We are here, in the groovy little Forth Worth House.
03/26/2003
We made the trip a little earlier than expected and ended up having a nice dinner up here in Fort Worth. I managed to really piss the neighbor off before I left Austin but I think it is fixed now. I am heading out to the track early tomorrow to check out the drive, go to practice and testing and make sure I know where I am going.
Saba and I took a nice walk around the neighborhood when we got here. He was a little excited about the ride. We stopped and talked to a bunch of the neighbors and saw one of the houses that the nice girls live in. It looks so cute, they planted lots of tulips and spring bulb flowers. They have decorated it so nicely, it has a homey feel to it. If I don’t get a bid on the tickets, one of the neighbors, Joy will be joining me on Saturday and Sunday.
I managed to get a nice big dinner at Mexican Inn. It is a favorite spot of a friend of mine. She and I headed out to grab dinner and stop at the grocery store. I HAD to get some 9 volt batteries, the smoke alarm was beeping when I got in. I don’t disconnect those things ever, don’t want to go there.
I called a new friend of mine from SXSW on the drive up, I didn’t get him on the line so I left a message for him to call me on the cell. I hung up and realized I had a blond moment, he doesn’t have my cell number. I had to call back.
OK so the neighbor: I had a porta potty delivered so the guys working on the barn have a place to go. I didn’t want it in the front yard so we tucked it next to the driveway in the side yard. It seemed like a good spot. The crew that cleans the stuff could reach it, it was behind the dog fence and it wasn’t in the front yard. Sounds good doesn’t it? I get a call from Mary on the drive up. Devota she says, I hate to bother you but I just got the nastiest call from your neighbor. She said you are refusing to call her back and she has left you messages at work and at home. Well, we all know the icky neighbor lies. She had never bothered calling me. They did leave a note on the porta potty saying I was rude. But they were trespassing so I ignored it. I left it for every one to see. Ok so there bedroom window is right next to where the porta potty was located. Hey its only for a few weeks. I figured I could torture them a little. No such luck, Mary had one of the guys go to the house and move it.
