The purpose is to provide a live development environment for myself and others that request access. I also use it as my personal soapbox.

Our initial plan to disc golf at Kensington was foiled when the shirtless pro disc golfers informed us there was league play in progress. Fearful of long waits (and more shirtless pro golfers), Steve, Keith, Lisa and I decided on the usual Cass Benton course instead, while Lindsay was assigned to clean her house. Lisa was sufficiently intoxicated to provide ample entertainment, and the game was uneventful until a stinky hippie tried to steal my Valkyrie disc. I was forced to beat his patchouli smelling ass until he coughed it up and fled into the woods, leaving his dime bag for us to enjoy. Surprised we were not yet sick of each other, we reassigned Schwartz to the group for some mongolian BBQ. A game of frisbee disc torture followed in an attempt to discover who would suffer the worst non-lethal injury, followed by 1 vs 100 and shenanigans to round out the evening.

My first autocross of the season had only 90 people show up to the event, which meant each heat had 5 runs at the course, so my last two were actually respectable. The deteriorating parking lot of the Palace also offered up plenty of opportunity to drift around the corners, which I did successfully except for my last run when I exited the cone slalom perpendicular to the course. Of course my biggest fan attended which made all the difference.

Yesterday was the hottest day this year according to my infallible weather station. 2007 still holds the record at 97.9°F, but unlike 2007, Michigan actually provided almost a week and a half of 70s before this latest heat wave. Here's to hoping for another stretch of enjoyable weather before summer is out.

Record High:

+94.5 °F at 16:01 on 24 June

Today Myrn tried to pull off his biggest bluff ever, stating he was in fact visiting Mackinac island for a radiator conference. The ridiculousness of having a radiator conference where cars are not allowed provided some comedy, but the jewel in this story was when Stavos and I demanded a photo of him on-scene at the island. He actually delivered on the request and the excited look on his face sent me into hysterics for a good 5 minutes. If you look closely you can see the outline of the monitor he fullscreened a photo of Mackinac on, and the glow of the monitor on his face. It's stunts like this that make me sad Myrn has been gone for almost 6 years.

With Lisa in full sass mode, I was forced to visit Gatlinburg Tennessee, the official home of overpriced crap. After a full day of looking at endless rows of stores selling the same junk I was rewarded with the one enjoyable part of the trip, the motor nature trail. It's exactly what it sounds like, you drive your car high into the mountains (3150 ft to be exact) and fill up on nature. Our nature included a deer, black bear, and something for Lisa to stare at. Having had our fill, we rushed back to the hotel where I was told to cheer on the Penguins in some game called hockey. They eventually won the Stanley cup which was more than enough reason for Lisa to down several beers and pass out. Vacation success.
