Not a whole lot.  We were on staycation this past week and did some miscellaneous work around the house and managed to spend 7 hrs washing / waxing / detailing both our vehicles.   I also went to the SVRA historic races at the new NJ Motorsports Park last weekend.  I only went down for one day but still had a good time walking the track and scouting out locations for the Grand-Am weekend coming up the weekend in August.  Yep, I’ll be on staycation again the first week of September.    Actually, we do plan to go down to the Jersey shore for a couple of days.

Other than that, I’ve just been doing a little iRacing (I need to find more practice time!), working on some images in Lightroom 2, getting ready for the class(s) I’m going to be teaching starting in September, and working on some miscellaneous projects I’ve been trying to get going.    I just switched my Racing Historian site from being hosted on my own server over to SmugMug using a Pro Account.  It’s still a work in progress but I think it’s coming along nicely – even though quite slowly!

Time to go get ready to jump back into the swing of things at work tomorrow.  Later.
