Why can't they have those around the cities.

Anyway, Sunday night. I'm not looking forward to another Monday. I'm enjoy an evening pot of Kenya with some homemade lemon squares.
I get plenty of both; I live almost exactly half way between Boston, MA and Concord, NH, and I'm in Boston five days per week (sometimes six if I take wifey in for a show or something), and up in Concord at least two (this whole working two gigs is beginning to get old).

Just passing the spot where the U.S.S. Consititution is moored and the sun is literally rising right through her rigging; very cool.

*Sigh* It never ceases to amaze me how many pages I have to go through to find the last post that I can remember reading in this thread before having a hiatus; which I have those far too frequently these days.. My bad, busy chap haha

Anyhow, glad to see everyone's doing relatively well and still lovin on the coffee. I just wanted to check in so all you concerned souls that were just DYING to know if I was still alive or not, would be now assured that I am in fact, not dead I've just been busy working and helping my friend remodel his new house top to bottom - the whole nine yards: paint on every wall, new lighting fixtures, refinishing the once carpet-hidden hardwood floors, etc. Its been a party, that's for sure haha oh and the lack of internet connection at my house hasn't helped either :/

On a side note, as its 11:30 at night here, currently, I am winding down with some nice hot chocolate while trying to contain my giddiness at a certain surprise I may have for y'all by the end of this week, if the coffee gods cast their wishes in my favor I'll let everyone mull over what that could POSSIBLY be, and be back soon as I have some good news on said surprise Cheers!

Brad - don't be jealous because I have a feminine side.

Holy freaking crap Justin. I'm glad to hear you're still alive! So what's the surprise? Are you getting a new Audi?

Anyway, ending the night with a cup of breakfast tea. Happy early Tuesday everyone.

Randy: mmmaaaayyyyyyybe if everything goes to plan and the bank approves me for the 16k that I need, yes don't worry though, I'm not getting rid of the b5, that's gonna be my project show car

Brad: the house was built early 50s. We guess the hardwood was laid with the house and then the carpet laid in the 70s or 80s given how old it looked. Still begs the question of why you would do that, but it was a nice little treasure for us to discover

Aiming for an 08 A4 2.0tQM S-Line in either black, ibis white, or that gorgeous dark grey- dolphin grey metallic I think is the official name of it. I was set to have a black one in my hands by today, but the bank took too long to get back to me on if I was approved for the loan or not (which I was ) and someone else snaked off with it not 4 hours before I would have been able to tell the seller I was good :/ But I'm keeping my eyes out for another one; my loan application will remain active through the end of this month so soon as I find another one, I'll be set

In the meantime, the weather is absolutely perfect here; a cool 291ish degrees and sunny with a mellow breeze, so of course, I'm sitting on my *** at the coffee shop, slurping on an iced mocha and revelling in the fact that its the weekend, browsing around for another B7 to try and get my hands on, and just generally being content with life

^ I'm glad to hear you're staying in the family, Justin. I'm looking forward to you modding the heck out of the B5. Keep us updated with your quest to find the perfect B7. Dolphin Grey is a great color by the way!

Anyway, it's Sunday. I'm having my first cup of th day. I'm debating if I wanna go out and eat breakfast or stay home, be hungry while watching some TV. I might have to go in to work later on today for a bit.
