- I took Erin dirt bike shopping yesterday. She was very excited seeing the Yamaha & Suzuki offerings @ Santa Fe Motorsports. The kid has expensive tastes. $1500 to $1700. Anyone thinking of shopping for her @ Christmas, best off giving her money. She’s got over $200 toward the dirt bike already and she’s real excited to get one this spring.
- While at the dealership, I got a chance to touch base with the store owner, Sid Mace. It was good talking to him again. I’ve bought quite a few ATV’s from him. Good guy.
- It appears that I’ll be having lunch with 2 Pearl Harbor survivors today. Friends of Tom Johnson are joining the Ole Fartz @ Joe’s Diner today. This should be interesting.
- Got a new iPhone yesterday. Ordered it quite a while back and forgot it was coming. I got the flat black + version. I missed having a large format phone since my last one went tits up earlier this year.
- Saturday we have a HOG Christmas party to attend. It should be very interesting and hopefully well attended. 72 + reserved, but not all paid. We’ll see in a few days.
- And then on the 18th, we have the Ole Fartz Christmas party at Cowgirl’s Hall of Fame. It’s a museum with a restaurant attached and this will be our first visit there.
- Nina just released the hounds of Hell from her room and I let the out. It’s flurrying right now. I hope there’s no real snow between here and SF. I’m no longer a snow person.
- I leave @ 7:15 today to SF to have my truck serviced. Just an oil change and I may have them rotated the tires while there. While at Lithia, I’ll sit in the sales tower and confuse the newer sales people with my presence there. They’re restricted to standing in front of the counter there, while I’ll be sitting behind the counter using a spare computer to surf the net. On rare occasions I sign paperwork for the sales manager when he’s too busy to deal with that particular sales person, which adds to their confusion. When the current general manager was transferred into this store, he too was confused, but didn’t want to appear ignorant of an obvious employee that knew his name, so he pretended to believe that we had met when he was brought in. This went on for about 6 months until he finally asked about me. Fun shit.
- London is less than 2 weeks away. Nina’s checking the weather there daily so she knows what to wear and how many layers she needs to bring.
- Peace!
