What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

[XpL0d3r]

Find hardtop far away
Find another one for a friend
Figure it'd be best to be able to split costs with someone and cover more ground in less time

First, friend backs out last night
So I write mine off today, f**k it

Tonight, he's back in and wants to go
So I check and finally have 25 new pics I asked for yesterday
Start talking and offer $3100 instead of his $3400 ask. "I'll think about it"

Motherfucker turns around and puts a fresh ad up now for $3500

I don't think he knows what a counter is.
Ugh, that's been my past 24hrs or so

I don't understand any of this. Too many drinks last night?

Beautiful weather here today. Spending it outside working on my friend's goldwing carbs.

Had to order some pieces from this website; makes me miss that kind of old fashioned web design

Only 1, and one today as well.
Both at the same casino and same bartender even.

Let's see if I can clear that up...



Earlier this week I found a Silverstone S2000 hardtop in North Carolina for a friend.
Needs a little paint work but price was right.
Send it to a local friend with a Silverstone that is looking for a hardtop.


Then about a day or two later, I'm again scrolling through a FB S2000 page.
I found a 1-hour-old post of a Rio Yellow hardtop and OEM mounting hardware.
But it's quite far away from Miami.


So, I send a screenshot of it to my local group chat and basically get talked into it.
Too bad it doesn't fit in with the trip to NC for my buddy's potential top.


But whatever, I tell him to start searching for a different one that fits into where my Rio is.
I got bored and checked multiple local forums of S2Ki and a few different FB pages.
Found a guy selling a Silverstone AP2 with OEM hardtop & all OEM hardware.
Sent a message asking if he'd part the top out, got him.
Send info to my buddy so we can make 1 trip to get 2 tops and split driving/costs.
Buddy takes the day to ponder but eventually backs out of it.
So, Friday I talk myself out of the top because I'm not spending that much to go get a hardtop.
Late last night he decides he does actually want the top and to go ASAP.


So I get back in touch with the Rio seller.
Offer $300 less than his asking price (even though it was fair but tried pulling distance/expense card).
Say's he'll think about it. Sure, that's fair.
Minutes later he posted a new ad now asking $100 more than before.

Today's continuation:

Talked it over again with a friend.
f**k it, I want it because you hardly see Rio's come up for sale.
Message guy around noon and tell him I want it, will pay full ask, etc.
Tried to send down payment via Paypal (even though I hate using Paypal).
He counters with wanting cash in hand.
Perfect, now you're speaking my language.
Except, it's 12:53pm and the bank closes at 1pm.
Slowest elevator trip 7 floors down ever.
Slowest drive to the bank ever.
Got to the bank and security guard said we had 40 seconds left.
Got back to friend's place, set a reservation for a truck, and we now leave at 8am to go get two hardtops.



Also, hit the casino today & the local art district.
Knocking out some laundry and charging cameras.
Not too much going on today.

Gotcha hahaha. I think the real question here is, did you win any $$$ at the casino?

I was up til 3:30am last night drinking and playing old school Halo. Didn't do much today, went Geocaching and walked about 3 miles in the process. Thought about getting garbage plate (a dish that's Rochester famous), but didn't feel like shitting my pants all night so I got a burger. Then fell asleep watching the Sox game. Now it's 1:15am and I'm wide awake. Sooo round 2 of drinking and Halo tonight.

Hitting up Park Ave fest tomorrow. Roc has festivals pretty much every week. I skipped last weeks festival, the Puerto Rican fest. Only one person died!

Lost $25 last night, but only because I got bored and when I get bored, I get careless.


Should have been asleep a couple hours ago

Parts in the mail for my friend's Goldwing, can't wait to get the thing running.

But I'm going to be out of town for the next two weekends...

Finished up my 3.5 day run to Scottsdale and back.
Only got pulled over once.
Time to see if the company honors that "unlimited miles" clause or someone tries to pull one over on me for racking up 4800 miles.

You got pulled over for running? o.O

I got pulled over for riding my bike on college campus once. The reason? I was riding a BMX bike which is "uncommon" for campus so he wanted to make sure it wasn't stolen.

Went to a car show last night, very good turnout. Watched a stretched R1 blow his clutch trying to show off.

After the show I stopped at Taco Bell. Some woman straight up blew a stop sign, almost hitting me, just to get in front of me in line. So when she got up to the order screen I cranked the bass on the sub and turned it up reeeeaallll loud. She was giving me dirty looks in her mirror while struggling to order. I smiled at her.

3.5 day drive* to Scottsdale.

Today I took the car to get the top tinted so now that's out of the way.
Still not 100% sure I like it but oh well. Stuck with it either way.

Ah, for some reason I took that as 3.5 hour run. Whoops.

Be lucky you can have tint! The clock on mine is ticking.. come inspection time it has to go or else I can't pass inspection. This state blows.

The last parts for the goldwing carb rebuild arrived today, and I have to leave town tomorrow.

 

[XpL0d3r]

Went to a Red Wings game last night. They were not the Red Wings, the were the Rochester Plates (named after the infamous Rochester garbage plate, the best meal ever). Second busiest baseball game in the field's 20 year history. Went 12 innings and lost but still a great game.

I ate a garbage plate for dinner there obviously.

8.5 hour psych eval today. Super drained.

Overall it went well though and I feel good about it. Waiting to hear back now though. Anxious [emoji14]
