And yes, aside from all the fun with the "I'm a Moron" Project, there is still plenty other stuff to do this weekend. Our neighborhood is having the annual (and much despised by me) community yard sale, which means that the streets will be clogged with all sorts of people looking for their OWN seed for their own moron projects. And I have to set out our old mattress, because one of the local charities comes around afterwards and picks up everything that doesn't get sold.
So, there's that.
And I have to get the oil changed and the tires rotated on the Honda tonight AND take Cat back up there with me. Seems she has some birthday money and is just beside herself wanting to get a scooter with it. Yes, she'll have to wear all the protective padding and helmet and such, and yes, I've heard all the stories. But, you know, she comes by this desire for wheeled conveyances honestly, so it's hard to deny her. Although, I did set my foot down in opposition to her getting the Bratz version. Yes, just as Lileks opined against yesterday, the Bratz have invaded all avenues of pop-culture, and so now we have Hoochies on Wheels (or Scooter Hoochies). Sorry, Cat. I realize it's all purple and pink and stuff, but I think the plain old shiny aluminum is just gonna have to do. So, she gets to go with me tonight to do that.
And there's laundry. And cleaning. And a baby shower/tea thing that Reba will go to on Sunday. And church, where I will have to ask absolution for being a moron.
And then, the biggie, that whole trip to lovely Newnan tomorrow! Maybe the traffic won't be so bad. The big race isn't until Sunday, and we will be leaving pretty early. Of course, if I say that, it'll be a sure-fire recipe for it being a 50-mile-long rolling roadblock between Leeds and Talladega, so I won't express any optimism about that.
ANYWAY, lots to do, and maybe even something worth hearing about when you come by on Monday. So, all of you have a wonderful weekend, and wish my long-suffering family luck as they deal with their demented pater familias.
See you Monday!
