w00t, car edition
Salesdude called on Friday - "car is almost through prep, send me proof of insurance/registration, and I'll get your paperwork sent off to Finance and text you when they're ready". 30 minutes later, "Finance has your paperwork, they'll be ready for you in 45 minutes or so". The dealer is 30 minutes away, so off we went, old license plate in hand. A quick test drive (roundabouts, highway, backroads) to make sure it was the car we thought we were buying, a dozen signatures later and I was off in my brand new car! whee.
J has spent most of today detailing my old car, which is now his main car. He wouldn't touch it when it was mine, even though I would ask him to, but as soon as it's his, he's all over it. sigh. And after years of scoffing at the book I keep, now he wants the old one so he can put all that info into the car care application on his phone. I'm not sure where the old book is -- I saw it a couple of months ago, but I don't remember where.
DB says that the absolute silence when the car is stopped is the weirdest thing. J has ordered an Infinite Improbability Drive badge for it (a friend posted a link to it, and he's not wrong).
JK and I are theoretically "in charge" of the FCB rehearsal on Monday - the lead cat herder will be on vacation, and has given us the 'keys', so to speak. We have access to the attendance spreadsheet so we can do the layout. The FCB is still observing the 6ft spacing, 9ft in front of trombones, unlike most other bands in the area. The Safety Board has relaxed the bell cover requirement, though. Right now, the weather peeps are predicting rain for Monday evening. I hope that's a decision *I* don't have to make - it's well above my pay grade. :) We shall see.
