Glad you're making good progress, mkcoen.I got a little bit of work done this afternoon between raindrops. The truck was missing the Bridge Plate numbers when I got it so I was able to get a set in a bag of goodies I got from my dealer in the parking lot of a HEB grocery store today. I'm sure it looked very suspicious with him handing me a brown paper bag and me giving him some cash. When I got home I added the numbers to the truck and, yes I know it's incorrect, I decided to put the year of the truck on display.
And your story reminded me of the time I made a CraigsList sale with a guy who worked at the Federal Reserve Board here in D.C.:
- It was the same thing, a bag exchanged for some big bills at the curbside and next thing I know I have holstered security approaching me aggressively from both sides of the street (the Fed is on both sides at that address).
I had "some 'splaining" to do before I was allowed to get back into my car and leave the area.
That never occurred to either of us when we made arrangements for the buy. I'm sure it's all in my NSA file (with video!). Sort of funny.
