Driving, and more driving
No matter what anyone says, driving is tiring. It doesn’t have to be 6 straight hours, it could be 6 consecutive trips of 15 minutes each. You’ll get exhausting. That being said, I love driving, but following traffic laws, watching out for idiots on the road, paying attention to the GPS, choosing the most efficient…

Strange, nice and productive Saturday
Almost any sleep last night thanks to inconsiderate neighbors. Had a nice big breakfast and hit the road. 250 miles driven, got shit done, and almost 8 hours after my first meal, I had a huge mexican banquet for dinner. Can’t complain. Now a nightcap and some more than deserved shuteye. Tomorrow is race Sunday!

The closest thing to a perfect visit, is now coming to an end
Tonight is the last night, and then we’re back to normal. Too much alcohol, too much food, too much driving, too much spending…Too little sleep, too little rest, too little work accomplished, too little planning… But the most important thing of all, the fundamental thing in all this, is that the best possible time was…

Post under construction: delayed for safety reasons
Brb, today’s drive is 800 miles, and I’m currently in the last leg. Long story, short: I went to the Canadian GP today in Montreal, Quebec. I’m pretty far up north. Talk to you later.

If anything can go wrong, it will (and it did, BIG TIME)
Look, my day today was total, utter shit. Starting from only being able to sleep about 4 hours, to an extensive amount of unexpected traffic, driving over 7 hours, a flash storm and to top it all off: being victim of fraud (through legit proven channels, mind you). Let’s round it up to a 13-hour…

En route: update
SHORT POST- Sorry to do this, but had absolutely ZERO down-time today between work, clients, car appointment, packing my bags, and of course, doing all this while surviving 100F degree day. So, I’m currently in the middle of an 800-mile long road trip (one way). Literally stopped on a random exit to stretch my legs…

If he dies, he dies
Everything is going to shit, fast. This heat wave already fucked up one of my electrical outlets, and my room AC unit. It’s currently almost 90F in the middle of the night. Some people STILL don’t have any power in their house, can’t even imagine what that’s like right now. If it got scorching hot…

From cooking winsauce to boarding the fail train in seconds
Had a great weekend, and now there’s a big Big BIG week ahead. I start with 100% of my regular full-time clients, plus work, personal responsibilities, AND a 1,600-mile road trip at the very peak of the gas crisis (right now, we’re at $5.19 per gallon, it’s fucking absurd). And, on top of it all,…

About halfway there
3 and a half hours of driving, done! Easy peasy, even though it started after a 12-hour work day, which gets even harder when it’s 85F and you’re doing tons of stuff outside. The sun really drains you. Must have drank like 4 bottles of electrolyte water, my body just kept chugging it. Dehydration is…
