It’s Friday! Saw my Infectious Disease doctor yesterday, and I finally got the green light to stop the IV infusions and antibiotics. That’s huge news because they were absolutely wreaking havoc on my gut. Even better, the day before that I was finally freed from the Wound Vac. It isn’t completely healed yet, but it’s now small enough that I no longer need the Vac. After weeks of dealing with all this, it feels good to be making some progress.

We’re expecting nearly three inches of rain between Friday and Saturday. Thankfully, Sunday looks like it’ll stay dry, although temperatures will only reach the low 70s. Nobody bothered to tell me that fall was arriving at the end of July.

Okay, today I’ve got a new amateur photo from one of my readers, along with the usual double dose of babes and double dose of jokes. Enjoy!

It’s Thursday. It’s been quite a while since I shared an update on my LEGO 1966 Batmobile build, so I figured it was time to show how things are coming along. Progress has been slower than I’d hoped thanks to my recent health issues, but the car is finally starting to take shape. Most of the assembly has been from the ground up—the chassis is now complete, and I’ve started building out the front and rear bodywork. There’s still a long road ahead before it’s finished, but I’ve been having a great time putting it together.

It’s Wednesday. I love a good travelogue, and when you throw a Corvette into the mix, I’m all in. MotorTrend recently got its hands on the all-new 2027 Corvette Grand Sport and decided the best way to experience it was by hitting historic Route 66. It’s perfect timing, too, as the legendary Mother Road is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

Few combinations feel more American than Chevrolet’s iconic sports car carving through the twists, turns, and small towns that made Route 66 famous. The video isn’t just a scenic road trip, though. MotorTrend gives the Grand Sport a thorough workout, diving into what makes the newest Corvette special while showcasing the breathtaking landscapes, quirky roadside attractions, and timeless charm that have made Route 66 a bucket-list drive for generations.
