Back from Mfest. NH was a shitshow but what you expect from the Florida of the north. Happy to be home. What a great weekend.
Jeezus.
An hour getting through the Fairplay stop light and then slow all the way after Shawnee.Jeezus.
Nuts hailstorm near Fairplay, inches of the stuff on cars and the road. The mountains looked like fresh snow after Jefferson/Kenosha.
She had her best race of the year in the qualifier, heat, and final - all back to back.
Qualified third, but spun getting stuck behind Seb (again) so she couldn't start up her pace again. She got a 1 position penalty for an unsafe track entry after spinning, so started the heat in 4th.
In the heat, she was on fire. She and Seb were fighting hard for 3rd, when she cut outside-in on a hairpin. In the runout he had nowhere to go and drove himself off the track and into a puddle. She hunted down 2nd place (the kid who only races nationals), who was 10sec ahead over the next 3 laps, then passed him while he was being super defensive. She had it locked in 2nd then braked on a white line and spun. She closed back to 2 kart lengths after being over 15 behind, but ran out of time. 1st got DQ'd in tech, so she was in 2nd for the final.
In the final, she got pushed to 3rd in turn 2, but never got separated from the group. Instead, 2-4 were swapping places and lines like braids. She got back up into 2nd, then 4th cut under to go for 3rd, but it pushed her back to 2nd and 3rd to 2nd. She was in a passing position when they called the race for lightning, so she finished in 3rd. She's never been happier about a third.

Jinxed myself, I bought this a while back because it was light, seems it's a bit too light. Grabbed the safety handle thing and snapped the switch actuator.
Then cracked some screw mounts off by doing the "Which screws are next?" wobble, the plastic seems really brittle.
wow. not gonna lie. that's a sport full of douchey, maga-looking assholes. hope your girl shows em up. i couldn't stand to be within spitting distance of most of those asshats.
what is your plan for these "several" watermelons?
Woke up intending to ride, but felt a bit beat after a long week of work and beach day yesterday.
So it's off to buy several watermelons. Cause that'll surely help.
you fill them with alcohol
LOL. I assumed, but wanted to see what's "on tap"
I hope they are super good. The one I got for the weekend was meh.
That's generally my goal with watermelon. If it met all the nutritional needs to survive, I think it would be my go to.
Good watermelon is absolutely phenomenal. Like mind blowingly delicious.
Bad watermelon, on the other hand, is absolute trash. I've cut open watermelons and throw them straight into the woods. It's amazing how one fruit can have such a huge range of deliciousness.
You are not incorrect. But she's pretty solid. One family on the team is MAGA, but more of the residual 5th generation farmer (quiet racist, loud religious) type, but nobody says anything. I have a feeling that Greg (tall guy on left) put them into their place pretty early on for them to not say anything. Most of the parents are more conservative, but the kids are definitely not.
There is definite misogyny in the environment but the team is good. The league changed the rules about lap traffic halfway through the day yesterday, which conveniently black flagged all three of the girls in the Jr1 (8-12) group after one lapping. We're talking with the new circuit owners and the girls' parents about setting up a lead-follow day with Haley. That way they can learn lines and get more comfortable chasing somebody at speed and having data to compare to. We can't have more girls if we don't make it possible for them to succeed and right now, Haley is the oldest/most skilled of the girls in their age group who can lead something like that.
And there is a lot of douchy, top competitor level arrogance (see Trooper - guess who that is.
) but it can come with any sport. Of the 36 possible trophies for their categories this weekend, this group got 13 of them. For the most part, FDM is dominant in the state and regionally, and a top competitor nationally.
I've had some good watermelon... but apparently not the *really* good stuff. 'Cause even good watermelon I can take or leave.
peaches would like a word...
There's nothing worse than biting into a bland, mealy peach.
It's true. Canteloupe and honeydew as well. Such high highs, such low lows.
Good news, watermelon #1 is tasty and will be even moreso once it has a day in the fridge post-butchering.
this is fantastic

Max on Instagram: "Hello its me max that one aircraft mechanic guy that likes to talk about airplanes. Anyways I’m pretty stoked cause I’m gonna be going to San Diego comicon this week after I was invited by @theringsofpower to attend the events and hang out with people and maybe mention something about airplanes; and to meet some of the Tolkien folks from around the internet that Ive yet to meet in person. If you’d told me two years ago “max you’re invited to San Diego comicon to hang out and talk about lord of the rings for a few days” I would have been like “why I’m just a random aircraft mechanic” and if you asked me today I’d be like “why I’m just a random aircraft mechanic on the internet” I never really set out with any goals or expectations when I started making these, I still don’t have any. Im honestly super shocked at how it’s turned into a thing? and now this page almost has 600k people following it, but social media isn’t real life, and my day to day life is the same as it was before all of this. I spend most every day just going to work, folding laundry, cooking, cleaning, homework, and most importantly (trying) to raise my two boys the best way I know how to as a single dad, and it’s the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done. But sometimes it’s tangible, and in ways it has changed my life in a surprising way. mostly because of the people I’ve met and connected with because of this page, some of whom have become good friends that I never would have known otherwise. I guess I’m just glad to be here and excited for the opportunities. Life doesn’t close a door without cracking a window I guess, sometimes it’s just hard to see the window. I guess all of yall that have followed along and been so kind have made the window for me, so thank you all for the unexpected journey this little page has become. #comicon #sdcc #ringsofpower"
