(My back appreciates) the roof slid again when I was back east watching my beloved Terps lose a few basketball games while visiting friends:

I had to dig out the front entrance.

86% of normal snowpack is surprising given how dry it seems comparatively:

Montucky even worse, hello "early" biking season and smokey summer:

Today shall be a day in the garage. Would like to get my daughter's car all put back together but noticed too late that a bracket was bent and I'm now waiting on parts. So, I'll probably just get the fender back on it. After that, get to work on the kart since I spent a stupid amount of money on that thing over the last 6 days.

I'd like to go for a ride but it just loves to rain every Friday / Saturday and the trails are closed. Bike has been (very) neglected lately.

Haley's "boyfriend" in karting (he asked her out) is getting his ass handed to him at Rotax right now. Gave her the update so she texted him to get him cheered up. He's feeling better and ready to go into qualifying. His first national, so stepping into the deep end is rough for him. Nice for her to get ready for it coming.

Buy a kart they said...

So how's Caesar? I'm assuming him, because Greg's at Rotax.
Haven’t called there yet. Turns out the Southeast Compkart distributor has his shop at the local track. However, I don’t even need to go there to spend money!

Since Monday:

-Stand
-Seat
-Ribvest
-Suit
-Trailer
-Up next, Mychron

I’ve been down this road before though. I knew what I was getting into.

Day 3 of 4 off and it's nice. Got the junk room cleaned out and converted to a workout room. Mowed the yard for the first time in a few months. Need to rent a chainsaw and cut up some wood.

There is a "classic" Giant DH with Monster T on Facebook for $350. It's a good thing I'm broke right now. :rofl:

Took a $40 chance on an ebay auction with little description and worse photos. Turned out to be a lovely ceylon blue star sapphire in sterling. Haven't had an ebay score in like a decade lol

thought i'd go to the gym early today and get it out of the way. breakfast, no coffee, zero energy. i really need 2 meals and 4 shots of espresso to do anything.
