What'd you do today?

Sunday was another MX day for us. I don't race anymore so I am the manager, pit crew, organizer, and mechanic for my 2 grand girls as they are racing now.

65cc Mini class (to include 110cc 4 stroke machines) Grand daughter Zoey the oldest got 1st over all, a student of Saddletime Ceresco, Emma got overall 2nd, and Grand daughter Lilly got overall 3rd. Was a great day for 'Team Saddletime'. And it is far harder and exhausting to 'run' the team than actually race, got home and passed out before dinner.

Keeping busy is the key. Once you stop living, all you are doing is starting to die.

I refer to those as "Dr. Seuss Triggers." Spelling's a bit different, but the pronunciation is the same.

I got some more milk to replace the lost milk. 

I am covering an adjunct's class for them, because they were biking into work and their front wheel fell off. 

I'll be married in a week!

I found the milk. 

Suck it out with those ear squeegee clean out blue things. That's what I do.

Went to the MD Ren Fest over the weekend. That's what the wife wanted to do for her birthday celebration. Bought her a Kindle 6 as her present and then we went and drank beer, at fried foods on sticks, and (I) gawked at the enormous amount of cleavage. Got our son his first sword too! It's wooden, of course, which is good because he likes holding it by the blade. The pommel is made from alphabet stacking blocks.



The rest of the weekend went downhill. Car's transmission is definitely getting ready to crap out, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Subaru of America will defray at least some of the cost. It's $2500 for a new torque converter and solenoid valve body assembly. I can't afford that per-se, but I can make it work even though we will only be eating ramen noodles for dinner for the next year if that's the case.

Just waiting for my post count to get high enough on a local firearms forum to post some B/S/T ads for some milsurps I'm not using anymore. Hopefully that will absorb some of the cost as well.

I am considering a trigger for my AR 556.  I am very interested on how the install went as well how it performed at the range.
