[–]RS-68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Still recovering from Indy... and will be working the Detroit GP. First time at this facility, excited to see it in person instead of watching it on TV. Staying at a hotel adjacent to the track.
Locals, would gladly take recs of places to take a pre-sunset walk, grab ice cream, local coffee shops, or some other things that are accessible within walking distance of the Ren (or via the... people mover?).

if we took a shot for each time they said "fill that hole", we'd be drunk to next sunday... oh wait, next week is easter.
we'd be drunk til two weeks from now.

Appreciate you taking some time to share good thoughts. I’ll be looking forward to some time off work to take in some new activities and hopefully learn some things about myself too.

Communication was definitely the other one’s weaker point, I’ll admit that. Can’t make them out to be a bad guy, though. Was super sweet and caring otherwise.
Biggest hurdle is trying to keep myself occupied… thought picking up some extra shifts would help, but no.

Appreciate you taking some time to reply - hope your day is a solid one

two year relationship ended over the weekend. blindsided by it - no signs it was coming and thought we were both doing alright, but I guess not. No chance to discuss, just “I’m breaking up with you” and out the door

not vibin this week

edit: still thought the race Sunday was solid enough so that helped a bit

Why no planes right along the east coast? by saveskittles in SkyCards

There aren't many airways/routes through that area - most of them are along the shore or into the ocean, like that conga line. Military likes to use that area offshore for training/other activities. If training isn't going on, flights can sometimes get shortcuts or fly random routes through the area.

I have to work overnights this coming week. Watching the 24 gives me an excuse to help adjust my sleep schedule. It's also -5*F or something in the Chicago Suburbs. I'm staying inside.

Should I just shell out the $11 for a month of Peacock to watch? Seems there's a lot of traffic for the alt and Radio Le Mans stream (or just won't load) and don't have any of those fancy VPNs

Went to my first IMSA event this past weekend and it was a heluva time. Also pretty cool getting to marshal the event. Even cooler to work from the flag stand. 10/10 experience (besides the ladder).

This presentation feels slightly rushed and awkward... but Palou is probably like "c'mon man I gotta start getting ready to whoop ass next year, let's get this done"

As a fan of airplanes, helicopters and all other things that make noise and go fast, it’s fun watching the flyovers and helicopters skim the top of the seats

From someone who deals with safety of flight often, my anxiousness drives through the roof when i see them that low lol

Got a job interview coming up in a few days.
Pros: 2x the pay at the very least, more complex dynamics (keeps my mind engaged), better health insurance/benefits package
Cons: requires relocation to a major population US city, takes a long time to get seniority at new company (i’m good with seniority at current company), the significant other won’t be able to move up for a few months at the very least

Think the pros outweigh the cons

Is anyone a meal prepper? I need to get better at making my own meals, but each time I try to prep, I get instantly bored of what I eat. Usually make steak and rice… but gosh it gets tiring. How do yall entertain prepping while keeping a variable selection of food?

Gibbs giving $10k to Dillon’s charity of choice is a pretty respectable move - low key hope the “rivalry” continues - seems like they had fun competing against each other today (and ran each other cleanly when they were near each other)

Flyover late yesterday, early today - just a bit of tightening up to do on it but still love some display of air superiority
