I just have to say thanks again man

You're very generous towards me and my family and I really do appreciate it, made the whole night better for us all. Thank you so much. You're wonderful

If my calculations are correct, you should have been pretty drunk by the end of the night. For that, you are most welcome.

Well, I had 14 vehicles delivered to my barns from the previous auction. The rest went straight to storage.

Out of all of them, a half dozen were set out for J to pick from. She liked them all but initially figured she'd just keep the Defender she's been driving. (She has no idea what it's worth. She doesn't even pay to insure it. Hell, she doesn't even pay for fuel.)

One of the new arrivals caught her eye, even though it wasn't on the 'gift' list. Truthfully, she just liked the looks and the color. It'll likely never be used to its potential. So, she commented and I suggested she take a look to see if that would actually be something she liked.

She did and chose it over all the others. However, I now have to teach her to drive it. It just confuses her and she has no idea what all the levers actually do. She had tears of joy and this car should last for many years to come.

An excellent choice. As I own a bunch of 'em, she knows they're good vehicles. Their reliability is legendary and they'll get you anywhere you want to go, so long as you know what you're doing.

Another productive day...

As it was not on the list, the mechanics haven't gone over it yet. So, that remains to be seen... I'm sure it's fine.

I am surprised she picked such an old model

Oh, and J says, "Thank you."

You were drunk by then, but you told me to tell her happy birthday for you. So, I did... That was her response.

I'm going to spend time over the next month or so teaching her how to drive with a manual transmission - and probably quite a bit about driving itself. She doesn't bump into things, but her driving could use some tweaking. That'll keep me busy for a while.

I dunno how many people I've taught to drive and/or operate a manual transmission. The list is fairly long.

She is welcome!

I was pretty drunk last night.

Thanks

She knows that it'll be inexpensive to maintain the FJ she chose and really likes the color. Yeah, she has different priorities - but she made a fine choice.

And, yeah, I figured you must be well-inebriated by that point last night. Me? I'm just glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad you were able to share with your son. And, lest it is overlooked, I'm glad for the company while watching the game. I enjoy your company, obviously. At least I'm pretty sure it's obvious.

The game (which everyone's complaining about, but that's to be expected) would have been far less entertaining without your company and your intoxication. I can't be the only one drinking during the Super Bowl!

Also, you're not the only one that saw the halftime show and thought about white blood cells... I found others referencing it when I went through the news today. More people thought of it as an infection with white blood cells coming to the rescue. I

t didn't make me think anything of the sort. It mostly made me think about how amusing it would be if one of the wires broke and some dancers fell on the ground. I was rooting for gravity, so you could say... Not when they were high enough to get seriously injured, but while they were close enough to the ground to be amusing.

Also, I couldn't help but notice how absolutely shit her ability to lipsync is. They're her songs, arranged for her to sing them, and she can't even sing in sync with it - she can't even move her lips remotely close to the actual timing of the songs. Pure unadulterated shit.
