Lemons at Thunderhill August 7th and 8th

We managed to finish 61st and 114th at Thunderhill. In the process of this pitiful accomplishment we managed to blow the 14 cars engine and wreck the 11 car so well that we bought a replacement car from another race team. Yeah, we sucked! Here's an entirely unflattering picture of me in our Deff Lepoard costumes that we wore to tech the cars. Yep, scary, but the live guitar solo by teammate Ian during tech was a big hit.

Landscaping Progress

The backyard is close to looking like, well, a backyard. The irrigation, lawn, and paths are in. The traffic light and all the outside lights are now operated by wireless remote control and, today, we put Race's gas station back together.

Lake Tahoe

We spent Friday and Saturday at a Camp Concord work weekend. Lake Tahoe on an 85 degree day is a wonderful place to be. While we worked on cleanup and deck building, Race went off with the other kids and camp counselors for a visit with Smokey the Bear, pedal boating on the lake and building sand castles on Pope Beach.

Amtrack

Race and Dean are on there way to Sacramento for the day on Amtrack.  Why? Why just for the fun of it.

Some June Pictures

These are some pictures of Race degreasing the bottom of Elizabeth's '65 Mustang. Note the responsible use of safety gear.
