I did adjust the brake pedal so I can heel/toe better and then adjusted the brake light switch accordingly. Some days I hate weekends. Makes me wonder if I will enjoy retirement! OK, if someone bought me a winning lotto ticket I probably would.
I am hoping to enjoy it but...............

It's been 6 years since I could heel/toe.

Friend tells me there is some 70th Porsche Anniversary Auction at like Southerby's or something like that. They are planning to auction 70 Porsches. It's in October. Thought I should try to get my GTS in that auction.

I could do it in the car before, it is just easier now.

David, maybe we need training like Jeff gets instead of hoping in cold turkey like Jim.

This would be a great place to sell it as well.

Go big or go home.

I went sailing late this afternoon / early evening with some of my fellow retirees. Beautiful conditions out there. We spotted a blue whale, and, at times, got to within 50 yards of it. It was in deep water (exceeded range of my depth gauge) and stayed underwater for quite a while between each surfacing. We weren't ready with cell phones or cameras, but trust me, it was this

That’s my Saturday.

Yeah sure, you sea fairing types see blue whales or other sea monsters. Around here the land lubber partiers just see pink elephants.

After Mom passed my sisters took most of the paintings and needlework that was hanging on the walls. Joked about how I could shoot pornos now because there isn't any art on the walls. One of my sisters bought a big beach scene painting, brought it over, and hung it on the wall. Said now i can't shoot pornos, ha.

I got a phone call on my land line yesterday. It was a female Steven Hawking type computerized voice. She or it claimed there was an arrest warrant out for me and I needed to call a phone number immediately or they would "call the cops" on me. That actually made me laugh out loud, call the cops. At least they did not claim to call the Po-Po on me. I just deleted it and blocked that number.

My business partner got a recent call from some scammer that claimed they had evidence of all the porn sites he has visited, and they had hacked all his web cams and microphones and were going to publish it all on line if he did not pay. He has no web cams or open microphones anywhere. He told them to please go ahead, as he was a big porn maker and any extra advertising would just create more sales. My business partner than said he had the callers daughter and wife on video in a three way with some midget dude porn star. The caller hung up.

I can feel a case of pretty day flu coming on. It is 64 degrees, low humidity, and wonderful outside. I am gonna need to go straighten up the bosses garage. Anything at all I can find to do in the garage. For July 31st it is astonishing wonderful San Diego like weather. I love it.

starting to cool off here just a bit. Right on time to leave and land in another hot spot.

Fool engineer here wanted to know if I was coming in on Wednesday morning as he has a ton of work to get done. Said he would hire and UBer to get me to the airport. I laughed at him cause it was 3:00pm yesterday when he decided he had a ton of work. He is out of luck.

Reminds me of that whole poor planning on your end does not constitute an emergency on mine saying.

I believe there was no planning, hence the late minute emergency.
