My daughter is crazy. Just want to get that out.
We are at mid week, not much going on. Usual workout. Usual, except when I woke up Marika she exploded with anger. I wake her every day for the trip to the gym. Without drama. And she has no excuse. It’s fun! Great workout in spite of attitudes. Even stopped at the coffee shop on the way home for pastry and coffee. Miss attitude did warm up a little.
I have three appointments today. The first is picking up my car from the speed shop. It’s finally done. Took forever. I am half excited and half relieved. Whatever it is, car is back.
The girl with the attitude tattoo gave me a ride to Sacramento. Because of rain and bad roads we did not get there till 1145. And I have a noon appointment in the office. It seems likely I will be late to it.
So, the car. Faster, better mpg, sounds like a race car. I like it.
Called the office on the way from the shop. They know I’m late. Two minutes, I was forgiven. Clients an interesting pair. He owns his own small business and makes some money, nothing grand. Wife pulls down half a million a year as an advisor. And she looks the part. I was intimidated. Nice people though she never smiled and appeared to be in pain during our entire discussion. He is a nice guy.
My next meeting was at the local Starbucks immediately after my other appointment. This is not a client meeting. I am meeting with a financial advisor aka a referral source. I am same. We had a meet and greet to see if we can refer to the other. It was productive.
Returned to the office and kept working. Much to my chagrin. Made calls. Usual crap. Went to the bank. Went to the other bank. Had conversations with the speed shop guy. Just discussing the retune. Went home. On the drive I had a chance to stretch it out a bit. It is raining like hell so no big try of the turbo. Just a little.
Stoped at Target for the wife. Some stuff for school. I first checked out my headlights, they seemed dim. One is burned out. And the shop was supposed to change out to LED. Called Josh at speed shop. He said the lights were in process. Which means car NOT done. Christ. Later I guess. And tomorrow a new bulb for headlight.
Dinner was ready when I got home. Marika made potato patties. I had to step in and help, I happen to be the best at it in the entire family. We also had baked stuffed tomatoes and a veg. And it’s my daughter so there was a bottle of wine. Excellent meal.
Now I sit and watch TV. Good TV. Wow. I am hitting the hay in a moment. Have to shut down the house.
