Great course. I really did like it a lot.
This weekend was...interesting.
Saturday, while packing the trailer, one of the tie down straps I use to secure the wheels broke. Fortunately, I had three more.
Then I woke up this morning to a driver side door that wouldn't open. Somehow - by the work of elves, it would seem - the interior lock switch has come free of the mechanism. So the car now thinks it needs to be locked all of the time. Which is convenient.
First session mostly wet. Managed to spin about 20 feet into the course, so that was excellent. I didn't manage to hit anything though, so that's good. Second session, well...I'd rather just forget about that. It's not often I find myself embarrassed by my driving, but today was one of those times.
The real fun started after fun runs. I was nearly finished packing when it started to pour. Which is also the time that I noticed two more of the tie downs had failed on the trip to the site, leaving me with one good one. OK, I'll make it work somehow. Get about 3 miles from the site, in the pouring rain, and I see the tie down coming free from the trailer in the rear view mirror. So I pulled into the turn lane, with 55mph traffic on both sides to me, to find...another broken tie down! Eventually I managed to piece one together from two broken ones while Dustin and Malia watched on. Thanks to you guys who stopped to see if I was okay, I appreciate it a lot. When you all stopped, I really did think I was fine.
There's an old Soundgarden song where one of the lyrics is "shoulda stayed in bed." Somehow, that song is stuck in my head tonight...
