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.
Yep, this week Cheryl and I are on a “Plaster Cruise”. We’re painting the 3rd bedroom which for the most part has been used as a ‘catch all’ room. With a 107 year old house, dealing with plaster walls is always so much fun. Luckily, we had done some repair work and sanding several months ago and put up a layer or two of primer. So ‘all’ we had to do was tape up all the edging around two windows, primary door, closet door, and the baseboard around the room. Then we painted the ceiling with that cool goes on pink – changes to white when dries ceiling paint. Surprisingly it works very well and applies nicely. Then, two coats of paint on the walls and edging, a coat of primer on all woodwork around windows, doors, and baseboard, and then a coat (or perhaps 2) of white gloss on the woodwork. As of right now, all that remains is that final coat of paint on the woodwork. “My” plan is to turn the room into a nice “reading” room with a new LCD TV at some point. We’ll need to pick up a couple of nice chairs and table. The initial idea was to use it as a spare guest room with a sleeper sofa and add our old TV in there. However, we decided we would get more utility out of using it as a “reading” room and purchase one of those AeroBeds for whenever we have company.
It’s “vacations” like this that make sitting in my office look real good right about now. The good news is after this is done, I’m doing nothing more other than perhaps wash and wax the vehicles or mow the lawn. We may take a day trip up to Bushkill Falls as well. Might be a nice hike to take some nice pictures with the camera depending on the weather.
