Tomorrow our oldest grandson is graduating from high school. We will be having brunch with family and a few friends, and the graduation ceremony is at 7:30 pm.

He will be heading to University of Florida in Gainesville in the fall, planning to major in finance. I am sure he will like the climate in Florida better than in Ohio.

Congratulations, Great school and weather. Our granddaughter attends Bama. She plans on staying there or Florida. For similar reasons.

Amy was able to get her SLK out on the road for he first time, since buying it in March. We were aiming for it's debut at Marietta, but it may have to hold off for Staunton.

It's a 2004 SLK 230 with a 6-speed automatic.

I have the buffer pad version of this from Griots and really like it. You just use a detailer spray as the lubricant and use the buffer with that pad installed. Works pretty good from my experience with it so far.

Getting some RE-71RS mounted and installing the new front brakes and all new brake lines. Actually going to hit up some autox next weekend. Still have not done a single track or autox event this season. Been holding off since work has been a bit slow and I am being careful but at least going to get some autox in!

Otherwise chipping away at the ever growing list of stuff to do around the house and yard, with some disc golf mixed in

Still doing drainage this weekend. This one's a 16in pipe in a 4ft x 4ft trench, which I'm part way through backfilling with lime. Once it's complete it should be able to bear a 50 ton, 9 axle vehicle.

I also need to deepen the open drain down between those fences for about another 400 feet until it reaches our creek. I've done about 60 hours on the digger now and starting to feel not entirely incompetent.

What’s with the lime? Anything else we should know about?

We had to cancel our Journey tribute tonight. Vito not feeling that well. It has taken me about three weeks to get over congestion from a head cold. So we will watch the Belmont and the first game of the Stanley Cup finals.
