I hope he does not have to endure too much pain too
In my selfishness, I kinda wish he'd made it through at least January. He enjoyed watching and experiencing me when I was busy buying stuff at the classic car auctions. There's a big one coming in January and I've got a giant wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket. I'd have liked to experience one more auction with 'em.
Speaking of him... Did you catch the archives up? I haven't looked. I've been remarkably busy during the day and I'm pretty zonked by nighttime. Hell, I'm already in bed - just on a laptop.
No not yet. I will get them all caught up before the next one starts.
I will watch the auction with you!
It's in January and is one of the reasons I take January off. Even before I started buying in earnest, I'd still watch the auction.
I'm all registered to bid and everything. I'll keep you updated so that you know when it's active.
If it weren't for COVID (and not wanting to drag any other illnesses into the mix), I'd probably have gone to visit COF a few months ago. Biff and I discussed it a few times. We decided not to. Not just 'cause we'd be dragging diseases in, but because we're not family and he has family. I don't want to overstep my boundaries with his family and families can be pretty weird when they're processing grief.
I will, of course, grieve his passing, though I mostly have already (I suspect). Fuck, he and I spent a lot of time typing to each other.
