I can think of one I woulda been pissed if I missed..
a girl I had been living with in say the last year (at that time) had passed on, due to hard living.. at age 33..
At the time looked like I would not make it, was 400 miles away.. rrally wanted to be there..
But as luck would have it, I sold a Harley panhead tranny the day before the funeral for cash!! A few months before I had hauled that tranny back from LA in my Oscar cooler on my BMW R100RT, good thing I did..
Cuz I even got laid after the funeral....
