A pleasant little diversion was had this weekend. Drove down to Hilton Head Island to take more pictures of condos. My friend Jerry who manages a bunch of places at the Hilton Head Island Beach & Tennis Resort has snagged a few new ones (bringing the total to 25) and I need to update his website with the new places.
Took Friday off from work and drove down in the morning. We had Japanese food at Donna’s favorite spot for lunch, met with Jerry, took pictures then we had pizza at my favorite spot for dinner.
Saturday was up “early” for a walk on the beach, leftovers for lunch and a movie in the afternoon. Dinner that night was over at Jerry & Donna’s (Jerry’s wife’s name is Donna too) place. When we got there they came out to ooh and aah appropriately over the new car. I handed him the keys and said, “Let’s go for a ride.” We then proceeded to terrorize the neighbors and their dogs by driving around way too fast for his quiet little plantation development. Back in the day, Jerry used to drive of-road rally cars and it shows. At one point he said aloud, “Not bad clutch work for someone who has only driven automatics for the last 4 years.” I commented that it was pretty much like riding a bike and he responded back by heel and toeing a double clutch down shift through the next corner. To which I kidded, “You know they have synchros in the transmissions now a days.”
This morning it was raining, so Donna (mine) and I cancelled the beach walk and drove on home. Sometime on the drive home the CD Changer switched to disc 2. Not bad, nine days to finish listening to all 170 songs. At this rate I will have to swap out the 10 disc magazine, sometime in early April.
Remind me tomorrow to tell you about this afternoon’s dueling car washes.
