Training Log Archive: Becks

So today, we got the train to Bridgeport, met up with a lovely young man, drove his car to Milford, sat in Starbucks for an hour having a conversation we expected to be awkward but really was quite fun, went back, hassled the dealer, who finally told us the car was generally good but needed some work on the suspension. We hightailed it back to Bridgeport, got to Bank of America at 11.49 (closing time 12.00). Rob went in to sort cash, I went to find Geico. Realised were we at 4600 and needed to be at 4100, and had 11 minutes to do it. Looked at the brother of the guy selling the car, asked him if he could run, he said yes, and we legged it down main street. Into Geico at 11.54, insured by 12.02. Use their phone to call Rob, he picks us up, we drive to the DMV, get there at 12.15 (closing time 12.30). It's rammed, but we get to the info desk and she says they're all there for licence things, there's only actually two people ahead of us. In five mins we're at the desk, and the car is ours. We drop the nice guys back at home, and head to Stamford, to get a quote for fixing Rob's iPhone (which he dropped down the loo, and bizarely still works except for the battery won't charge). They say they can't fix it, cue worried face, but then that he has 27 entirely unexpected days left on his warranty and he can get a totally new phone for $200. Cue big smiley face and new iPhone. So we drive to the top of Bear Mountain to celebrate, take in the windy roads and the big views of the Hudson Highlands, and finally get home to New Haven, after what I guess can be described as a very successful day!

Will get the work done on the car this week, and then we have a nice car and we are freeeeeeee!

Yes. About time.

On an entirely different note, well done to some great WOC races today!
