Sorry (for my sake, not yours) about posting so incredibly late in the day. A piercing update has just been posted, and I've got a member's update with 1.5k images queued up for tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for helping out and sending in so many pictures!

I'm not sure yet what I'm doing this weekend; I was thinking about going to the Hot Rod Hootenanny. I thought that I'd done serious damage to the Porsche setting up BMEfest. I was backing it into the space to unload some stuff, and bottomed out on the entrace bump to a terrible crunching/grinding sound. I pulled out again, and didn't see anything broken but the next day the “check engine” light came on… Thankfully a battery disconnect to reset everything seems to have made it go away (so it was a temporary malfunction, which happens every once in a while), although it does smell of Trogdor* a little. I hope it's just some plastic on the exhaust or something.

Let's see… They made me take the ads off Under Mars but the ones on the kitcar site (even though I haven't updated much — but check out this crazy car) are doing alright so Google sent me another cheque for $220 and they owe me about that again in the current period! Does this mean I'm at least a semi-professional blogger now?

Anyway, I think plans have changed a little bit (pushed back a week or two), but Nefarious and I went and got our passports today. They'll be ready on Monday morning. I was worried that I'd have to give up my old one because it has five years of travel memories, but they let you keep them if they're expired. Other than that, and it sounds bad probably, but I just love having my car back on the road, even though it's a little rough around the edges still.

It's so bad and indulgant to even take a picture in the parking garage. There was a Ferrari parked across from me and this was much nicer I think. And yes, I'm very, very, immature to have thought this license plate, which is almost certainly the guy's name, was quite funny.

Well, I'm going to do a little more work on various projects and go to bed. It's far too late already, but I plan on getting up in the morning, cooking breakfast, and having a nap while Nefarious watches a movie. Sorry if that's bad parenting but holy hell am I tired out.
