For me a 1.5 hour NASA enduro in Escort #909 at Pocono Raceway. Then pull it home and head to Rehoboth for a week.

This weekend is also the Shenley Park street races in Pittsburgh (as part of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix). I ran the "race-track" part of PVGP last weekend (at BeaveRun), but my car is too new for the uber-cool Shenley Park races.

If I could *only* be in two places at once, I'd be in Pittsburgh as well as Pocono. :laugh:
 
Tomorrow morning is a trailer load of garbage to the dump. Then our band is playing at a big picnic in Savannah N.Y. tomorrow afternoon, so that pretty much fills my day.
Not getting religious, It's just somthing a bit different, Sunday our church is going to Treaman State Park to do baptismals in the swimming area(a Dammed up area of the river in the gorge). It ought to be intresting. and you asked what I was doing......
I may stay after in the park to do a bit of swimming and hiking. it's been mid 90s for most of the week with nasty humidity. I was drenched by 9:30 thismorning. Suckin down the Gatorade all day. I'm sure I will be tomorrow too.
 
Working. Georgia, Tampa(?), Vero Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Miami, Key Largo. I'm hoping for rain.
 
I just got back from British V8 in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Today I played catch up with lawn work.

Saturday, I will put the carbs back onto the 1968 MGC, get the alternator back on, put the dizzy in, reinstall the fuel pump...and maybe, just maybe, get her to fire!
 
I met with my contractor yesterday to finalize the bills for the work on the house. NO MORE WORKERS! Our house is almost complete so, this weekend it looks like garage time for the first time since April.
Then I have to pack for a weeklong workshop in Paducah KY.
 
Pulling floors on the Triumph (last bits on the driver side), figuring out how to replace the inner sill while stablizing the bottom of the a-pillar...

Nothing beats cutting metal on a hot humid day.

Plenty of Gatorade for me too!!

Isn't it ironic to get baptized in a dammed pool?

hehehehe.. thought that was funny myself....
Just back from the dump. nothing like several hundred tons of garbage that have been fermenting in 90 degree heat all week..
I'm sopping wet already. it's 10 am, and in the upper 70s, with 74% humidity. walking out into the sun already feels uncomfortable. the air is just thick. predicted mid 80s this afternoon (wile I'm out in the field playin music) It'd be pleasent if it weren't for the tropical humidity. Us frozen northerners ain't used to this.....
Ah well... it could be snowin'!!! I'll take the nice summer.
 
Picking up the Benz this morning.
Then the wife has a honey-do list longer than the Titanic that I need to start on. That's my punishment.
 
I have about 400 sq ft, in about 34 7ft long boxes, of 3/4 inch solid oak flooring sitting in the middle of my study (and a pain to climb over to get from one side of the room to the other). I will be beginning the long, tedious process of doing my living room in solid oak flooring. The process will go something like this:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]Take up carpet and pad[*]Remove existing baseboard trim[*]Breakup and remove 6x6 area of tile at front entrance[*]Tear out current cheaply tiled fireplace hearth[*]Re-do hearth with better tiles - make large enough to place wood stove on[*]Level concrete floor with self leveling compound - fix any cracks[*]Lay down .4 mil black plastic moisture barrier (floor is a concrete slab)[*]Lay down about 14-15 3/4 inch very smooth birch playwood panels[*]Afix plywood to slab with powder-activated nail gun (uses .22 cartriges)[*]Begin laying down oak wood flooring, working one side of room to the other.[*](I'm buying a power flooring nailer because all the rental places in town only rent manual nailers - which I used in my small study and don't want to use on the much larger living room)[*]Replace base board trim with new matching oak trim.[*]Call Ambulance[*]Collapse[/list]
 
Cleaning the GarageMahal (thinking about renaming it), yard work, & packing parts orders so FEDEX can pick them up Monday.
 
Saturday I'll be doing the last final tinkering on the TR3 before getting ready to fire it up for the first time in twenty odd years. I'll have my friend, who finished his TR3 resto last year, come over on Tuesday or Wednesday and we'll have a little ceremony. Hopefully, the last three years of work will turn out OK. Sunday, I'll just clean out the garage a bit, as the last couple of months of work on the TR have turned in into more of a pigpen then even I can stand. :sick:
 
Second weekend in a row I'm actually putting time in getting the garage in order!! Cleaning up, sorting and stowing! Should be able to get back to work in there again pretty soon I hope!! :banana: :banana:

That's a project hat is perpetually on my to-do list! I'll spend a full weekend cleaning and organizing and within a month it looks like I never touched it!
 
Saturday night we meet with about 18 other folks to fill up 4 limousines and do a Pub Crawl.

Every year around this time, the St. Andrews Society, here on Oahu get together for a social evening of seeing how many pubs we can visit and still stand up by the end of the evening. Fortunately we don't have to worry about driving...

Tomorrow afternoon, after the "hair of the dog" we rehearse for our annual St. Andrews Society play.

This year I get to be the scorned lover, el Muerte de los toros, el famoso Don Carlo de Ricardo de Montalban y gato loco gordo.

So, you have probably figured out it is a fundraiser farce(romantic comedy) in a number of scenes.
 
Put another coat of epoxy on the Kayak I have been building with my 12 year old grandson the last 2 weeks.

Awesome Kayak!

I got Georgia out of the way. No rain this morning, but it was hot, muggy, and ugly below about 2000ft. Went up to 5500 to stay cool. The rain held off until about 4, it's been pouring for an hour now and it looks like it's going to keep going for awhile. Welcome to summer.

Tomorrow: Vero Beach.
