Went out to see B-mann play at Bike Night last night and ran into an old neighbor I haven't seen in a while. Hung out a bit, ended up talking about old cars. He said he picked up a '53 (Chevy, I think?) that he's been working on. He's always had a car project going, and I asked him about the sub-frame assembly on mine, told him what I wanted to do, and he said sub-frames were no problem to work with, so it looks like I'll have a good source/contact for when i actually get into working on my Dodge. I'm thinking about checking out his old house too, as he did the same thing I did and let it go back to the bank. I don't think they've finished the foreclosure process on it yet, but if it's cheap enough, I might put in a bid on it next spring.
My friends in FFC are playing a show at a local brew pub tonight, and I'm thinking I might text SSG & let her know that I'll be there; kind of a low-pressure "come hang out if you like" thing. I was going to just wait for her to say something, but I think I should at least try once or twice, on the off-chance that maybe she's not sure what to say, but wants to hang out. Can't hurt to offer suggestions once or twice, can it?
(Edit to add: Just texted her - she said it sounded fun, but she wasn't sure what she's doing tonight yet. would let me know if she's coming out.)
I also ran into KT (not sure if that's the nickname I used for her before, but I'm sure I've mentioned her - I'll look it up later). I haven't had the occasion to invite her out for bowling (which had been our previous discussion the last time we ran into each other), but this time she was at the Dog for bike night. I told her that I almost texted her the other night to go for a ride, and she said I should have, that she hadn't been out on a bike in weeks, so I told her I'd get in touch with her next week some time (this weekend is pretty much full for me right now). I got a big hug when I saw her, and another when she left, so that made my night a bit better!
I'm supposed to go to GRJ's on Sunday - it's a late b-day celebration, and she's having a little campfire, a band or two, and they're projecting a movie on the side of the net door neighbor's house that evening. It should be a good time, as long as I can keep the bummitude at bay. Not sure why, but whenever I hang out up there, I get all sad & shit. Maybe it's partly the fact that it always seems to be just couples up there, and I end up being the only single person. Could also be nostalgia, remembering when we were in a relationship... Could also be that every time, they all get shit-faced & stoned out of their minds, and I'm also the only sober one there... I don't know, but hopefully this time it'll go well.
Even with the vacation I've already scheduled around the rest of the holidays this year, I still have 3 weeks worth I need to use. There's really no place I want to go by myself, so I don't know what to do. I'd really like to stay in my area, I think. Anyone near the Great Lakes want to meet up at some point?
