A 2nd Post!
I’ve had a relatively slow last couple of months. Work is work, which means it ebbs and flows. This week I haven’t really done shit, but last week I traveled to Monaca, PA (just outside of Pittsburgh) to retreive assets from a terminated employee. That was awkward enough but then the guy asked me out after I collected his phone and badge. Super awkward!
I met Lil BUB on the 6th of October and it was amazing. She’s so teeny! I cried a little when I met her, but I full on bawled during some parts of the presentation. I also cried a little when I saw her for the first time. A guy from Cleveland.com recorded my meeting her and interviewed me afterward, but it wasn’t posted on the site. Thank the Gods because I cried the entire time. It was a great experience and I’m meeting her again on the 4th of November (next weekend!) I’ve decided that if she’s within an 8 hours drive (one-way) I am going to travel to meet her. If I ever get over my fear of flying (doubtful) I’ll attend all of her meet and greets! Yay BUB!
The Gary Numan concert was canceled last minute because his tour bus hit and killed a pedestrian in downtown Cleveland.
Not much else is going on, really. Both cars are running great, finally, and I’m looking at a 2019 Jetta to lease for 4 years. If the dealer will write all of the promised terms into the lease I’ll buy it. Those terms include not being penalized for going over the 7.500 miles per year so long as I purchase the car, the upgraded rims not being an additional charge when I purchase the car, the first 3 services (oil changes, mostly) being free and something else I can’t currently remember (it’s all written down somewhere.) I hope they do so because the terms are amazing (zero down and only $225/mo.) It’s habanero orange metallic with black interior and it’s a true 6-speed manual!!! The shit thing is I can’t get the manual transmission on any of the better models, so I’m stuck with the S. I am able, however, to get the safety package for only $400 extra which includes cross traffic indicators (backup camera and a 7″ touchscreen are standard,) blind spot indicators and adaptive cruise control. But I can’t get leather, heated seats, sunroof, navigation, etc. Even the base model is nicely appointed so it won’t be awful. The 2019 is a completely new body style that uses the tried and true TSI engine. So we’ll see if I buy it.
I purchased a Polaroid SX-70 camera off CL about a month ago. The seller is the original owner and had the paperwork with the camera, plus a bunch of neat accessories which are brand new. I sent the camera out for repair to Retrospekt and just received notice that it’s fixed! My SX-70 is the Alpha 1 SE which is black plastic with black leather. I had them replace the worn out black leather with the more traditional brown since that’s what I think of when seeing an SX-70. They completely disassembled the camera, cleaned it, fixed it and replaced the skins for $175! I’m going to take it with me to meet BUB and hopefully her Dude will let me get a photo of her. No flash is allowed but it’ll be bright enough in the room that it should turn out OK.
That’s it, I suppose.
