I drove to Dad's house today instead of walking. The weather was a bit chilly with some light rain. After working out, the rain became heavier with lightning and hail.

On Monday, I signed up for a Wednesday meetup at Voodoo Brewing. The RSVP list was full, and I was put on a waitlist. A spot opened up for me earlier today.

The FoxTrot meet was held last night. I had missed the December meet, so this was the first time I had been to the meet's new location. The club is called #VYBE, and it's only a few blocks away from the now-closed Denver Sweet bar. The new bar has hot food, but I just had two Jack-and-cokes, along with some spicy snack mix from one of the vending machines.

I need to remember to clip my toenails more frequently. I had let them grow really long before cutting them today.

I was invited to listen to a former co-worker's band at a downtown restaurant tonight. This band was last known as the Two Tones, but their name is now the Custer Street Combo. The band leader offered to cover my tab and also asked me to take pictures of them playing. I had some vegan curry with rice along with three glasses of Strongbow cider.

 I got a prescription for Ozempic this week. I will pick it up at Costco today after working out. I made an appointment with a nutritionist for next week.

UPDATE (7:30 PM): My catering order today had one error, but otherwise it was fantastic. The restaurant had forgotten one of the items, which wasn't discovered until I had made the delivery. Per the customer's request, I called the restaurant and asked them to give the customer a credit for the missing item. The customer gave me a $115 cash tip for the $800 order!

I've popped the cork on a bottle of brut sparkling wine for tonight. I really hope 2026 goes much better for me than 2025 did.

I got a few pairs of pants and an Airmoto car tire inflater for Christmas. This year's stocking of goodies included a handful of mini candy bars and several packets of fruit snacks with Pokémon, Sonic the Hedgehog and Scooby-Doo labels.

At Dave & Buster's, I had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries and two of their "Dangerous Waters Island Punch" drinks. I will have my family's traditional ravioli for dinner tonight at Dad's house.

I don't know if I'll have a white Christmas this year. The forecast currently shows today will be in the upper-40s, with 50s and low-60s between tomorrow and December 23rd. No snow is in the forecast.

A local British pub has relocated to the downtown area. A group I belong to will meet there for dinner tonight.

UPDATE: The pub said it was unable to accommodate our group, so the group met at another downtown bar. I had a sausage pizza with green chiles and pepper jack cheese.

I got my car's oil changed today. According to the car's owner's manual, the oil should be changed every 6,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. The odometer reading was 5,422, but I've had the car for over 8 months.

I'll attend a meetup in a bit at the Rock Bottom restaurant that's just a mile away. When I took improv classes in Denver long ago, the group would often go to the Rock Bottom location near the theater after class. That location had a parking garage below it and validated parking for anyone parked there.

Rain delay

Dad and I decided not to go miniature golfing today since it's starting to rain. I still have a dinner meetup later today.

The batteries I bought yesterday are the right ones. For future reference, they are size N batteries.

I think my job interview with Domino's Pizza went well. I was told I would need to trim my mustache if I am hired to be no longer than 3/4 inch. The store has more applicants to interview, but I should hear from the store in a few days.

A friend invited me to a restaurant on Wednesday to hear his new duo play. I already have another meetup to attend that day, but they only overlap by a half hour. I'll just leave the first meetup 20 minutes early to go where my friend is playing.

DenFur's photo shoot went well. I was able to find myself in the photo even though I was partially obscured. The color wheel photos took place afterward. The entire group had its picture taken, followed by each color group.

I got lunch and dinner today from the Noodles & Company across the street from the hotel.

FoxTrot wrapped up the evening with its dance. The bar had two special drinks. The "Blucifer" drink had vodka, lemonade and blue curaçao. The "Pikes Peak Punch" had fruit punch and spiced rum. I had two of the Blucifer drinks tonight.

I'll get a haircut either Thursday or Friday to look nice for DenFur next week. I found a discount code for Subway on Facebook, so I can save money buying a footlong.

I went to the Agave Lounge again for a meetup. This time, I had the lounge's eloté mac and cheese with a few Modelo beers.

I'll be heading to a meetup in about an hour. There's a new hotel located near the Air Force Academy, and the meetup is in the bar on the hotel's top floor.

Tomorrow, I've got a catering delivery that needs to go to Cascade, about 10 miles northwest of Colorado Springs.

On Tuesday, a repairman came by the condo to fix my refrigerator. According to the work order, the fridge's defrost panel had to be replaced. I'm glad the work was done quickly and was covered by a protection plan so I didn't have to pay anything.

I need to keep a closer eye on my spending. I've been going out to eat more than I should, which puts a huge dent in my budget.

My replacement car registration arrived in the mail today. Now I can resume making deliveries.

I got a flash flood alert on my cell phone. There was only light rain when I got the message, but the rain is starting to increase. It's supposed to stop around 6 or 7 PM, when I'll be at a meetup.

I went to put my latest car insurance document in my car's insurance/registration folder, only to find it wasn't in the glove compartment. I looked all over the car and my condo and couldn't find it. I'll ask my dad if I left it in his car after our last visit to the Space Force base. Just in case I lost it somewhere else, I ordered a new copy of my registration and should receive it in a week or two.

Wednesday's dinner at the Rabbit Hole was nice, even though the restaurant was dimly lit. I had the truffle mac and cheese with bacon and two cherry limeade martinis. After dinner, the group went to a piano bar called Louie Louie's. It's similar to the chain Howl at the Moon since it has two pianos on stage, along with guitars and drums for some of the songs.

I heard the Denver Sweet bar where the FoxTrot meet has been held is closing after this weekend. The August and October Foxtrots are already scheduled for different locations. Hopefully a new permanent location can be found for December.

The catering order I delivered today was a bit late. When I got to the restaurant, the employees told me the order hadn't been started yet. In addition to waiting for the order to finish, I seemed to hit almost every red light on the way to the customer.

Tomorrow, I'll attend a meetup at a downtown bar called The Rabbit Hole.

It's raining right now. I hope the rain will stop in a few hours since a meetup I'm going to later is at a bar with a large patio. Yesterday's meetup was supposed to be on a restaurant's patio, but the hot weather moved the group indoors.

UPDATE: There was still light rain when I arrived at the bar, so everyone was inside. There was a food truck outside selling soul food and seafood. I got some boneless chicken wings with Nashville hot coating.

I went to the monthly broadcasters' lunch today. The group talked about a possible duopoly with two of the local network TV affiliates. The CBS affiliate is being traded to the company which owns the NBC affiliate. The FCC would need to grant a waiver for this to happen.

I'll be getting out of the condo more often next week. I'll go to meetups on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
jcollie719: (Subaru Impreza 2024)
I'll be making a large catering delivery tomorrow morning. I hate when the order pickup time is scheduled before the restaurant opens since the restaurant won't usually let me in early. I should be done in time to do my regular noon workout at Dad's house. I have a meetup later that evening.

UPDATE: The restaurant let me in before opening time, so the order was ready and delivered on time.

I went to another meetup tonight in Manitou Springs. The band that had played at the Townhouse Lounge last time was there again. The lounge has a version of the Adios MF drink called Adios Amigo; I didn't order it because I wasn't sure how strong it was and wanted to be able to drive home. I originally ordered a bourbon and coke, but they forgot the coke.

I was a little worried near the end of the night when I saw a tow truck towing a car that looked like mine. Thankfully it wasn't mine.
