Quad War Anxieties

[jamesq]

Feeling really anxious today, for no good reason.

I had a nice lunch with othelianna and also had a fitting for my new garb. Things are looking up there, but she does need to move too, so I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be there at Quad. Oh well, I've packed enough kilts for a Scot's pub on football night, so I should be good there.

Afterwards I emptied the truck and proceeded to repack it so full I think it's in really danger of popping some rivets. There's a bunch of stuff on top too. But I did manage to get absolutely everything into it. Of course, I'm packed in there like a Mercury astronaut. Oh well, a lot of that stuff is not coming back with me (five tables, 64 litres of assorted beverages, everything I can convince the original owners to take back in other vehicles).

Thankfully there's a minimum of turns on the way to the site. It's going to take me a bit longer then normal to get there because I'll be driving like an old guy with a hat the whole way and it's an unfamiliar vehicle. As long as I avoid Lacombe, I should be fine.

Pretty much nothing is stopping me from leaving first thing in the morning. I hope to be on the road by ten.

Wednesday I'll be busting my ass helping to get the site up to snuff (though I think we're damn near done). Thursday? Let the event - and my lack of pants - begin!

The advantage with driving whilst wearing a hat (and, a proper hat...not a baseball cap...) is that everyone THINKS that you're an old guy. And they give you lots and lots of room.

Damn. I wish gas were still $0.25 an Imperial gallon. I would SO own a Buick. Or a Crown Victoria. Or a Lincoln.

Now, get the hell off my lawn...

I'm also passing along that Ellias will be on site to be used and abused as you see fit. (well maybe he didn't work it quite like that.)

But he will be on site Wednesday with tools.

See you then! (Thursday)
