I went to a slot car swap meet/show (Yeah, I know, I'm a dweeb) in Rockford today. Spent a little more than I should have, with the being suspended with no pay for 30 days thing going on.
Went to dinner with the in-laws for Lynn's grandmother's 85th birthday. Realized that I really miss my grandparents. It's nice to have some replacements by marriage. Lynn didn't get to go because of the retail/holiday bullshit, but I was glad that I was invited. My mother doesn't even invite me for Thanksgiving.
Got home and found that the stuff I paid $3.00 for at a garage sale sold for $200 on eBay. So even after I drove 140 miles round trip to Rockford, 35 miles round trip to Plainfield, and spent money I shouldn't have, I still got a good dinner, a tank of gas and made a profit from tha internetz.
Thank you, Jeebus.
