Recent exploits

Well the blogger is still being squirley about posting photos, so you'll just have to wait for them later and an update on this past weekend...

So, Its been a long while since I’ve updated this thing. Guess I’m slipping a little bit. But I’ll try and use my usual generic excuse that I’ve been really busy. Doing what? You might ask. Well I officially finished another chapter of my thesis and handed it in! Woo Hoo!!!! That made time for a weekend of car shows.

The guys from the shop took the Swift VW to the Funkmaster Flex car show in Hartford on Saturday. We checked that out in the afternoon. There were some good cars, but the music was pretty unbearable. However the car did win best VW!! Rockin. Matt found new “models” from the Gold Club to help promote the shop

The next day was the Swift car show at the speed bowl. That meant getting up at 6 am on the weekend, not something I prefer but I got over it. Laci and I helped with registration and then wandered around all day. Here are a few pics of the car (and trophy).

Spent the next day recuperating from the weekend. We went to see Clerks II and I have to say that has been the highlight of my last two weeks! That movie rocks, I think I need to go again.

The rest of the week passed in a blur of errands and rather failed attempts at drafting the figures for my next chapter. Friday morning I was up early and heading to Rochester NY for A &T’s wedding. Of course we lit it up a bit on Friday night. We decided to check out the night life and ended up at Daisy Dukes, who’s claim to fame (other then being a country western bar in Rochester) was a mechanical bull. And yes, for the record I did ride it and I have the tee shirt to prove it, and unfortunately the video that T took… It was really a hysterical thing to watch. If you were a pretty girl, and scantily clad, the guy controlling the bull took it real easy. If you were dumb enough to do it in a skirt he would toss you off so your skirt was sure to go over your head. Finally if you were a guy, he sent you flying into the wall ASAP. Poor M had to go to the chiropractor in the morning before the wedding. At least the groom didn’t get messed up too bad. We all had bruises and scrapes!

The wedding was of course gorgeous and they had a rockin band. We danced till late and then had a nightcap in the hotel bar before finally falling asleep. By the time we got home I was so exhausted I could barely move, of course that meant it’s time for a heat wave… So now I’m back in the office, melting. The weather forecast calls for 100 degrees today with a heat index making it feel like 110. Yippee, it’s like I’m back in Africa except with about 100% humidity.
