Yeahyeahright. You've heard it before. I had a short-term gig fall
in
my
lap on Friday, starting in a week in Everett WA so I'm outta this
third
coast
joint.
I just finished loading the friend's 4WD that I have to deliver to San
Jose
in April, and I'm taking the north road instead of I-10 and I-5. Too
much
rain in CA. The usual reprobate Utards have been notified and if I
don't
camp out in the Yyyy parking lot tomorrow night I'll be looking for a
snowbank
to park next to in LCC on Tuesday night.
They really DON'T tow Texans, do they? Even if they offer a sacrifica
of
a six of Shiner Bock?
Anyway, Utards, you know who you are. And if you don't, look for the
red
and white 80s Ramcharger with the Texas ham radio license plates and
the
pile of beer cans on the floorboards. If it doesn't get towed it'll
be
parked
in as prominent a space as I can find.
Ya know ... when you're Texan and you drive a butt-ugly truck, you
might
as well flaunt it.
Three days to ski. Wheee.
Just don't let your mutt (or your 'boarder girlfriend) **** on my
hubcaps.
Jim outta Texas
PS -- don't ask me about the job. All I can say is that it's in
Everett
and it has to do with microprocessor stuff and you will probably have
one
of these chips in your home in 2008.
PPS -- I ruined the neon ski jacket loading the truck, so I'll be
skiing
in some ****ing nondescript gray thing I got at Goodwill this
afternoon.
Ugh.
Hmmm....
Kid's soccer season ended Saturday with an overwhelming tie that kept us
from advancing in the last tournament of the year. Just checked my
schedule: coaches' meeting Monday night, manager's meeting Tuesday
night,
then I am free of non-family obligations for about 10 days. I'll have
to
sweet-talk some cash out of my wife (and then charge everything, keeping
the
Benjamins for emergencies). Further info to come.
Great timing. It sounds like a pretty wet week to come. I hear that Alta
Java is a good place to meet. Skiing Wed. Jim? Sounds like it might be Th.
for RH. Are you guys plugged in? Do you want to call me or can we plan
here
and maybe get a mini-invasion going?
Survey: should I spend some money getting the shift-on-the-fly 4WD fixed in
the Jeep (it sometimes shifts itself out of 4WD unexpectedly) or winterize
the Toyota PU?
