66b7d04782_b.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"639\" alt=\"Lensbaby Self Portrait\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I went through a couple more pictures of our weekend away at our friends&#8217; house several weeks ago.
