09:25 pm - ok ok ok ok ok ....My day ended as AWESOME as it began....
So...I wake, good start. Deb made coffee, better start. I had to drive the 58 to work with Sir rich, which is HORRIBLE on gas, but the BMW needs a tweek, and I cant drive it without shredding my new tire.
SO, Im rolling down hwy985, south, chillin. 65MPH. Why? because it's cool with a K to go slow in the 58.
Get to work, Sir rich slams me for drivin the 58, which is ok, because if I had legs that white, Id be an angry SOB too.
We got a bunch of good work done at the job. I screwed up a couple cuts, The boss goes easy on me as Im learning. I framed a couple windows, which was cool. Ofcourse, I bail at 2pm to hit the shop for job number two. So I left poor Sir rich to deal with the crazy Home owner. Really crazy. I feel bad for his relatives, and im sincere when I say it.
Big matt came in, we had some cool conversation, it's not everyday I get to hang out with a PHD chemist. So I like asking questions on thursdays.
Got some repairs done, the phone rang 5 gazillion times. Started Ridgeways jabberwocky, spent 30 minutes fitting stems trying to get measurements right. Maybe get it finished tomorrow unless code red get to it first and steals my fun. Jerk.
Got to softabll practice, to get Sarah, The Hannah was at soccer practice with Deb.
I watched Sarah lap everyone on the run. Good stuff. Earlier in the day, a guy named Kevin called said he wanted meet me to get the mazda parts, I was shocked and surprised to find out he was coming to take the whole car!
So I rushed home from practice with Sarah. So a couple of dudes roll up in a suburban with a cool ass trailer with bbs's on one side. yeah, only one side. cool.
Kevin looks familiar his buddy Wayne googled me. I think Wayne has a lot of time on his hands, he new more about me than me.
After two minutes of bs'ing with these guys I like em. Then we start talking about autocross, and the 24 hours of lemons comes up. I ask if they are doing it, they say hell yeah, they have a bitchin civic that they raced in grassroots motorsports challenge.
I ask which one, they say superturd.
WOW. I know that car, it's the richard petty superbird clone made out of a honda civic. It's freakin awesome.
Check out www.grassrootsmotorsports.com for more info...good shit.
Not only am I stting here bullshitting with celebrities, but they accept a couple PBR's and we load up the MAZDA and they leave with it. I was so excited. I broke even on the car. After I was fretting about the bead decision, and about how we, I, really should have used better judgement, I got really lucky and broke even. Im so psyked.
Now I have room in the garage to work.
And I can pay my small business loan payment. Good stuff.
So, that was my day. It could only have been better If I got to ride and won the lottery...in that order.
cheers
