So the lady in the VW called me Friday night to talk and it would have been funny if the whole situation weren’t so sad… The first thing I told her was the deal I’m offering is the only one available, basically as I outlined below as long as she doesn’t fight the insurance claim, I’ll call the cops to tell them that we worked things out. Initially she complained I even went to insurnace saying I should have talked to her first but lol how could I do that when she took off… Later she asked me if I could bring it to a body shop she knows, I declined and told her I could only deal with ones that were approved by my insurance company. Lastly she told me if there is to be any communique that I text her cell phone before calling, she doesn’t want her husband to find out.
Saturday Mark showed Maggie & I (my dad also tagged along) 9 houses starting from Steeles & Don Mills going all the way down to the Beaches area. Of the nine, there were a few I liked though the one I really like, Maggie thinks is too small. We liked the houses we saw along the Bloor line as it would cut my commute time to like 20 minutes each way (which is awesome) but those places were even smaller. We’re keeping a few of those as backup for now. Nothing though really “wowed” me so I’m considering continuing the search but frankly time is getting tight and I’ll have to make a decision soon. There are 4 other houses in the Fairview mall area that I’d like to see and will try to arrange with Mark for tomorrow after work.
Today I didn’t do too much, went to Gymboree with Brandon and there are way too many people there. They should limit kids who participate to 2 adults maximum, when grand parents & siblings come (who are older) the play area gets full very fast.
Earlier last week I was bad and bought a friend’s 2012 Systema CQBR SCK PTW (with hopup, motor mods & Colt engraved receiver)… I really shouldn’t have but it was an excellent price and I gave in to temptation. Since I already have a CQBR upper that I’m happy with, I traded the new one (which had a real fancy Daniel Defense rail & a real vltor flip up sight) with Jason’s M4 upper, put a RIS on it and now it looks like a regular M4, which is exactly what I like. 😉 Thanks to Mario for the pistol grip too, the one I got was um ugly.
Don’t know if I posted it earlier but I sold my old 2007 SCK PTW a few weeks back and was really missing having 2 PTWs so now I have a backup again in case one goes down! I guess I’ll make the new 2012 lower as my primary and swap the uppers as needed.
Mmm plain looking but I like my guns to look utilitarian rather than all “riced up”. Sigh if I only had time to play, oh well June is right around the corner. 🙂
