Tuesday Night at home...
Well I've been home about a week now. I ended up coming back home on Wednesday instead of Tuesday because an acquaintance of mine from years ago passed away and I wanted to go to the funeral home to pay my respects. She was only 72 and a very class act lady. Now both she and her husband are both gone. Life is so short sometimes.
I left the doggies at home this trip so it was kinda nice cause then I can stop at more places along the way and not have to worry about leaving them in the car. The Eagles had their district meeting and that was alot of fun. I donated a couple of pumpkin pies and helped clean up afterwards. Think there were about 75 people who came from various other clubs in nearby cities. After the meeting some of us went into the lounge and had a few pitchers of beer to relax and chill.
My friend from the Caseville area had an accident with her car when she was shopping in Bay City. She was parked behind some big semi trucker at a light waiting for the light to change, and she sees that his back-up lights go on and she didn't even have time to react. He proceeds to back up and turn and rams right into her car!...What an idiot!! Apparently, there was a produce store at that intersection and he has to stop as far as the light, in order to back up and turn into the store driveway and he didn't bother to see if anybody was behind him apparently. and get this!!!.....my friend called the police and he came and he didn't even give the guy a ticket! Now if I did that...stop and then back up and hit somebody, I sure as hell would have gotten a ticket. But guess the cop decided to give the guy a break since he drives for a living...blah, blah, blah...
But my friend only has PLPD and no collision insurance. She's gotten a couple estimates of $2500 or so to fix her car. She's trying to get the company to pay for it...but it'll probably snow in hell before that will ever happen. Of course, like I told her, if you want to be able to have your car fixed if it is in an accident, then you HAVE TO HAVE COLLISION INSURANCE ON IT!....otherwise, it's tough luck. You get what you pay for. People try and save a few bucks by not paying for collision, then they cry when they are in an accident....boofuckinhooooo...
So I've been back and as soon as I get back, the weather turns gorgeous. We're actually having 70-80 degree weather in October....must be Indian summer.
Last Sunday I went to the Plymouth Chili Cook-off in Plymouth and met up with my brother there. It's a super big festival and all the bikers show up. He drove his Harley and we took a spin on it. Lots of food and great music. We went into one of the local bars and had a beer.
Hubby and I are picking up a dresser/chest that I bought at an estate sale over the weekend for my son. He saw it but when he went back to buy it the sale was closed for the day. So he called me and wanted me to go back the next day and buy it for him. He got a good deal. It's a nice chest for $50. He's slowly getting his new house painted and furnished. They should be able to move in pretty soon. But he still has to sell his current house!
Looking forward to a busy weekend...
