my memory is getting worse, and it's getting obvious.
It's not going to affect much here at ol short attention span theater, but, now and then I'm going to forget what I've said, to who, about what, and if you are that guy, or the other guy, and what we talked about in comments or person.
So... just ignore what you can, and pretend that you didn't hear the phrase other people might be offended by as I actually don't know that you're a Chevy guy, not a Ford guy, or that we've been chatting along with email and Facebook, as well as in the comments section.
I simply can't remember. Oh, and no - I'm pretty sure I don't owe you a beer. But, I wouldn't be surprised to find that I forgot you owe ME one! Ha!

The 20-20 rule: You clearly remember anything that happened within the last 20 minutes, and more than 20 years ago. The rest is a bit of a blur.
ReplyDeleteIn 2015, I wrote an e-mail:
ReplyDeleteHi Jesse,
I plan a three week trip to California in August. With my wife. And we go to San Diego. Would be nice to meet you.
Your answer :
That is terrific! I'd like to meet and chat! I buy the first beer though, that's my rule!
Remind me closer to August though, I'm probably going to forget before the weekend is out.
Unfortunatelly, we missed our meeting. Maybe a beer in 2018 ?
Of course! Ha! I'm not the only one to forget, lol... I can't recall that note at all, but I absolutely stand by it! If you make it to San Diego, or we are at some car show in Los Angeles at the same time, or SEMA, then darn right lets meet and I'm buying the first round!
DeleteHow in the heck did you recall that note after 2 years?
My brain is still working...! And I'm gonna open a beer now.
DeleteBy the way, thanks for posting all the fantastic stuff !
It is literally my pleasure to find and post stuff
DeleteI'm sure I still have the email where you promised me a beer if I ever get out your way! Of course that was a bunch of years ago now.
ReplyDeleteIt's still good! No expiration date
DeleteSo, how many beers do you really owe all your readers ?
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't owe them... they owe me. They gotta show up and sit down and share some camaraderie. All I have to do is provide a beer! I'm getting off easy! And here's the best part, I'm just one guy, and they are dozens! Or hundreds! If my 1st round and sharing some fun car stuff can motivate them, I'll have a lot of great people making their way to my town to come see me and I'll have a LOT of great people stopping by! Tell me, has anything else got that much return on investment? And I'm not dealing in Old Milwaukee, or whatever weak stained river water passes for beer, I'm good for whatever is on tap, in the countries largest micro brew city, good ol San Diego. Where the surf never ends and neither does the number of cool cars or young college girls walking by on the boardwalk. Yep, I got lucky with my city of choice to settle down in, well, until I can't work due to old age or I can't afford to be due to cost of living. Until then, it's hot rods, sports cars, etc etc and 5 universities and who knows how many colleges supplying a new class of young beautiful women every year. Too old to even think about talking to them, but hell, it's nothing but eye candy for the old who can appreciate beauty. Just like looking in a showroom of 50's/60's Italian sports cars.
