Running behind on updates it would appear.  Previous weekend, went to the
races and watched my brother get taken out of the race by another driver.  His
radiator blew out, so he flew down in his car and wrecked out my brother.  Bro
was pretty hot, went across the pits, and was stopped by the officials before
anything could happen.  All of us were pretty bummed out, and the rest of the
weekend.  Saturday night, we finished putting the rest of the winter wood
supply away during the day.  And then went to Dyersville for church at the
Bascillica and the an early birthday supper for Dad at the Pizza Hut there. 
Sunday we went fishing, and didn't have great luck.  Still a very nice day
though for fishing down by the damn in Guttenburg.

Finally got mega-project HF-CPS released on Friday.  Now, I am still a bit
nervous we missed something in our testing or I screwed up some file in the
release process.  Hopefully, all will be well and I can breathe a little
easier in the coming weeks once I get an official copy and play with it to
ease my fears.  Friday night we went to the races again, my brother managed to
put his car back to gether and got some nice karma.  The driver that took him
out last week flew into the wall during hot laps and couldn't race the rest of
the night so he drops out of the chase for the points championship.  Bro ran a
good race and took first in the last race of the night.  Folks and I got to
run down and get our pics taken in the winner's spot.  Bro was really elated. 
Just a couple more races to go with my brother holding a 6 point lead.

Otherwise, Saturday was a lazy one for me.  Forecasts of day long rains came
true.  I slept in till almost 10 am.  Then took a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.
 And yet I somehow went to sleep at 10pm and woke up this morning at 9 am. 
Took off for CR to work on some house tasks I had been putting off.  Managed
to finally put some strong cleaner on the tub to take out the rust and lime
stains.  After a few hours of scrubbing and alternating doses of cleaner, it
came out fairly well.  I want to kick the person who put those stupid tub
flower decorations in years ago, since the glue is still there and I can't get
it out.  Otherwise, got a lot of the white to come back out on the tub floor. 
Did a load of laundry, folded another, and got a load of dishes washed.  Fell
asleep for an hour (yesh, more sleep!).  Afterwards, went to gym for an hour
of cardio and then some price shopping for some home improvment items. 
Planning on insulating my attic next month and possibly sanding down all of my
hardwood floors and resealing them, and possibly painting my bathroom.  

Forgot to mention that on Monday I finally made the trip over to the hospital
to see Lisa.  Both ankles in a cast as well as her left wrist, but in good
spirits at least.  She had some aunts and uncles there so I really didn't get
much of a chance to really "talk" with her.  Daryl showed up and we chatted a
bit.  Then, everyone got kicked out of the room while she needed to freshen
up.  So, Daryl followed me out to my truck where we proceed to chat away for a
couple of hours about all topics.  Apparently Lisa can't recall the two hours
leading up to and including the accident.  We shall see if she will recover
her memory.  Otherwise, a lot of information that I will keep to myself for
now.  

Guess that's about it.  Time to head home and find some supper.  Tonight's
