Good Day

Spent 12 hours driving up the coast yesterday and it was great. It also happens to be historic/exotic car weekend in Monterrey so there was a number of exotic cars in clubs/rallys driving up as well. Always see exotics on this trip but this time they were in groups like 6 Lamborghini Aventadors in a row, 3 Lamborghini Diablos, 4 Ferrari 458s, 5 Porsche GT 3s and so on. Spotted a Porsche Carrera GT and 918 Spyder. Gotta have big balls/money to drive a near million dollar car in stop and go traffic. We were in stop and go traffic behind the Batventador for miles coming into Monterrey.

Taking it easy today with a small drive on a gorgeous twisty road through redwood trees to a nice little restaurant for lunch and then later tonight a dinner/wine tasting/concert with Chris Isaac. Should be fun.

I bought one of those Google Chromebooks a couple years back and love it. Best $200 bucks I've spent. I now use it for nearly everything but building stuff that needs dream weaver or photo shop.

It's what I am on now because I can easily take it traveling. I keep absolutely nothing on it and sign in as guest so it keeps no history. If I lose/break it or gets stolen I can go to a store and buy another one without any worries at all, even on vacation

Today someone came and fixed the water boiler It is now working. Sadly they knackered up the plumbing at the same time, so I got a lovely hot tank of water and no way to get it out of the tank!

Vegetarian (soya) bolognese for dinner tonight. Partially to try and get back on my diet, but mostly because I have been pumping too much fat into my veins over the past few days and they need a rest from it. Bolognese is not something I am good at, I usually make a lousy meat one. So instead of risking whatever inedible nightmare I would create using ground soya instead of meat I'm auditioning a new "all in one" packet mix. The soya and sauce come already mixed in a bag, just add water and boil. Bet I fuck it up though!
