Good Afternoon Everyone!

Slept in - that was nice! Watched a few movies this morning and basically just took it easy. Sound like everyone has / had a full Sunday! Off to do some shopping with the wife!

1:51p.m. - 87 degrees - nice and warm!

The problem with F1 is similar to the problem with NA$CAR: too much aero that doesn't allow the cars to pass due to disturbed air, and makes the cars more dependant on aero for handling as opposed to chassis setup. I think what NA$CAR should do is get rid of the plate, dirty up the cars in a big way to slow them down at the big tracks and get rid of the aero; this will return car setup to the chassis guy and put more emphasis on driver skill, and allow the cars to pass and accellerate out of a nasty situation. Same thing for F1, drastically lessen the downforce and make the cars more driver dependant.

Today hovered around 80, but I think it was probably the most humid day of the summer so far. A serious pool/beach day. Driving around in Neb was a bit of wet mop syndrome.

You picked a helluva day to do sweaty work, bkw!

BTW, are those Prodrives on your Spa? How do you like your Element -- pretty funky looking vehicle!

Charlie

How did you get Neb out of the garage. It was rainy all day here. I mean heavy rains, downpours. How did you keep from getting the interior wet?

Brian

Man, you picked the worst day of summer to work on the car. I'm surprised that you only lost 15 lbs. With the heat and the humidity you must have been soaked.

With all the shopping, what did you buy me? Is my toaster on the way?

Sunday, 8:xx PM, low 70s, cloudy, t-stormy and rain. It's been downhill from earlier today when I finished washing the S. Weather radar showed repeated storm flareups happening right over us and moving east. West of us it was clear. Sheesh!!!

Maybe tomorrow brings a better day...
