SpindiCate indeed

I'm pretty sure I don't have a complete list of folks whom Cate has enabled in the new-wheel department - but Leanne and Jo are among them (links when bloglines is back up...).  Last night, I get not one but TWO emails from Cate to me and blog-less Marcy - one for a Norm Hall wheel she found in search of a new home, and one for an Aldon Amos banjo charka.  The pretext of the email was that jeeze, ONE of us three should get each of these wheels.  Marcy is going for the charka.  (I have recently acquired a Bosworth Attache charka...that's enough for now.)  I am intriqued with the Norm Hall - drooling is more like it, but Terry was not so thrilled with the cash-outlay part of the picture.  Cate also is lusting after the Norm Hall - and after all, it's her birthday tomorrow, so why not. 

As luck would have it - the Norm Hall lives 1/2 hour from me.  So the plan hatched up is that Cate is buying it, I'm picking it up, and whenever she comes here or we go there it'll change hands.  She may or may not keep it in the long run...depends on (a) a reality check re this wheel vs. her already lovely Alden Amos wheel, and (b) oh I dunno...maybe how beholden I am to it after some time next to my couch ;)

Whaddya think the liklihood is of us visiting them anytime soon now eh??? 

Anyway - I get to play with this for a while - and Terry LOVES this permutation of the plan.

Go wish Cate a happy birthday on Monday!
