11-04-22 wasn’t that a party
As I left our park this morning I glanced to the left and saw a vehicle approaching from afar, but before I could pull out I saw the vehicle speed past me and realized they were going way too fast. I followed them out and the net block to the left is a school zone. I was going 40 slowing down for the 30 zone when they left me in the dust. There was a 4 way stop so I made the decision to follow them. I noted they turned a block after I would normally so I kept following. My intention was to get the license plate as it was a very recognizable vehicle. Shortly after the turn I realized they had pulled in in front of a house so I pulled up beside them and motioned to roll down their window. It was a young man and I MOMMED them. To be fair, the very young man looked me in the eye, owned his behavior, apologized and thanked me as I said I would not report him this time but I wouldn’t hesitate again. We ended with him wishing me a good day and we had a smile and a goodbye. This is not something I usually do but I was wound up by it and I have to say, he was raised right as he was very respectful and honestly apologetic. He does have a very recognizable vehicle as I said and I was still driving the courtesy car so I am not worried about retaliation, lol
I got a lot done at the office, knocked a few things off he monthly list and it is only the 4th! The best part of the day was getting a call that my car was ready. It was Oct 7th when I took it in! I gassed up the courtesy car and returned it only to find a new bad scratch across the decal on my car. The adjuster who originally inspected my car with me brought out the manager and said they will have me back after they figure out what to do. I feel confident they will make it right but it is a shame as the decals are expensive.
I picked up Lukas and off we went to The Heid Out for the Fisher Peak volunteer party that I had organized. All I can really say is it was a hit! The food was amazing; Ahi tuna, Alberta beef au jus, salmon and all the fixings. The group of 30ish was appreciative and fun, there were enough donated gifts from sponsors to make everyone go home with swag and the jam session of musicians was extraordinary. We are a lucky group of volunteers, too bad some couldn’t be there! Lukas was a big help and I was so happy he asked if he could take some of the tuna home for his dad, what a sweetie.
All in all. It was an amazing day!
