And rain kissed the car

Midday. Set out the right means to perform the inspired task at hand... clean the car inside out. Vacuumed, clorox-sprayed the vynil rugs, got rid of mud and earth chunks, got rid of stones and trash, got rid of stickers that lost their luster, got rid of old murky tints. Ravage Plunderer lives once more!

Tired but not ready to allow defeat to numb the day... Groundel's pal Big John was around visiting the family (he now lives his life at Tennesee, passed through his hometown because of homesickness I guess)... So, we took him out for dinner at THE favorite BBQ chicken place... It was a damned ride. We arrived after battling insane motorcycles, clueless ambulances and nosy policemen... to find the ATM was not working there... So... The quest for the ATM shrine took us across the deserts and ponds and bayous of the island... Just when there was no hope, there it was... a savior... a haven... Gosh! Big John had to wait for his dinner for almost two hours... But the wait was worth it. We devoured everything and came back to deliver him to his foster home... He's leaving tomorrow, so it was pure luck we found him.

Big John is the only acquaintance from Groundel's past that I am always glad to have around. He's shown me he is not in for bullshit, a hard worker and a man true to his family and friends. Gotta love the big guy.

I'll see if I can do the shock absorvers/water pump change tomorrow during the morning... Lucinda wants to go treasure hunting in the afternoon, let's see if that happens. Guajataca thinguie should be on Wednesday if I do my car (the repairs, pervs!). LS has all the details planned, and it all sounds good. Hopefully, no weddings taking place at the moat... ;)

Tril tried getting in touch at a bad moment, as when I am actually working I completely dislike being interrupted. Well, actually what makes me insane is that the phone rings and rings and rings and noone answers, so I have to leave all I am doing to get it. It is plain stupid from the house dwellers... And it is also stupid to let a phone ring more than 6 times... Hello? Doesn't that tells you there is noone available at the moment? Geesh! I guess he'll be upset for some weeks now, that's what he does...

Gotta catch some Z's, over & out.
