Time flies
Feb. 12th, 2013 04:56 pmSo here we go, the highlights from the past month.
Naomi and Chris Linder threw a wonderful birthday party hosted at Crossfit Somerville, one of JT's affiliate gyms. Chris and company added lots of fabric, cushions and audio visual displays to dress it up, but I smiled when I saw stacks of weights used as tables, or barbells masquerading as coat racks. There were many fabulous outfits, costumes, and masks. My Venetian styled mask went over much better than I expected! All in all it was a fabulous night
Sunday January 27 I finally picked up a floor mat for my car, and a new set of wheel covers. I also grabbed a few pints of oil I knew I was low, but I had to deliver computer parts on Monday and didn't have time for the oil change. I took a look under the hood, but couldn't find where the oil was supposed to go. The next day January 28th my car started making a horrible noise and lost power as I was en route to Mashpee. I had it towed up to Boston and found the engine has seized. The culprit? Lack of oil. The good thing was I didn't waste anytime browbeating myself over the situation. I checked my finances, weighed the cost of a new engine vs. the blue book value of my car, and made a decision. February 8th I turned over my title and keys for a small check, and watched a tow truck take my car (the Silver Bullet) away for good. I left the wheel rims on, but did rescue the floor mat!
February 1-3: TempleCon! Another year, another weekend of Warhammer, board games, top hats, and sleeplessness! I had a good fun chatting with people over board games (Ireally like flashpoint) and people-watching in general. I took an underpowered army with an underpowered list and still went 3-2 with it. I was quite pleased, and am looking forward to refining the list over the next few months.
February 8: Winter Storm Nemo dumps two feet of snow in a day over Arlington. TCB close the office, so I did some work from home while I painted and watched the snow fall. I dug out most of the driveway on Saturday ,but we still couldn't get to the street. The T was shut down all weekend, but was running in a crowded capacity on Monday. Which brings us up to date.
The storm put a kibosh on Chinese New Year dinner, but that will happen later in the month.
Fun things are coming up: the Post Mortem Valentine's Day party, Chinese New Year, and shopping for a new car!
