A little bit of a somber weekend. Memorial service for my brother in law. I'm going to speak and share some stories about him. He was a lot of fun. I'm not very well versed (pun intended) in public speaking, but I regret not having said a few words when my mother in law passed away. She was a gem! I think I can bring some smiles to the faces of those attending and celebrate my brother in law's life. He would like that.

Thanks, Dave. I usually do have plenty to say, don't I?
I won't speak long enough for anyone to

On a more serious note, sorry for your loss. I think I recall you mentioning his passing a bit ago, or maybe I'm not remembering right. I think you said he wouldn't want you crying. I found that touching.

I sold my much loved speakers today, so I'll be dismantling my system and packing up the speakers and sub this weekend. I have mixed feelings about it all. I'm going to miss this system, but I'm also looking forward to downscaling and simplifying things.
I'm probably going to be heading to Orlando for some window shopping this weekend as well. Rori has decided that she would really like me to set up a moderately sized marine reef aquarium for a corner of the new living room, so I'm going to look at a twenty-four inch cube aquarium that should fit the space she has in mind very nicely.
It surprises me somewhat that she came up with the idea on her own, without any prompting from me. Not that I'm complaining. I like the idea and it'll give me something else to do with my free time.

Lainey, a simple tip for public speaking.
Read through it a few times, aloud at home. before you have to publicly.
This will help you with knowing the timing and cadence and where you need to stop and breathe.
It will also get you through the tough parts emotionally having covered them a few times already.

You guys are all the best. Thank you all.
The rest of our weekend will be fairly quiet. We may get some snow. I'm ready for the holiday, so I don't have to run around like a crazy woman.
Is anyone traveling for the holidays?

This weekend is more car prep for autocross next season. Off set ball joints, new front sway bar, and adjust ride height on the coilovers. Then I have to decide whether to do the alignment myself, or wait until spring and pay to have it done.
It is nice getting all the work done now instead of scrambling in April like I usually do.
