you know, when i have a fast car, the very last thing I want to do is draw attention to what I'm doing.
apparently my driving techniques do that well enough already.

^^ In SoCal there seem to be a lot of lime green and orange Gallardo's that really get your attention. I've seen the Celeste also, and it seems to be more of a pastel, putty color. However, it's all about what you like. I have a friend who raced a Bianchi Celeste bicycle, and he swore the color made it go faster.

Finished staining the deck, and changed the coolant in the winter car yesterday. Today is wash and wax day for the winter car. If time is left, I'll be filling cracks in the driveway. Winter preparation has begun!

Going for a walk on the Falmouth, MA bike path, then using our FREE lunch coupons at D'Angelo's (got those at the the Fall Crawl), then maybe we might run into Legal Bill British Legends Weekend. He posted about this event.

Between yesterday afternoon and this morning we had almost 6" or rain. Everything got washed for free!. Clean boats, clean cars and the neightbor's cat looked really soggy this morning sneaking through the yard. Boat checks out but it's too windy to do much scouting.

I had to take medicine that color when I was a kid.

I sat in it Friday and went through all the ergonomics and put the top up. I fit.

They're sending over a "driving instructor/salesman" with it to my office next week. I guess you need a course in EGEAR first.

I will be all alone for the weekend, unless the Marines stop by. If you don't know that joke, the +1 always checks his closet when he comes back from a trip to see if his shoes are shined. Anyhoo, he is in the wilds of WI again. Probably will go to the farmers market tomorrow AM, maybe meet up there with a friend for breakfast, then to my mom's for a visit. She's cleaning out stuff, so I'm picking up a lot for the hospice store. Then it's sports of various types - Caps, baseball playoffs, Skins (although they are not a priority for me). Winging the rest. Hope you enjoy yours!
