The Perfect Line and Saturday BBQ and gaming.

Su'p fellow goobs. So thePerfectline drove up Wednesday to run errands and work as a coordinator of the LoveFest's floats. He accepted our offer to stay in our guest room and we spent the good part of Wednesday and Thursday sifting through my garage and through his boxes of stuff. The guy has had to buy a bunch of cheap tools while in LA and figured he should just pack up some of the necessities he had left in my garage and bring it down.

I never realized all the crazy shit he had in my garage, wood working and electrical tools that I can't name or have any idea as to their purpose. So into boxes they went and by the time he left, his car was packed to the gills. It was fun to have thePerfectline around and it reminded me about how I've missed him being in the Bay Area. Actually, I'm also going to miss his awesome Impact Driver, Craftsman Socket Set (my Crescent is good and does the job in a pinch but you can absolutely tell when you're using a great set of tools), hex bit sets, and specialized tools!

The job Friday was more diplomatic work on my part. Referents requesting reconsideration of my denied/unauthorized services. I feel like the bad guys Michael Moore talks about in "Sicko". Referents invariably get frustrated with our department, sometimes throwing out the old self-righteous schpeel peppered with attacks/appeals to my ethical sensibilities. I'm pretty much a push-over and relent when they come up with new information or historical material that I did not have access to when reviewing the original request. Enough of work talk cause I can go on and on if I allow myself.

So I'm off to the Craftman's home with a cooler of Porterhouse, Brats, Sausage, thePerfectline's Gewurztraminer (cheaper cousin to the German Riesling), and Apricot Hefewiesen.

So some of you there!
