Wow, it’s kind of been a busy week
I think I’ll go backwards. Yesterday morning I dropped off Nighthawk for its 20000 mile checkup at mile 20504. (which oddly enough is a zip code in Washington DC, a place the car has been often.) I picked it up this morning. The maintenance costs on it haven’t been as bad as I expected. In the meantime i’ve been in dad’s Ridgeline - which, while it is a nice truck, I don’t like as much as the Element. Also, I took advantage of the sunshine and mowed the lawn.
Previous to that, it’s been a normal week, just with more dogsitting. Caught up on the Sopranos, which is having a great season. Watched a crap ton of Veronica Mars, which is also a great show.
Sunday I spent mostly nursing a hangover. Saturday I cleaned up Nighthawk pretty well, it looks tons better on the inside. Saturday night I did the drinking that gave me the hangover. Friday I attended a class thing for a friend, and then stepped foot on the Dover Downs campus for the first time. I only had dinner there, no racing involved. I haven’t gone that far over the deep end. After that, I went and saw "Lucky Number Slevin".
It was an interesting movie - pretty good story, and great cast. It got a little slow in the middle, but the twists and turns made up for it.
That’s pretty much it for the last few days. Possibly another movie in my future this weekend, just another excuse to put even more miles on the car. I’m certainly racing through them.
