i love being lazy on sundays. :)
thanksgiving was delicious, and i felt like a stuffed turkey after eating all that food! we hung out at W's dad's hoping to recover some, but had to head out to lost hills before it got too late.
we were all geared up for a fun track day at buttonwillow and needed precious sleep. unfortunately, a lot of ppl at the motel 6 didn't seem to agree, making it difficult for us to get more than a nap between the baby crying and the loud talkers in the middle of the night. they obviously didn't have big plans the next day.
friday morning we woke up and got ready, when D came knocking, only to bear bad news. it had rained overnight!! W and i are beginning to think that we really must have pissed off mother nature somehow, cuz boy does she love to rain on our parade. a little rain wouldn't scare us away though. we drove over to the track and just prayed for the drizzle to stop and the sun to burn through.
overall, it was a pretty good track day, despite the slick conditions (i'm sure the WRX STI didn't mind it a bit). there were more drifters than grippers, but it's pretty fun to watch the drifters (well, at least the ones who know what they're doing). we had a couple of mishaps, including a car fire (youch, it was pretty scary), a broken control arm and several flats, but luckily there were no injuries.
so i didn't get to participate in the black friday sales, but W did score on some pretty good deals at compUSA. so now our big project is cleaning up our digital music library and ripping our entire combined CD collections to better enhance our digital music listening experience through our MP101 that W found for the bargain price of $49.99!! fun stuff.
