It’s Monday. I’ll be heading over to my parents place on this Memorial Day for some beer, burgers, and hotdogs. It will be a small group of just a couple of family members so everyone can maintain some distance. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can enjoy the day out on the deck.
Enjoy the holiday but don’t forget about the men and women who died protecting the freedoms that we all enjoy. On this day we honor and remember their sacrifice.

It’s Sunday! Normally this day would be what I like to call the high-holy day of racing. Two of the biggest American races; the greatest spectacle in racing, the Indianapolis 500 and Nascar’s longest race, the Coca-Cola 600 would normally be run today. However, since nothing is normal anymore due to Covid-19, the Indy 500 has been postponed until August because they didn’t want to run it without fans in the stands. Nascar, on the other hand, agreed to not allowing fans at the race and to additional restrictions to keep everyone from the drivers, crew, and broadcasters safe. So it’ll be a little different, but at least the race will go on!

Summer…?
With Memorial Day now behind us, I suppose that means it’s unofficially Summer now. Surprisingly the thermometer has been trending upward over the past several days around here. In fact, it was so nice on Sunday that I called Allstate to switch the insurance on the Vette from storage to active. We took it out for a spin all afternoon under a beautiful blue sky. After a long cold winter and considering all the shit that’s been going down over the past several months, I can’t tell you how good it felt to get out in that thing! Fuel for the soul, my friends.
