On 6/11, I improvised, and drove down to Eugene and met-up with 1st Class at Burt's place. Actually ended up meeting Burt & Liz. Very nice people. Next day took in the view from Skinner's Butte, lost in tennis, and went to Halsey. Ended up crashing at Papa V's place while he and his family were chilling on the beaches of Greece...
Then on 6/25 I drove down to Portland and picked up 1st Class at the Greyhound station. Talk about first class travel! We then hung out and painted the interior of my place. We also swigged a lot. Watched a lot of world cup soccer and 1st Class had a lot of photography work. We didn't play much tennis. We only hit one day, and then I beat his sorry-ass the next time. That was a lot of fun. Watched the movie the Gambler. This visit was what I'd call fascinating. Learned a lot about 1st Class that I didn't know before. Mostly, what I'd call 1st Class logic. He certainly has a system to his way of thinking...
Then it was back to Eugene. I ended up driving him back in Mrs. Ocean's car. Got a rock chip in the windshield that couldn't be repaired, had to be replaced. Once again crashed at Burt's and met Burt for a second time. Next morning, dropped off 1st Class at Skinner's Butte for a photo gig, and met-up with Papa V. Celebrated the 4th of July with his talented rapping daughter. Beat 1st Class in a game of CAT. That was a lot of fun. Ended up passing out before the fireworks...
Returned back to Seattle, and broke in the new yurt with a food club. Japanese food. Japanese beer. Pretty hot weather, and went for an evening stroll with Dyno-M and Gerald over the Dr. Jose Rizal bridge. Lots of fun...
Which brings me back to 7/11 and free slurpee day. Met-up with Dyno-M the next morning and drove out to Belfair to pick-up Dyno-M's girls from summer camp. Chilled out at the Bremerton ferry, while the kids enjoyed the huge naval water fountains. Really cool park. Then enjoyed probably my favorite ferry ride ever, back to Seattle. Can't fully explain why, but that was the most inspiring ferry ride for me...
Woke up this morning, and decided to tackle two long-standing car projects. Recharged my AC, and tore apart the passenger's side door. Literally. Removed the glass, and just waiting to get the parts that I need from Dyno-M's Amazon Prime. We ended up charging Dyno-M's AC partially, and polished off a Scotch-Ale growler from Lazy-Boy while watching Germany v. Argentina. Well that concludes my 2014 World Cup and also represents my summer so far.
