Now that our weather has finally gotten back to normal, I think it's time to take a long relaxing drive tonight.

I'm heading out to do some of our favorite roads tonight... for several hours... you know the ones!

Wish me luck...

I just got back from a fun little drive. I prefer daylight so I hit the roads earlier this afternoon. Weather is great.

Wish I could have gotten out for a drive today. It was dark by the time I got home. I'm envious that all you Austinite Dellionares don't have to work a full day.

Most of the Austinite Dellionaires seem to prefer European cars.

The S2000 seems to be a curse to become un- or under-employed around here...sometimes I wonder if I should get rid of it to avoid the bad luck that's hit other local owners.

I took my S2000 down to South Austin and helped a friend Zaino his car, then fought traffic all the way up Mopac at 5 pm. When I went out to vote later, I saw 5 deer standing in my street. Seeing that, I pulled no punches, drove sanely, and came back home ASAP.

I hate those little bastards; they ruin all my fun.

Unfortunately I got to Dell about five years too late to become a dellionaire, but Dell did give me a 2 month vacation last month to find a new job so I have a little more free time during the day now. I figure with the great weather and my car being in the garage for almost the last three weeks straight, I should take advantage of the opportunity. Hopefully I'll be back among the working soon and not have all of this extra time.

Hopefully he is okay.
