The Blue Car Turns 10
According to the documentation that came with my BMW 328 (which I bought used), it indicates that the car rolled off the assembly line on March 1st, 1996... 10 years ago today. I bought the the blue car on March 4th, 1998 (8 years ago on Saturday) and it still drives like a champ. I'm planning on driving it until Berkeley turns 16.

Foxtrot
We continue to enjoy our Ballroom Sampler class. Tonight we learned a few basic Foxtrot dance steps. Foxtrot is a "glide and slide" dance, which I seem to be better at (as opposed to those dances where you just stay in one place and show of your moves - like salsa and swing). Next week... the rumba!

Home Removation Project: Vault Removal: Wood Floor Opinions
Kristy has had a good look at the floors now (she arrived back home late last night). She isn't as bent out of shape about the scratches as I am. She is more concerned about the lack of smoothness on the finish; which is a problem due to the amount of gunk (and bubbling) present in all of the rooms. That doesn't bother me so much because it will get buffed out before the third coat of finish it put down.

I had a friend come over today and take a look at the floors. He is a property manager and has wood floors refinished at different properties on occasion. He agreed that the scratching was noticeable and recommended that it be re-sanded with a finer grit.

I also talked to our contractor today by phone. He had a look over the weekend and wasn't happy about the sloppiness either. He is going to stop by tomorrow. We are at a loss as to what needs to be done. Having the floors stripped down to the wood again will be a major pain.
