San Diego Vacation
It took all week for me to get around to writing an entry about this, mainly because work has been hectic (more on that later) and it took me a while to get through all the pictures I took. It was a of fun, we went to the zoo, the wild animal park, Sea World, the beaches, old town, downtown and we ate some awesome food. Monday dinner was at Croce’s in the Gaslamp Quater and Tuesday dinner was George’s at the Cove in La Jolla, both of which were fantastic. I also had lunch at Cafe Chloe with Chantal who I went to high school with and had not seen in years. I took over 600 pictures over the week and whittled it down to around 250 that I posted.
Reid Park Zoo and a return to SSCC AutoX
Saturday made a trip to Reid Park Zoo. I did not have my Llama or Monkey with me, however…
Courtship, Discovery channel style.
And some hungry giraffes.
Good times. Sunday was back to autox with SSCC after not running in the April and May events. Sierra Vista airport was the site, the course was fast, it was hot, and some cones met their maker.
Did pretty well, though results are not up yet. Beat my best competition run in my first time only run, again, and obliterated some cones in the trailing slalom on my final time only run, destroying what probably would have been by best time all day. The new suspension was great; I hadn’t even competed on the Euro springs with the added ride height much less the new shocks and struts. I was very pleased. Now if I could just straighten out the driver… Brake pads should be arriving today. I really, really have to make a strong effort to not do anything else with the car, just drive it and replace the stuff that wears out (read: tires). Nothing else. Period. End of discussion. Do not pass go, do not buy parts, go directly to Phoenix next weekend to compete again. There’s an Evolution driving school coming to the area later this year, but it’s $255 per day. Ouch. Doubtful I will go this time around since that’s the cost of a typical weekend track event and there’s a few of those I have my eye on late in the year. Can’t do it all.
