Something About Nothing ... #12

Hockey game on. Oh my. Little one turned channel when Purge ad came on. Yeah, guess she would not do HHN.

I looked away when that ad was on!

Great day of racing in Detroit today. Stared out a bit chilly but better than the upper 80s we've been having. One of the Cadillac Prototypes won! This after crashing in practice yesterday and having to thrash to make qualifying. A big surprise is one of our favorite drivers and friend Johnny O'Connell is hanging out here all weekend. He used to drive for Cadillac but they changed programs but he is still contracted to do stuff for GM. He is a 4 time LeMans winner, 4 time Pirelli World Challenge champion and the winningest GM factory driver in history. We met him 6 years ago when we did the Cadillac Hospitality thing for the first time and now he likes to hang with us while people clamor to get a picture and an autograph. I have to admit that's kind of cool. We get to do a few laps tomorrow and he said he would ride with me if he was there on time. We need to get to the track by 8.

That is cool that O'Connell hangs out with the fans for pictures and autographs.


Set your alarm clock and don't be late tomorrow for his ride along with youse!

 

[macraven]

At the rate I am going, I'll still be up when Schumi checks in here.....


And the insomnia thread has not had any posts in a week.
I think they all took a sleeping pill and that thread has been put to sleep....

Think I will head over to fb and catch up there.

Turning the lights out now, so don't trip over the cat when you come in here tonight

 

[Charade67]

I’m still awake. I guess I should say I’m awake again. I dozed off for a little while just after midnight, woke up and can’t seem to get back to sleep.

 

[schumigirl]

Came back to add, we know Schumi is on vacation for most of this year


Jk

Think she has a month to go for her next darkside trip

lol......I spluttered my tea when I read that comment ...….I think Tom and I have found our retirement hobby...…..

Better than golf!!!!

We slept late today

Woke up around 8.30...….couldn't believe we slept so long......felt great though.

Then looked out the window...…..grey, grey and more grey...…..oh yes, we spell grey differently...…..

More mist and fog today again, although it`s not cold. Weird. Still waiting for the 90F they promised us for June...…..

Almost lunch time here...…….have a great Sunday...…..

Good morning

Carole, I'm glad you're taking all those trips since we all get to enjoy more trip reports from you. I can't travel that much myself and reading your adventures makes me feel like i'm there with you for awhile...I like your new hobby...keep it up

 

[macraven]

New hobby???

It’s more of a new lifestyle

Retirement let’s you do what you want anytime you want to

I see less of Mr Mac now that he is retired
He is either paddling, hiking or taking a walk

Most times he starts out leaving the house between 6-7 am
My best time when mr snorer is out of the bedroom
Jk

Hope all the homies have a good day
You’re going back to work tomorrow

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. I was hoping to sleep in a bit later today, but no such luck. I should probably go to the grocery store sometime today. We really don’t have much food in the house. I hate trying to plan meals. I’m really not much of a cook. If I had the money I would have a personal chef.

I would love to be able to travel several times a year. I would go to Orlando (probably not every year, but more often than I do now) and I would go back to Alaska in a heartbeat. There are several places in the United States that I would like to visit, and I would also like to visit places in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

B has one more recital today and then she is done with dance until September. I still can’t believe this wil be her last year.

Sounds great!! Have fun today!

Hope you guys got some sleep!!

Then looked out the window...…..grey, grey and more grey...…..oh yes, we spell grey differently...…..

Either way is correct to spell grey (gray)! Sun here now, but grey skies are returning later!

Good morning

Good morning!

Nice day to start! Rain later, and cooling down to low 70s.

Having brunch with Joe, Kyle, Erin(his fiancee), my mom, and cousin later this morning. Coffee and a piece of toast now- have to save room !!

Thanks Vicki.......it’s lovely being able to travel as much as we like, we are incredibly lucky, I know......hope you and your lovely kids are ok........

Lol.......yep, definitely a lifestyle choice!!!

Your mister is so fit and healthy though......I wish I had half his energy some days!!!

Hope DD recital goes well, yes it’s scary when you realise they’re almost done with another stage of their education.......

We’ve been lucky with travel, we have visited every country in Europe, apart from Iceland......too cold for me....lol.....and many other countries including some I wouldn’t go back to, but Australia is somewhere I’ve never looked to go for some reason.......Alaska looks beautiful too!!

Either way is correct to spell grey (gray)! Sun here now, but grey skies are returning later!

Yep, I know .......it was pointed out recently to me by someone my spelling differences.........of course in the U.K. we do spell some words differently to Americans.........and as I have a degree in English Literature I wasn’t too happy with it being pointed out.......something I’d never do on a message board.

If I was teaching someone I’d point it out.......but on here.......pah

Enjoy your brunch Patty.....sounds a nice way to start a Sunday........



Quiet Sunday here.......no plans at all. Just going to book the hotel near my mum for a visit later in the month......looking forward to a visit to Scotland and seeing family...........

Got a chicken slow roasting in the Aga today.......smells lovely already........doing some balsamic honey roast potatoes too.......

Time for a cuppa, just finished a load of ironing........always fun!!!

 

[Robo56]

Good Morning Mac, Schumi, Tink, pattyw and charade

Beautiful Sunday morning here. Sun is shining and the birds are singing.

 

[schumigirl]

Hi Robo.........hope things are getting better every day for you and your mister........

 

[RAPstar]

That's so cute! Where do they sell those? I don't think my cats would be impressed, though!

Starbucks. It's just a short sized cup with whipped cream. So your cats would probably like it lol

I like her hobby/lifestyle too!

You’re going back to work tomorrow

Nope- I'm on vacation

Back on the road. Atalanta was a nightmare at 1030 last night. We knew there was a game but thought traffic would be long gone by time we go through. Figures it was multiple extra inning games. Plus delay in Kentucky when hwy 24 was shut down for bad wreck. We did get to see the dam area and there lots of resorts around there (detour)- so pretty.

Hope the rest of your journey is as traffic free as can be!

How long till you get there.......

 

[Monykalyn]

Ack dangers of posting on iPad and bouncy road - hit post too soon lol

Hope your Sunday is a funday.

Schumi- I love slow roasting food but the smell drives us crazy with huger for hours before dinner. Pretty sure my family hunks I do that as a form of torture.

Hope B's recital goes smoothly. And I bet you August are ready for a bit of a break from the schedule too charade.

Recycled teenager


Love the memes every day!

 

[macraven]

14 innings for last game

Atlanta traffic can be unpredictable at times

 

[Monykalyn]

Schumi- short drive today about 5 hours. My daughter will be getting off work about time we get there so good timing. She said off wed and thurs this week and goes in late a couple other days so we will get to see her a lot as well.

Then next Sunday-Tuesday we will be meeting back up with hubs oldest daughter and her family- and thankfully DD's work schedule will allow some time with all of us then too.
