A Montero Marzen?
There was some big news (OK, maybe not big, but certainly important to some) yesterday. The Sounders have an official beer supplier! Yes, an official beer supplier, they have teamed up with RedHook. This is a clear win/win/win (Redhook/Sounders/Me) situation and dare we dream of getting more good beer into RBP? I do look forward to a LongHammer or Copperhook to go with the game…
And it still keeps going…
So today I got to spend almost an hour on the home with the Verizon/Frontier Communication fraud and security people. Apparently the $500 and change collection bill that arrived last week was not for the cable bill, it was for not returning the equipment within 30 days of the service being canceled. Service to the house was canceled on November 6th, I was not living…
The road to nowhere
The road to nowhere is a Talking Heads song (Ozzy had one with that title too) that seemed appropriate when I took the long way home tonight after work. There are some stunning roads in the foothills, and it helps me get somewhat centered in what has been a full and exciting day. Well we know where we’re goin’ But we don’t know where we’ve…
The rain has stopped…
I’ve not been posting so much of what I’d call heavy stuff over the last few months, there are a couple of reasons for that that I’ll get to. This weekend has sealed a few things for me. I spent some time with very old and close friends, people who tell me how thing are and don’t sugarcoat the bad, or play down the good….
Clean up time
After two days of watching racing and helping out the organizers a little my car was rather muddy. By the end of two days of racing the track surface has the consistency of wet concrete with a lot of gravel in the mix. Difficult to drive on and it gets everywhere on the car. I only tootled along some of the better bits of the…
Another great day at the races…
I did make it out to Snoqualmie this evening for the final couple of rally-cross races. I do enjoy this sort of wheel-to-wheel racing and while it’s not rally, it does not pretend to. It’s a very accessible (for the spectator) and all happens in a compact, controlled area with whatever obstacles the organizers want to build. The finals were excellent, close racing and very…
Racing and racing people…
This is a story about racing, it’s something that’s important to me and also something I think I’m pretty good at. I think I’ve proven that, and in a sport where experience is huge, I’ve got a shed load of that. And not just because I’m old either. As much fun as getting into a race car is, it’s second to the people with in…
A spectacular evening, and a wet day
Last night had quite incredible light, there was a huge storm rolling in the trees were thrashing and the sky was almost yellow at one point. It was a short, but very spectacular storm and quite something to watch through the patio doors. The storm blew itself out and left today another wet spring day. I’m ready for the rain to stop, but it was…
Winding down by spinning up…
Another long day at work, It is becoming something of a trend, but it’s one of those “power through it” weeks with a lot happening on a tight deadline. It’s fun to back in the middle of things, it’s so been worth the effort. On the even brighter side, my current project has given me lots of excuses to blow off meetings. Tonight to help…
