Weatherly Hillclimb

Today was a nice vacation day. Breakfast with Robert,,, resolved to agree to a plan that would put him in my new house in Mcadoo by September. ( but he has to finish the work at Seybert Street first.)

Paid some bills,,, straightened out Legacy Bank about what to do with the money they received from the closing last week... ( like they FORGOT we had discussed it...) ;)

Called a guy who has 12 houses fpr sale down toward Lansdale.

Sorted thru leftovers at the new place,,, found no treasures, but DID find documents dating back to 1901. will make nice wall decore items. I want to do a story book of families I have purchased homes from! May eventually lead to some interesting ghost stories!!

Let's see,, there must have been more...

Magistrate at 2:30, tenant didn't show so now it's OFFICIAL that she has to move, The difference between 'official' and your basic MOVE invitation is about 30 days and $95. (mine, not hers). The tenant gets an actual autographed letter from the magistrate explaining that I won, and if she has extra money laying around that I'd really apreiciate whatever she can part with. Most tenants mount these letters in their game room, like 3 point bucks (half of which are probably road-kills) so they have interesting stories to share with their buddies.

I actually survived the day without a cell phone! Twice I got to land-lines with a calling card to check and return messages. It's interesting how important we think we are untill we loose our phone and realize that no one was inconvenienced!

Stopped at Biaggo's for libation ( to be discussed) and treated Blaze to an actual 'in-cockpit' view of the Audi. He owns the deli/6-pack store. He's such a BS'er... We have a lot of other things in common also... (?) ;)

THEN, on the way home, I went out to the road where they hold (held) the Weatherly Hillclimb! What a hoot. I'm going to try to post a video of the drive up. The straight sections are cake walks. the curves vary from "sharp left" to rignt vertical's (up) where you can actually look up over the hood and see your front tires going hand over hand with your back tires and wondering if the 6-pack in the trunk is going to tip the scales in favor of ass-end-over-tea-kettle.(?!)

Just when you think it's safe to exhale you reach the top, with no backside... There's now a hole where I put my foot thru the floor looking for the brake pedal. thru the hole you can see the spectators looking up in the air at your car, wich still going up while the terraine (pavement) is going down. (and all I have to show them is my foot where the floor boards should be,,,) go figure. BE sure you've cleaned that custom exhaust system, cause that's about all they can see!!

I made about 6 runs up the hill. The trip down is fun,,, if you enjoy the feel of the back end 'unweighting' while the front end is looking for something to grab onto to accomplish the hard-right. and the roofer in the econoline with 6 ladders on the roof ( headed up-hill toward home at 4.3 MPH with his own 6-pack)and 4300 pounds of leftover shingles that he's using on his moonlighting prohect, is praying that you're highly skilled at whatever it is that you are trying to do, and that you understand that the yellow line is his only assurance of dinner with family (and the 2 remaining of the 6-pack).

Then home to unload the goodies...

Did someone remember to pick up food?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

more later.
