OK...so how's this for crazy, coincidental, weird...lol
SO called while I was in the shower...his voice sounded strange to me, the message very short "NM, call me when you get this. See ya". Put me on the defensive - he sounded a little PO'd or something.
I called him back, left a VM...he called back again...Asked what I was doing and if I was going to be home...he was in XTown picking up the steel he needs (to finish the work on his pick up) and was going to come over to do the work and wanted to make sure I was going to be here. (To myself: If you're doing work on your truck, what difference does it make if I'm here or not??).
He goes on that he was going to bring me lunch...(cool - I don't have to scrounge anything up!!). Then, he continues that he was in the place buying the steel and (in his words): "I went in there and felt like Elvis!! I couldn't believe it! They were all over me...even gave me all the steel I needed for free." (anyone who read my thread from yesterday would know I used Elvis in a comparison to him!!)
I said "Well, SO, you are a bit like Elvis....around here anyway. I was thinking about this just yesterday - the amount of success you've attained over the years, it's amazing isn't it?" (not an apology - just a start - now I can use this later as an intro when I do decide when to do the apology!!).
I know I said a bit more about his success and how well he's doing - I just don't remember the exact words... ironic, huh?!
