David's Birthday Weekend

Ahh...what a mess!

I had the entire birthday planned out and it went horrible. Saturday went well, we stayed home and did a lot of stuff around the house. We worked on concreting around the pool, pulling weeds, and working on the pool itself. It was enjoyable. We rearranged the furniture in the living room after a major cleaning. Fallon enjoyed being outside with us in the afternoon as well. Then I tried cooking dinner. I was making my version of chicken fried steak. My first egg ended up on the floor, the second attempt egg ended up in the drain, and finally the third egg ended being the egg bath for the cube steak. Then I ended up burning myself from the oil in the pan. I wasn't supposed to cook, that's for sure.

Today's David's 38th birthday and I had two ideas for his birthday. The first one was to have a picnic on the Cherohaula Skyway, a place that we love to ride the motorcycles. Then I checked the weather and it was going to be in the 90's so I scrapped that because of it being to hot for Fallon. So I decided that we would go to Lynchburg to the Jack Daniel's distillary and get some bottles that David doesn't have. Well we loaded up and got there to find out that they don't sell the collector's bottles on Sunday. So we went into Lynchburg and ate. Fallon then decided that she wasn't happy so David didn't get a chance to eat in the restaurant. He opted to go to the air conditioned car with her. So I packaged his lunch, ate mine and went out and joined him. She was getting extremely hot and tired so we started home.

Once we got the terrifying exciment started...

I headed to DQ for an ice cream cake for David. I got to the intersection of Paul Huff and Peerless and there was an old man in a pick up truck in the turn right lane. His was followed by a little car and then a white ford F250 then me. The young guy, i'll call him BOB and I'll call the old man, BUD. BOB (young guy) was getting very upset that BUD (old guy at the red light) wasn't pulling out. By law, he doesn't have to. So BOB is honking his horn and then the guy behind me honked and I guess that put BOB over the edge because he got out of his truck and went at BUD. I thought that he was going up to help until he looked back at the line of cars building up and the look of his face was murder. BUD (old guy) got out of his truck and grabbed his iron pipe out of his truck bed to protect himself. BOB took it from him and hit him on the side of the head. I was already on the phone with 911 at this point. BOB continued to get in BUDS face while some other guys came up and broke them up. A woman was out of her car and informed them that she called the police and the guys that arrived and broke the fight up moved thier cars so that BOB could get away before the cops arrived. If I would have had my gun on me and knew that BOB struck BUD (old guy) with the pipe, I would have moved the CR-V up to the bumper of the truck so that he couldn't have backed out to get away from the police coming. I would have wanted something to protect myself with though. In the end, I gave the police my statement, the old man refused the ambulance after they checked him out, and I don't know if they caught BOB. I did finally get the ice cream cake though. WHAT A DAY!
