Lisa and I were having one of our spirited debates about our immanent purchase of a DVC at Bay lake Towers in Disney when I told her I’d like to get the supercharger for my Mustang before we purchase her DVC. I was promptly overruled when she hit me in the head with one of the boys Magformer kits. She hit me hard too! I guess the argument is finally over since she resorted to violence! The DVC comes first and the super charger comes second.

So Lisa put the stop to buying a 1960's inspired golf cart but she said we could take a day and try out one of the golf courses in Disney. I'll have to look into it but I don't thin we'd have enough room for any clubs so I'd have to rent my golf equipment when I get there. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one but it seems kind of lame renting clubs!

Also, I'm not too sure how the kids would handle it. I guess they'd have to hang with Grandmas while we went for a few hours. I'm guessing we'd only be able to pay the front 9.

Recently I’ve taken a bit of heat from my friends for taking up golf. Apparently it’s not as cool as it was five years ago but I'd like to think I might have enough talent to actually play. A buddy of mine was giving me grief until I showed him a link to a 1960’s Mustang inspired golf cart I’ve been thinking about buying. I’m a rather lazy person and I hate lugging around all that golf equipment so riding in style sounds like a good idea to me. I’d just need to have it painted legend lime and put some mini-pipes on it! Yes folks, this is why we don’t have a DVC yet!

Don’t you hate when you get side tracked? Well, Lisa’s been working hard to get the down payment up for her DVC but we keep getting side tracked. Some of it’s been my fault but some of it’s not been my fault. For example, my fault is the new Mustang sitting in my garage. It’s my Mustang’s fault however that it didn’t come with the Vortec Supercharger that was on display at the performance shop I frequent. I walk into the store and right there in the center of the store, on a nicely decorated peninsula display was the exact Vortec Supercharger I want for the Mustang! So, now I’m saving up for that.

It’s not my fault that Lisa wanted to have the basement renovated into a living area. It’s not my fault that we blew out budget by 3K. We really need the extra space and it’s just about done so we shouldn’t incur much more debt for it but still, I know it set her back.

So now that we have these things out of the way, I really hope that she can get back on track because I know it means a lot to her and she deserves to have it!

When I’m not busy working or dealing with my better half’s addiction to Disney I’m usually watching shows about hotrods and helping my friend install his new Polaris RZR accessories. Well, the bug to “build” finally hit me again when I picked up a 2006 Legend green V6 manual transmission Ford Mustang Coup. It puts out a steady 210 HP to the wheels but the plan is to end up with a stealth Mustang capable of 400-500 HP at the wheels while retaining the retro look of the ’69 mustang it was modeled after.

I’ve put together a blog called “Me and My Mustang.” This is where I will keep track of the modifications, upgrades and overhauls that I have planned for the 4.0 power plant and drive train. If seeing steroids injected into a muscle car is your thing, hope on over and check out the new blog!

A while back I was talking about "live event video streaming" direct from Disney and as luck has it, I saw a family doing just that right from their table from 1900 Park Fare. Yup, a family was beaming their daughter's first meet and greet with the Princesses of Disney right out to the Internet so family at home could view the event live if they wanted to! I never gave it serious thought and Lisa dismissed it right away but it seemed like a really cool idea and I think I might give it more thought for next years trip!

It's been so humid lately that our 100 year old home has started to have that musty smell. So, Lisa made me dig out the "Disney Candles" to help freshen up the house a bit. Lisa loves beanpod candles and we usually have them all around the house to keep the house smelling "in season."

We have Disney specific candles because as awesome as the Polynesian is, it is still a room that gets used daily and it smells like a room that gets used by hundreds of people a year. With that said, we bring candles to give the room a bit of that "special Disney" smell. Apparently she wanted a little Disney reminder so I had to go dig out the left over candles!

In case you wonder, our Disney smell is Sweet Pea! :)

I was talking to my mom yesterday and we were talking about the trip to Disney and she said that she was disappointed because I didn't propose to Lisa while we were at Disney. It's not like she doesn't read my blog on occasion but I guess that she thought that I was still going to do it.

So unfortunately, as of right now there are still no men's wedding rings in our future or any wild Disney wedding cakes to be ordered but I'm starting to think that maybe next year there will be! Hey, eventually I'll get over my little protest about getting married and if I were to marry anyone again, it would be Lisa!

While Lisa has been contemplating becoming a member of the Disney Vacation Club I've been pondering the best way to get to Disney next year. Yes, a plane is the fastest way and it's really the way most people travel. Well, I'm chicken and have no intentions on flying. So, I decided the best way to go to Disney is to go in style!

That means I just had to go out to buy a new Mustang! Sure, our Honda Pilot was great but taking a Mustang down I95 would be great! Lisa's convinced I'm going through a mid life crisis since Mr. White lab coat gave me a wake up call about my diet, exercise, and general living but I've just always loved Mustangs and now I'm in a place on life where I can have one.

Now I just have to figure out how to fit two adults, three kids and 11 days worth of luggage into a Ford Mustang? Any ideas?

We just got back from spending the holiday weekend with my family in Ohio. It's about a seven hour drive one way. In the past it's been a very long drive but now that we've done the Disney drive twice a seven hour drive seemed like a walk in the park. It's a good nine-teen hour drive to Disney which makes it a two day drive each way.

On the way down and back all I could think about was those old time motor homes with the giant commercial satellites sticking out of the roof and a black diesel bloom following behind. Maybe an old Schwinn bicycle strapped onto the front for good measure.

All I could think of is that I was driving south in my mid-sized SUV with my kids in the back being quiet for nine-teen hours thanks to Sponge Bob! Yup, instead of that old Satellite, I had DVD! The power of the Sponge was strong on the trip to Disney! As much as I hate that little yellow guy, my kids love him and I had no problem listening to that laugh for 1,100 miles!
