I did not buy the car in Seattle that I test drove last week. This week, however, I bought a car in Canada tha t I have not yet driven . The seller says it runs great except for when it occasionally stalls at stoplights for no reason, so I’m planning to fly to Vancouver and drive it back to Seattle on Monday. Anybody free to have coffee in downtown Vancouver on Monday morning, or a beer in the afternoon before I head for the border?

Stalls for “no reason”. Sure there is definitely no reason lol.

Insert baby yoda hitting bottoms when he was told not to.

I could be available in the afternoon if you were interested! Which border crossing are you using?
If you wanted to come to Fort Langley (easy to get to off the highway) it’s a pretty easy drive to the border!

I talked to a CBP agent who recommended using the Pacific Highway crossing rather than the Peace Arch but I’m open to recommendations. What say you?

I would use the Aldergrove/Lynden crossing. In my experience , it has limited wait times, and you just have to drive down the Guide to I-5.
The drive from Highway 1 to Pac Highway kinda sucks. They both will be about the same overall time.

I watched the Mandalorian last night and now I understand this reference.

That little yoda is the best thing about the show. And by the 4 episode the charm had warn off for me. But the memes are worth it

Did you still want to meet Monday? I work crazy close to Pac highway.
We could meet at Hawthorne Beer Market & Bistro https://maps.app.goo.gl/eY7B4wDdgnfCzyg2A
Its just along the highway down towards the border and about 10 minutes from my office

That sounds great! I’m planning to pick the car up at about 12:30 or 1, so something like 2 or 3 pm if you’re free?

Travel plans changed thanks to the airline...picking up the car more like 2:30. How should I contact you to schedule beer o’clock if you’re still free around 3:30 or 4?

Yeah! I’ll be around!

Second flight canceled. Fuck. Sorry.

No problem, I take it that you won’t make it today then?

I still should make it today but late enough that I’ll have to head straight to the border or it will get real late before I get home.

Thanks! Travel has been a mess today. Hopefully the rest of the day goes more smoothly.

ICYMI . Sorry I couldn’t meet up—turned in to an absurdly long travel day once my second flight got canceled.
