Things to do today

updated 6-16-01 11:50pm

• make french toast for breakfast. It was yummy
  
• go to NY with [C] to pick up a cadillac. Found the place without a hitch
  
• drive the unregisteredd, uninsured cadillac to CT with illegal plates. Except for the near heart-attack of having a cop pull right between the two cars, right behind the Caddy just as we got on the main road, it went fine.
  
• leave cadillac somewhere safe and go get registration & insurance for it. Left it in my mom's spot, which was not the best idea because she got home while we were getting the car legal. Had no major hitches at the DMV or insurance company.
  
• call guy who's interested in Crown Vic to tell him when I'll be around this wekend. He wasn't home, of course.
  
• change answering machine message so if the other guy interested in the Crown Vic calls he'll know when I'm around. I was pathetic and didn't do this, so of course he came by today while I was at work and my mom had to show him the car.
  
• start one checking & two savings accounts with my one paycheck. Didn't get this done, going to do it after work on monday.
  
• if possible start writing presentation for Artscape. it turned out not to be possible.
  
• probably several other things which of course have slipped my mind.
  

Here's the other stuff that cropped up:

• go to Pep Boys to pick up supplies for oil change & tune up on Caddy. As well as replacements for the burned out bulbs.
  
• go to Walmart for something we forgot at Pep Boys.
  
• realize [C] left her credit card at Pep Boys and go back for it.
  
• see classic car show while driving back from Pep Boys the second time, realize we're in a car that quialifies as a classic, go to car show.
  
• get sandwiches from the diner where the show is, eat it on the hood of the Caddy.
  
• Borrow a screwdriver from the owner of the '55 Chevy parked next to us and install replacement bulbs.
  
• leave show as it's breaking up and cruise pike, only to discover no one is out.
  
• Reaquire [C]'s other car from my mom's place and caravan back to [C]'s place.
  

"Oh, and I should try and get to bed at a reasonable hour since I'll be working ten hours tomorrow at work."
