Joel's Soccer Write up

Not sure if everyone knows that Joel went out for soccer and is the starting goalie.  First time playing soccer.  It's been pretty fun to watch up to this point.  Even though they have only won one game.

Follow the link to the local paper's write up on the team.

I told you I would post a video of my last Auto Cross of the year.

Happy Birthday Mom!  Best Mom I ever had!

Last AutoCross of the year for me before I have surgery.  Ran with the Porsche Club of America.  Yea pretty cool, lots of nice cars, new and old.

I was better than some worse than others.  Had 13 runs,  maybe I will you tube some of my better runs later.

Don't want to work today at all.....

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAL - ie

I now have to take a crash course in soccer.  Joel has decided to take up soccer at the age of 17.  Thus sparing me the countless years of youth soccer.   So meet your new 2011 Kewaskum starting goalie:

   Starting?  Yea - well the team won 1 game last year.  They already have won 1 game this year, so its all a better season from here on out!

Great Taste

Wow - it's already been a week since I last posted.
Well last Saturday that being the 13th.  We did our annual pilgrimage to Madison for the Great Taste of the Midwest.   5000 people and 500+  beers.

Yes it started out nice but the day turned rainy.  We had little ponchos so it was no big deal.  We had fun and the group keeps on growing.  We were up to 12 people this year!  Who wants to go next year?

Well got back from the Dr today.  Going to have 1 level one spinal fusion for my C6-C7 vertebrae.   Should I be excited?  I am.  September 12th.  Just in time to make the Bahama vacation at the end of October.  Oh shit that reminds me we need to get the kids passports in!

Race Day

Well against a lot of people telling me it wouldnt be a good idea.  I did it.  Hit MillerPark for the August Autocross session.

Not a great day for me.  2 DNF's, one cone killer.  My tires are not up to the task today.  That and I was a bit rusty.

State Fair

Well we did not get mobbed or beat or anything when we went to the fair on Friday night.   Perfect weather: Warm and breezy.

Got some wrist bands for Twitch and Brooke and off they went.   I did not eat a whole bunch.  The state fair is a living breathing people of Walmart email.   Do these people not have mirrors?

Anyway, almost  ran into more people unexpectedly than the ones we intended to.   Saw some Road Trip and Whiskey of the Damned for the music and that is all she wrote.  

I effectively did the fair without looking at one animal.  Perfect.  If my shoulder were better I think Tim and I would have got shot up in the bungee-whatcha-ma-jigger.  Maybe next year.

Hey its Friday and it is the first day of an event filled weekend.

State fair after work tonight,  a few birthday/non birthday parties tomorrow and then I am going to try my luck and my pain threshold at Miller park for the August SCCA event on Sunday.
