Happy I cut down that tree in my front yard though.
Glad you guys are safe. Power was out at work for the first hour or so and then it was restored. Heard Albany was safe but Newburgh area got hit hard.

Indy 500 and Monaco Grand Prix this weekend. Also PWC races at Lime Rock.

The punters seem to be favoring Rossi at the brickyard

Road rage or BMW driver just keeping up the stereotype

That’s when the BMW asshole must have injected himself with weaponized assholium and really pushed the limits of assholedom. He began honking, nonstop, yelling for the woman to move her car, and then attempting to push the Audi with his BMW, resulting in the pathetically hilarious scene of the BMW’s rear wheels spinning fecklessly against the pavement.

Trying to talk my BIL in Dallas into an S2000. There is an AP2 with high miles in his neck of the woods and I may have talked him into going to see the car. If he sees it, I'll ratchet up the pressure and then talk him into getting it.

Watching Indycar race at Texas right now. This series has become more interesting this year, too bad they won't be at the Glen this year. Montreal tomorrow, I haven't made that race since 1998. General admission then meant seeing very little, but the v-10 shriek was deafening, loved it. Went to race in 89 and 98, good stuff. Isle of man senior tt 11pm on velocity channel. Enjoy

Quite a bit of racing this weekend. I recorded the Indy race but not sure if I will have a chance to watch it. I try to make watching the races part of father-daughter bonding actvities, but JJ isn't very happy about that

I hate to say to say it lad, but you're in for some rough times. Forget trucks and cars. My Little Pony, Princesses and kitty-cats are in your future.

That may be what eventually happens. But until then whenever I show her a horse, I’m going to teach her to say Ferrrrraaarrriiii
