It was awesome! I spent Friday-Sunday at Road America, watching race cars and riding scooters.

It’s too hot for camping in the South right now. That’s a quick road to misery.

I spent Saturday doing chores. My son now has a 6'x8' whiteboard on one of his walls. I got started on tracking down the fault in the home alarm system, but didn’t make it far.

Sunday was church, then an escape room, then travel back to Houston.

Do you have any issues with the front canoe tie-down scratching the paint?

Like 8 billion people in the world... That would be at least 8 billion comments. Are you ready for that?

Took the Ranger for its first offroading under my ownership, then went to Chicago PrideFest!

Sweet. Where did you spend most of the race?

Sounds awesome! I have not driven anything but the 02 since Thursday so I’m better than average by default. We took it on a road trip to a friends wedding , back roads the whole way and the weather was perfect! Then I got to park it in a garage and drink and dance until Sunday.

I also was camping; at least, Friday night. Lookout Mountain area, extremely north part of Georgia. It was a friend’s birthday, I cooked steaks, then we got attacked by wind and rain. I had just bought a six-person Kelty, and it held up well, so...

Visited Ruby Falls the next day.

I’d have enjoyed canoeing but it wasn’t in the schedule or on the menu.

Pretty damn good! Been camping a lot this year. Thankfully the ground wasn’t overly flooded from all the rain and storms we had the past week. This is down near Cape May, NJ fwiw.

I spent most of it at our camp site on the inside of 3. We see some good action there, plus there is a screen across the track where we can see everything else going on.

Shit, I always forget to mark Indy cars at Road America on my calendar. It’s still on my motorsports to-do list.

It wasn’t going to happen this year anyways though as I have a 2 week old right now.

I was going to camp near Asheville in Pisgah on Saturday night, but in the morning I saw the storms coming and changed my plans.

It would have been fine, but I’m out of practice and was going to bring the dog for his first sleep-in-tent adventure, and it seemed better to cancel, and go have brisket with neighbors instead.

Then I used a handsaw to cut down a 20 foot tall cedar on a steep slope behind my house. Good times.

Sweet campsite, we are headed out next weekend with the trailer..

Spent this weekend road-tripping for my niece’s 1st birthday, cakes were smushed, messes were made..

I was all set to drive the practical Forester when my wife said, ‘You’re going to want to show off your new truck mods, why don’t we take it?’

Kinda ridiculous .

Good - I’ m stabile enough to walk around and work with a brace so long as i don’t extend my knee all the way or twist. I got the garage partially cleaned up, which is a huge relief...it’s been a busy June and its become a huge mess.

Bad - Still can’t do fun stuff. Still months away from Surgery that will take half a year to recover from. My brothers life is about to catastrophically fall apart...so that sucks.

Sorry to hear, but glad you’re on the mend. Hopefully things start to look up.

Not bad, at all. Saw the Rolling Stones tour opener Friday night. Relaxed Saturday and got a few errands done (finally gave in a bought some Yeti products) . Yesterday took the pups on a nice walk before the storms arrived (if not for the storms we would’ve taken them to the dog beach for a bit) and we got some work done on the fireplace.

Outdoor Bacon and Bourbon festival with an awesome AC- DC cover band. Oh and it snowed.

Sounds busy!

No issues with scratches so far. The black nylon straps get washed at the beginning of the season as they live under the hood during the winter and get a bit crusty. The rope is a soft polyester (I believe).

I may be getting micro scratches, I haven’t really looked, but this isn’t a show car.

Saturday we changed out all 4 struts on the Datsun. Sunday it rained all damn day.

It’s always difficult to come back to “normal” life after a good weekend out in nature. While its a good reset for me, its just hard to go back to work and readjust sometimes.

This weekend I had a nice 3 dayer due to taking off Friday. Did a track day at Buttonwillow, did some shopping on Saturday (for a surf board), and Sunday attempted to go surfing for the first time on my own but it was way too windy. Thankfully I really just wanted to test out my new wetsuit and ended up boogie boarding instead. Still a great time at the beach and I will have to wake up early for some better surfing conditions.

It was great! Went for a trip up to Sacramento to see my BF (he is home for summer) and went to a party and had some fun. Far too hot outside though.

Mark it down for next year, June 18-21 2020. If you buy early enough, weekend passes are only $100. You'll love it!

My wife hates camping but I managed to persuade her to stay here on our trip from Chicago to PA this week. Also pictured, my new V60 picked up Saturday. Went to the Cleveland zoo this morning.
