Hey Mr. Tambourine Man
Bleh, I hate alcohol. It serves no useful purpose in society, but since it's one of the few legal drugs in this country, we make do. Okay, it is used in communion and to help people overcome inhibitions in public settings but that's it. And they sponsor things but that is just to help us forget that it kills thousands of people per year.
We had a Independence party on the 3rd, mostly because I didn't want to be hungover today and I'm not. I was hungover yesterday. Even puked in a bush the morning after. But I'm 100% today and will improve even more tomorrow. We set off lots of fireworks from Shelton's Fireworks, exit 2 on I-85 just across the SC/GA border. I always forget that fireworks are illegal in certain places until I hear stories of people almost getting arrested in NJ and NY for fireworks. So we grilled burgers, sweet and hot Italian sausage, corn on the cob (which was great), a few chicken burgers and veggies (zucchini and squash). It all turned out excellent and as usual we had too much food and that means we get leftovers!
Lots of beer and fireworks and then my stupid drank too much ass had to go outside and sweep up the firework remnants which you never think about until the morning after the festivities. Luckily it was all in one little area and didn't take long to sweep up, but it did feel strange sweeping pavement.
All of this happened after the race. I didn't have my best day but I still beat who I was supposed to beat. Autocross results here and be sure and scroll down and look at the class ranking. I was 21 out of 50, won my class by over 1/2 second and beat the class ahead of me by over 1.5 seconds. And Andy (Protege) did very well in his new Turboge and got 3rd in class and 16th overall. He was off his class winner by 3 seconds which is alot and he's about maxed out on points which means he can't do much more to his car without moving up to D class, and nobody wants to move into D class.
I tried to go fast everywhere and you can't do that, but luckily my 2nd run was fairly fast and that's the one that stuck. My last two were embarrassing. But it's okay and there's another on July 24th. Yay!
Work did not happen yesterday. I wanted to come in and do a few hours worth of work by my stupid ass drank too much and I barely cleaned up the house yesterday let alone leave the house and interact with others. But J. and I did some Pilates which while traditionally a "chick" activities, this is the 21st century and gender profiling is lessening, so I can openly admit that, but the stuff works. I have awful flexibility. Horrible. I can barely touch my toes and I think my lower back is the culprit. So I think this will help alot with that, which will help in my climbing and everday activities.
Hope everyone enjoyed their day off! And at least saw one firework explode.
