Very lucky to have gotten to visit an amazing Motorsport festival in Portugal while on a family trip.

Go! With Moon
Last night I went to a screening of Craft of Speed (Mooneyes documentary) at Griot's in Tacoma. Namsayin flew in Shige & Chico for the event. Immensely awesome, and it'll be hard to top. I've been into Mooneyes for 30 years so it was just the pinnacle evening for me.

Sunday morning R/C club, we did a little boating, and some monster trucking. Better than screen time. My 5 yo is getting pretty decent at driving.

Basically just accepted that until further notice. I’m personally pausing any hobby related purchases, because I refuse to pay 10-15-30-50% over value.

Buying cameras, retro games, board games, skincare, flashlights, sex toys, watches, and anything else from overseas just became far more complicated, slow, and expensive.

All this feels stupid, but distracting myself putting this car back together. Also trying to figure how I can get the throttle linkages sent to me, since you know global shipping is paused.

Watching a Penske driver win so a Hendrick driver can get into the playoffs… lame. But that was a good clean finish.

2016 Outback rear wheel bearing are as bad to do as the internet tells you. Ended up just buying a whole new very expensive knuckle. This car has 40k New England miles. Also needing a wheel bearing at 40k is insane.

Bubba Wallace’s win was incredible, but my hot take now is that his car scheme was terrible. Ugh ChumbaCasino, just a super cringe online game site. If only the car was the teal Columbia or McDs or Jumpman, my goodness. Iconic

My toxic trait is fixing other people’s hack wiring jobs. Once I have the car running I’ll dig into what’s hiding under the dash.

Made some progress? But now I have to take this all back to the flywheel, it appears the pilot bearing is somehow wrong. I cannot get the transmission to seat.
