Made it home in one piece. Took me 3 hours and 38 minutes to get home from Reno. Not bad. I never once drove insanely over the speed limit either. The majority of the way is 65 and had cruise control on at 72. A good pace but still safe. Through the mountains for the most part I was the only car which was fun. It felt so odd to be driving through all that without any snow. It made B's morning that I was there when she woke up which was my main reason for leaving so early. Once B left for work, I went and took care of emptying the Mercedes because as of yesterday it is gone. Yep.
After doing the car, I came upstairs and relaxed. Played a little Diablo, watched some Arrow and waited for my friends to arrive to take care of the car. They got here about 3 and we hooked it up to a trailer. It is now on its way back to the original owner which in a way makes me feel good. I know it is getting a good home. I am a bit pissed off at the kid, who I saw later in the night, that I spent $1500 for something and it just sat for 4.5 years, but at least it's done, gone, and out of my hair. It took a while to get it ready to tow as he needed to remove the driveshaft. They just did a two wheel front tow and the driveshaft needed to be disconnected to make sure the transmission didn't get damaged on the way home.
While we were doing that B had come home from work. She had a rough day thanks to an asshole cat who decided to hide where they couldn't see it. Took them an hour to find this cat. We both needed to get out of the house. We met friends for the most incredible sushi dinner ever. We did omekase - chef's special - at this tiny little sushi place walking distance from their house. Holy fucking shit. $35 per head for the freshest, most imaginative Japanese dinner I have had in a while. Toro, white tuna, salmon skin salad, snapper, assorted nigiri, something I can't remember but it was awesome, and a hand roll that felt like an ice cream cone to close out the meal. 7 courses, $35. Perfect. We went back to their house and the kid and KBF came over. They were still there when we left at 11:30. We were in bed by midnight and I slept like a log. All the food and exhaustion caught up with me and I collapsed. I missed my bed and pillow.
Today I am picking up some boxes from a friend who is doing a martial arts tournament to use them for packing. Then I am undertaking a big project - creating clothes piles for donation. That's going to be huge but rewarding.
