All of a Sudden it’s Sunday Again

Sunday Sunday Race-day.  Went to the Indy this afternoon, and a behind-the-scenes tour on Thursday, both of which I’ll blog soon.

Productive week, fast week.  Killed it at work Wednesday, and will blog my Audi A3 review this week, which might be my best review yet. Although, my notes here for my Mustang review are coming together all right.

Friday night in Unionville. I was test driving the city, to see what it’d be like if I lived there.

Like it to visit, but no to living there.

I’m feeling over living downtown.

I can’t just go for a quick drive, something I’ve done my whole life. It’s 30 minutes just to get outside the city to any mildly interesting road.

Then, I got stuck in traffic this week, and it was this moment that tipped it all over.

70 minutes to go 2 km while trapped, no other routes to take and escape. This is no way to live.

Me photographing the Mustang on the weekend.

Black cars are tough to photograph.

And I timed it too, so I took the photos during “magic hour”, but mmm… looks kinda blob-y still, eh.

Night drive.

OMFG I’m behind here, I’m sorry. You can tell; it’s halfway through July and I should be at around 75 photos uploaded for the month, I’m at 50. Not doing this to bug you, I just have so much going on, and newspaper deadlines always will win over blog ones.

I’m around and not boarding any planes this week. I have to return the Mustang tomorrow, and pick up my Jetta that’s been sitting there for 3 weeks. Think it’ll start? I’m 80/20 that it will.

Found a secret waterfall during a walk.

I often walk out the door with only my phone, plus this:

My thinking is: 99% of the time I should be able to get myself out of a situation with $20.

Always a good week when you receive an envelope that comes from here. Saved it.

Proof I take the TTC.

That was en route to the “Canadian Tire Christmas House” this week, which was a neat first, and will blog about it later this week.

Thursday night, best night of the week.

What you can’t see is that except for me, the place was empty. It was great, I didn’t have to overhear / tune-out dumbness. My tolerance for whininess is decreasing quickly.

While I was eating the dinner Tuesday, the girl at the next table complained and whined the entire time; kinda made me lose my appetitte. Going on about something that happened when you were 8, like really.

kk I’ve got a couple big meetings this week, please keep your fingers crossed. This week’s column is about how the hippies and car racing community have more in common than they realize. And I’m still about 6 behind on video editing, coming soon, swear.

I'm Driving a Honda Fit This Week

Picked it up yesterday.  I was expecting it to be the smallest car I’ve ever driven. Except it’s not small at all, it deceived me. I’ll show you better later, when I have more time.

It’s my favourite security guard, Joe! Welcome back to my blog.

When I walked into his office, he said he had something for me. Then pulled this out of his desk drawer.

That’s Honda’s star Indy racer Alex Tagliani.

Back in July I arrived to pick up a car, and walked into a celebration of Indy, how’s that for accidental great timing. Even better, I’d never seen this photo.

Joe said he came here looking for my email, to let me know he’d picked this up, but couldn’t find it OMG that’s bad blogging.  Look top right in my sidebar now Joe, that’s you.

Clean ergonomics, and excellent hazard button placement.

I judge all cars by their hazard buttons, which I use a lot when driving to control the space around me.

Look at the difference in your view by putting down the rear headrest.

If you see a red blur around town this week wave hi, because The. Fit. Is. Go!

 

 

What You Missed Recently

Me with my head down, deep into my computer mostly.

This latest invention of mine might be my very best yet.  Stand by, details soon!

Additionally.

Lots of lost of what I call Life Admin.

Left to right:

– that was my Saturday night.  Big city girl here.

– I would totally crush that job.  Seriously, I’m very fast with excellent accuracy.  One time I blogged about the possible negative ramifications of that.

– missing from my key rack – car keys.  That’s a whole other blog post unto itself, le sigh.

See text in photo, both above and below.

Did this surprise you, too?

It’s free admission all summer, that’s how I ended up there the day I went to the Indy.  Might be a nice place to spend an afternoon that’s off the beaten and all that.

Scattered-me.

Kay that’s all I have time for right now, TTYS
