\n[16:42:12] I’m really done. Having a hard drive fail the night before a customer visit sucked. Well, fail… anyway. Not the point.
\n[16:45:04] <friend>: Have a beer for me too!
\n[16:45:51] tekhedd: Will do. Think I’ll ride ye bike down to maya cove<\/a>.
\n[16:45:57] Plus side: save on gas money.
\n[16:46:04] Minus side: no excuse not to get totally trolleyed.
\n[16:46:09] <friend>: Ahh!
\n[16:46:14] tekhedd: heh
\n[16:46:38] But hell, if I sell the xbox tomorrow (I now have 5!!! potential buyers in the queue) I will have just enough money to get the car back. No gas money.
\n[16:46:57] $4000? I could buy a second car for that. Or a roomful of hookers.<\/p>\n
