Officially moved to my new place. I really like it and refer to it as "the mansion". We have a lot of space and the commute is a lot better.
Went to Canada fishing...amazing. I had a blast. I love going every year just to get away from life. Most people haven't seen that much forest and so little pavement/concrete. It's great. I even caught a 37" Silver Northern Pike. It is the biggest fish of my life.
July:
Went gokart racing for the first time in a long time. It was a 1/3 mile paved asphalt track aka Grundy County Fairgrounds. The object of the game was to push my brother around the track so we could get 1, 2, finish. We ended up getting a 2, 3 finish. I was faster but I knew my role was to push him around. This track is a "Superspeedway" for gokart racing....drafting...drafting...drafting.
Other Highlights:
I have been running a lot. I did 16.5 miles today. It was very difficult and reminded me that I have a long way to go if I am going to cross that finish line on October 17. I could probably make it but not in the time I want.
I went on two dates with this lovely lady named Stephanie. I like her in all but the jury is still out.
I am in serious pursuit of a new car. I was thinking camaro until I discovered they don't offer zero percent financing AND reality is that's not the smartest purchase I could ever make. Instead, I am thinking of the mazda 6. Yea, I know it's a big swing but I know from a rational point of view it's the right choice. As soon as next weekend I could have a new car.
I have some friends coming in a couple of weeks so that will be pretty sweet. We're going to NYC.
I'm really trying to be a older, mature person. It's not easy. I am still working pretty hard, but I think a car payment will help. I can't just go blow some cash at the bar. My current car doesn't have the following: fully functional seatbelts, A/C, 4wd, fully functional windows. It needs an oil change and a new sticker. It treated me good for 8 years so I can't complain.
Later,
Bobby
