I buzz through Tuesday at work with some good work. I leave at a good time to ride on home, drop off the World Rally Car for an oil change, walk back home, and clean up the roses. When I drop the car off the new service manager wants to buy my car because I have so few miles on it. But I tell him that his sales manager has already asked to buy it, so he has to get in line.
I skip work on Thursday and get out on the mountain bicycle for a ride down to the pier. It's always great to be on two wheels! Afterwards I have a warm shower and run an errand or two and try to fix a plumbing problem with the 7 year old bathrooms. But I don't have much luck and will probably have to call a plumber. Person Ti_Ca comes back from school and we get an oil change for his car and then he drives me over to pick up the World Rally Car from its oil change. ANd this time I get another offer from a different salesman to buy the car.
Saturday starts with qualifying for the Grand Prix of China where my favorite is off the pace and tries a final qualifying strategy that sacrifices any chance at the pole but may pay dividends in the race with tire strategy. Afterwards I ride the mountain bicycle down to the pier and back in misty conditions. Prior to next week's Long Beach Grand Prix there are drifters practicing on the course and I stop and watch for a few minutes during my ride. When I get home I clean up the yard a bit, help Person Ti_Ca with homework, do a lot of intricate web programming, and then relax watching television. I consider going out clubbing but I give up the idea at the last minute as everyone else wimps out. Instead I just get some more reading done and go to sleep early.
On Monday I'm awake just as the alarm goes off at 5:15 am. I get to work and start finishing up things that had been left over since last week. There are obstacles in the way, but I work around them and delay dealing with them until later. When I get home I'm hungry so I eat dinner and help Person Ti_Ca with his homework. When he goes to work out I go do a single set to failure workout. It's a great workout that sees me gasping for breath during and after the workout. And I finish up some web programming such that we are about ready to demonstrate the software for potential clients.
On Friday I have a good day at work and then go home to workout with the weights, mow the lawn, and then get cleaned up to meet new friends for dinner. Person Ti_Ca and I meet up with Person D_G (Person Ti_Ca's firned) and his partner Person M_U for dinner. We've brough the cherry pie for desert, but we have a nice dinner, relax outside under thier patio, and the go back inside for desert. We talk about a million different things and the 7 pm dinner and socialization does not end until 30 minutes past midnight. I'm sure that Person Ti_Ca and will be ahnging out with them again soon.
Sunday starts with the first part of the Grand Prix of Bahrain. There is a lot of good action but I have to go out riding. I ride again to the Whittier Narrows dam and back home for about 40 miles. After a shower I watch the rest of the Grand Prix and there is still a lot of action for places below 1st place - my favorite driver romping away to a bg win. But fun action throughout the rest of the field. As Person Ti_Ca goes off to have lunch with his sister I watch the MotoGP race. This a a processional race with just a few battles throughtout the field. But I am so addicted to F1 and NotoGo (and later Moto2 and Moto3) that every race is entertaining to me! And then I relax throughout the rest of the day.
