Default Got new toys! (pics)

Well I have been out of commission on CF lately due to an emergency field job that has kept me away from a computer (and also screwed me out of Cruise In attendance) and then my internet at home went down.

Well since then I bought two new toys:

Wet Okele Seat Covers:



Pyrotech Helmet:



On a lighter note, had to bring in my company car for service and left with this beauty of a loaner:



Mysteriously the car seems to veer off the road while passing Early Bird Specials and Church Bingo nights....now I know what its like to feel 40 years older....

Oh and Adrian (Freestyler), bought kite surfing equipment. We need to get together and head out in the water.
