Yeah yeah – three posts from me in a day. I’m not allowed to be chatty? (or bored…)
I got the estimate back from the body shop last night: $1,891, just a hair more than the $1,800 that State Farm has set as a limit below which they won’t raise our insurance rates. I have a good feeling about this shop, though, and I think I can talk them down somehow to get them to drop the price by $91 (or a few more dollars). I also realized as I walked out last night that now I was driving a car with only on headlight. I called my insurance agent this mornign and they immediately took the attitude of, “Oh, we can’t have that!” and immediately set about arranging a rental car for me today. I’ll be dropping my car at the body shop at 5 PM and Enterprise should be there with a car waiting for me. We might be paying a bit more than with other insurance providers, but it’s nice to know we get good service for the extra bucks.
Not a lot planned for tonight, which is nice. I’ll probably be hanging around at home and working on editing the Restaurant and Services Guide together. My goal is to get it knocked out by the end of the weekend and e-mailed off to aureth.
Tomorrow, assuming that we can overcome weekend inertia, I plan to drive with linnaeus down to Bev-Art in some scary Southside neighborhood and see if there really is a decent homebrewing shop in the Chicago area (I certainly haven’t seen one yet!). The afternoon is set aside for Restraunt Guide work, then rumor has it that I’ll be joining daveqat and jimcyl for a trip up to Milwaukee for a trip to The Safe House. Should be an entertaining, if kitschy, evening. Then Sunday it’s off to justincheetah‘s Halloween party. Hmm, I should think about cooking something for that, if I have the time. We’ll see how things go tomorrow.
Argh! 5 PM can’t get here soon enough!
Man, you are going to busy this weekend. This sucks that I won’t be doing much this weekend since I’am just going out to get some candy on Sunday and that’s it. There are no Halloween parties that are around my age near me and I have no car to drive to any. I hope you have a great Halloween though.
I still wanna hit the Safe House sometime!
As for brew stores, long as you’re heading up there:

Hmm. Never been to Bev-Art. I sort of know where it is; it’s not my first choice in places to go to in Chicago. ;P The local store by me is tiny, but the guys behind the counter are good, the ingredients are always fresh, so I can forgive them for not having a huge selection.
The last time I was at the Safe House was on a field trip in high school. And I remember it being quite fun; I imagine I would enjoy it even more now as an adult.
