Ever need a little time-off from your time-off? That's how I feel after my long weekend (Thurs-Mon off.) It was scheduled to allow me to finish moving from Ada to downtown Grand Rapids.
Instead, I found myself at work Thursday morning, reporting on the helicopter crash at the hospital. What a story!
We did eventually get the truck loaded, and moved into our new digs at "The Boardwalk" the next day, just in time to meet some friends at the Van Andel for the Tom Petty show (which was fantastic.)
Saturday was mostly spent unpacking boxes and making sense of the spaghetti behind my entertainment system, PC, XBOX 360, ect ect.
Sunday a friend of mine, who works with Skater Power Boats in Douglas gave us an impromptu tour of the factory. What a sight, dozens of million dollar plus super-cats at every stage of construction. Hard to believe that some of the fastest and most expensive toys in the world are built right here in West Michigan.
He tells me, even with gas prices, there's a 2-year waiting list and they're at full production.
The weekend wrapped-up with the Van Halen concert, where I took more abuse for looking a little like Diamond David Lee Roth. That used to be a good thing in the early 80's... now, not so much. Anyway, I need a break from my break.
