Saturday, I grabbed a shower around 9, enjoyed some Ultimate Prince Igor, then made my way down to the BHT to meet up with Oliver, JD, Jimmy & his g/f. I was flying solo for the night as Kelly was working.
First stop as always, was the TD bank. I have strong distaste for the new Green Machines. The 700 language options, flashing green lights around the debit card slot, & slow sticky keys are a real annoyance.
I grabbed my traditional drink at the BHT(rum, ice, dash of cola), made my way over to the table for some conversation & Jimmy Tricks.
After a couple hours of consumption, conversation, & story telling, I made my way outside for a special secret meetup with someone, then some conversation with Rob. M.
Next we made our way to the OH.
It was pretty empty --- that would not last long.
Some initial wandering around took place, before sitting down above the dance floor. JKenny was the first to appear, soon after Jimmy's sister appeared, then some of Kelly's friends, all while JD was away for a drink. By the time he got back, the place had suddenly gone from no one, to a pretty large crowd.
It wasn't the high school reunion type of crowd I enjoy, but was decent. More wandering around, sitting, & conversation took place, along with me being JD's Wingman, taking him to his missions, looping around, taking him back to home base when needed.
The drive home was provided by JKenny, I secured the shot gun position. Not 30 seconds after leaving we were pulled over by the 5-0, with four(4) in the back seat.
Jimmy felt a ticket was coming for sure as he was the odd one out with no seat belt, but after observing JKenny was a DD & there was no open liquor in the car, the reason for the stop was disguised as "no lights on" & we were back on our way.
During the stop the 5-0 made a comment about all the liquor being in our stomach, to which I recall Jimmy making a comment along the lines of , "Until we get home to the toilet."
"If is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, 'if' is F1 spelled backwards."
I watched the F1 race Sunday, it was interesting, & unpredictable to the finish, then returned to sleep for a few hours.
"Shake & Bake."
Monday night Kelly, Vanessa & I, along with a lot of other former MVHS people, attended the theatre for Talladega Nights. There were some funny parts, most were the ones shown in the commercials, probably the best part was about baby jesus, & the bloopers at the end.
Although I've been out of school for several years, I discovered I still group people by the year they graduated, & probably always will --- unless I discover a better system.
The next night it was back to the BHT. The field was myself, Kelly, James H, then joined by Kyla & JKenny, soon after Jermey & Jessie joined. A few drinks & conversation were had, but was a low key event, as can be expected on a Tuesday. Cmac also appeared for a bit.
If anyone wonders what Marv does when its not busy, I discovered the answer Tuesday night.
He enjoys snacks from the vending machine, watches Orange County Choppers, American Hot Rod & some original CBC programing.
After the BHT, Kelly, James & I headed to Tim Hortons for some food. It took 4 attempts before they successfully toasted my sandwich. The final result was rather good though.
