Sometimes weird/cool things just happen!

This weekend was a pretty productive weekend. We had a great “Guy’s Night” where we introduced @NeuralClone to [amazon_link id=”B0051E9INK” target=”_blank” ]Highlander[/amazon_link], since he had never seen it. (I know, right?) After which we watched Iron Sky. You know, the Nazis on the moon movie. Seriously, go watch that. It’s one of the funniest movies I have seen.

Saturday the weather was amazing so I spent the time outside replacing the thermostat on my truck. This is a big accomplishment for me since I am still convinced that the engine in most cars runs on magical wishes and unicorn dreams. Now if I could just get a starter that works when I shout “ENGINUS COMBUSTUS!” So you can understand that doing any sort of work on a car is a big deal for me. Having finished up this feat of manliness, I decided to take Sarah out for dinner for a nice evening.

This is really where the weird/cool stuff happens.

We drove down to Old Town Manassas to go to a small restaurant called City Square Cafe. It’s a nice little place with outdoor seating. Dinner was good, the company was great. (But then, that’s why I keep her around right?) After dinner we thought we would try our hand at a few GeoCaches that were close by. It made for a good excuse to walk around and enjoy the evening.

No luck on those, by the way. It was dark and we just couldn’t find anything.

When we returned to the car we found this note on the windshield.
Now, you probably know this, but I wear my geek on my sleeve. The back of my MINI has the plate “WIZ-POD”, since my truck has “W1ZZER”, and I have lots of stickers of geeky things. This would have to be one of the first time I have ever been hit on due to my car being geeky.
Sarah and I had a good chuckle about the event and, while I thought it would be weird if I emailed her, Sarah took the initiative and sent off a note to say “Hi!” Clearly it takes a lot of Chutzpah to drop a note like that to meet someone so, you never know, she may be a cool person to know!
