Rolling Thunder
04/10/08 10:58 PM | Projectile
As I sit here at the World HQ the weather outside is vicious. For the last half hour the thunder had been a constant soundtrack, and at times not back-ground music either I might add. Today was my last day off before my vacation. I work Saturday and them I am off like a shot. It is mystery Vacation Time again. I have laid the ground work. We have found a kennel for Charlie and a rental car is reserved for the means to the End (and Back).
Today was a most rewarding and busy day. I got up as if I were driving to work but I of course would have to be a fool to do that on my day off. Instead I took Charlie to the Doggy Daycare @ 717 Capitol Ave for a acclimation visit. Then I drove to the Beech Grove License Branch to plate the Blue Frankenstein Bimmer (I thought what better than Colts plates). Then on the way home I stopped in at Ralph's Muffler shop on E Washington to ask what they would charge to hang my exhaust system i got from Clark's Classic Cars two week's ago. The price was right and the time estimate was appealing. I still had to go get breakfast, stop at the bank, go home and put the muffler and exhaust pipes in the BFB, put the plates on the BFB, call the insurance company and add the BFB back to our coverage and drive back to Ralph's. By the time I got back there, 11:45 they had a few people in front of me and I would have to wait longer than the estimated hour.
Wait I did, I had a book and they had a TV. That took some of the sting out of waiting. Still it was a lot of seat time, but at 2: 20 the BFB was finally in the bay. I rolled out of there quietly at 3:00 PM. So the weather is making up for my arrival at Ralph's. I was rolling Thunder on the way in, but tip toed out. Another stop at O'Reilly's for wiper blades, since the rains had started while the BFB was in the bay, (and my old ones were frayed and rotting). Finally when I made it home, one of my first E-Bay packages was waiting in the mailbox. I played in the garage near the BFB for a bit and drank a perfect half'n'half, then it was inside for more chore elimination, which turned into a nap and two episodes of Buffy when Jenni got home.
