Hello!
It's been a really long time since I've blogged. WOW.
Quick catch up.
Started retro game collecting shortly after the last blog post in 2011.
Lost my mom in 2012.
2013, moved back to Texas, YAY!
2014, new year, new obstacles and adventures. OMG I'm 30!
My love for gaming really blew up over the course of 2012, started game hunting as well as refurbishing those. It's a side hobby for me. Earns some extra money and it's fun for me. The collection is pretty massive now, moving it cross country was no small feat.
Here is one side of the gaming area. There's a case of Gameboy games on the wall that's not pictured and the shelf full of PS2, GameCube and current generation games. Also another shelf of consoles and bins of cords and controllers. It's fun when we have game nights. Being back in Texas is awesome. I can pop over and pester my dad, pop by to see friends. It's great.
I was itching to tinker with an old fixer upper car. My brother is such a sweet guy. Gave me his daily driver to be my tinker car. It's a '94 325is. Cute little sporty coupe. I dubbed him Speedy and gave him a bath the next day after he came to my house. Shiny.
Speedy is currently in pieces on my driveway after I discovered a fluid leak, turns out he turned 20 this January while I turned 30. Lucky. A whole decade younger! But his age shows, his hoses are worn and split, belts are cracked, and the biggest issue, sometimes he just doesn't want to wake up to runaround town with me. So he's a work in progress right now. I'll update with more pics and progress later. Refurbishing is one of my fortes! I love to clean. It sort of feels like an episode of Overhaulin' they used to have on TLC. He will be back up in better shape soon!
