Day 8?
Man I can't remember the order of operations here, thank god for google location history.
So on Day 7 joy and steve actually dropped us off at the airport, to go home? nope, to get a rental car.
We departed them and headed out to goodyear where my buddy Craig lives. I believe @David Taylor and Smokey both know him. We partied with them for a bit, ate some awesome mexican food with craig and his wife and slept in an actual bed for the first time since we got to Arizona.
Woke up ( this is actually day 8 now) and got some awesome mexican breakfast burritos with Craig.
Then we headed out to Craig's work to troubleshoot some old ford. It was eating at his soul and I know a bunch about small block fords so we offered to go over there. There was a fitmet issue between a new distributor and the existing oil pump driveshaft on a 60's couger. Helped craig shuttle a car back to his house too.
We left there and went to the local BMX track for race day. Was pretty cool to see all the races going. Hung out there for a while and got to catch up with craig and plan the insanity of trying to get my old internet friends to all meet up.
When I logged on to IRC for the first time in 1997 from college, there were about a dozen people in #thecorral including @EVLGT85, this chick Skye from IL, @BLSMBL a kid Nick from Detroit, @TRUMPS from Sacramento.
Skye and Trumps had since moved to Phoenix, and Nick was in town doing testing for Ford trucks. We met up in Phoenix at a coffee spot, but Nick couldn't join in, he was stuck at work. We hung out all night, it was great. I still regularly talk to these folks. Skye is a fiery redhead who had grabbed me by the ankle and straightened my dumb ass out when I was a moron in my 20's. I would have been a 100% different person today entirely for the worst if I had never met her. I've hung out with Skye in Kentucky, upstate NY, and Phoenix a few times before. Jason (Trumps) is one of the 1% of intelligence plus social skills, really cool guy. He's worse than me with cars. He has two 500hp audis, a mustag cobra, an old jeep wrangler, and some piece of shit lease jetta like carson. I've hung out with Jason in San Diego, Kentucky, and Phoenix before. All he does is explode things and fix them. And runs IT at a helicopter company. Nick works for ford trucks, he used to work for Roushe doing testing. He's the one that could have gotten @Carson 's mustang built properly. I've hung out with him in Kentucky, New York City, New Jersey, and now Phoenix. Nick has motorcycles dirt bikes, shitty cars, tube amp with a turntable that plays punk music, and a passion for driving junk. He's real similar to me.
Had a great night and didn't take a single god damn picture.
