Hung out with Viv last night, no hanky-panky though, I wasn't up for it. She did end up staying the night though, and that's going to have to stop. She already knows it actually, as it's been well-documented that I don't sleep when she stays. I mean *don't sleep*. Awake & aware all freakin' night (got up around 2am & took a couple of melatonin, but it didn't do jack shit) and I feel like hell today (so why am I not going to bed? Think I'll go as soon as I post this).
I spent most of the weekend going through all of the boxes in the attic, determining what I can sell, what I should keep, and what should be thrown away. I've been finding a bunch of cool old shit I'd forgotten about, and a bunch of them are worth some serious coin. I have an old Heuer Trackmaster wind-up stop watch that's in almost perfect shape - I found one very similar on e-bay, but who's crystal face is all scuffed up, and guess how much it's going for? $150! I also found a huge box that belonged to my ex-wife - her collection of beanie-babies! Heh... There's got to be well over a hundred of them, all with perfect tags! I'm going to do some research & see if any of them are rare/valuable, then see if anyone's interested in them. Found some old garage-sale 70s china pieces, a 50 pc. set of 1941 Rogers silverplate flatware and a crapload of other stuff - I even found a freakin Furbie! (though it's not worth much). I'm selling an electric guitar & coffin case, 2 sets of bookcase speakers (Bostons & Bose), a couple motorcycle helmets, a bunch of reproduction Japanese swords (maybe? might hang on to them for the spare room!?), a vintage radio shack 4-channel mixing board, a Tascam 4 channel cassette ministudio... Ok, I'll shut up now. Hopefully I can sell most of this stuff, because there's a bunch more stuff in the basement I can sell too! (Not to mention the crap in the garage!).
Oh, also, Viv told me she'll be able to start paying me for the car in the next week or two (new job that actually pays fairly well, and her child support finally came through). Just a little bit this first time, but much more after that, (every two weeks, she said, though she didn't mention how much). I'll be glad to have that thing signed over to her so I don't have it on my mind any more. The plan is that all (or most, anyway) of this money is going to go towards the Matador (or possibly some towards the old Kawasaki in the garage too, so I can get that on the road again). I've basically got half of the engine rebuild cost covered already & Viv's money will cover the other half, then all of the sale stuff can go towards getting the transmission rebuilt & then finding a rear axle & fixing the brakes (& possibly finding a new gas tank, or repairing the old one, if it's rusty).
Gah! I've really got a lot of crap to sell off. I'm not looking forward to dealing with craigslist people though. On the other hand, I don't really want anything to do with e-bay (or paypal, for that matter). I'd much rather just do things in person. It's going to take forever to post all of these things, but hopefully it'll be worth it. Will probably post a few free things as well, just to be rid of them.

Shit, I knew I forgot something this weekend - didn't mow the fucking lawn! >.<
