Oskar and I are home from our weekend at Oma’s. Xavier’s staying until Patty comes up this next weekend. They boys had a great time Saturday burning off some steam running laps in the basement of the old house (still for sale if anyone’s interested), the mall and finally exploring the Elgin Public Museum. After that Chris and I went to the SCCA Chicago Solo awards banquet. I picked up my 9th place trophy (Wahoo!) and some Hoosier Tire door prize SWAG which the kids put to good use this morning. Some commented photos below. (more…)

Autocross Update
Monday, August 21st, 2006Results were posted for yesterday’s race, I didn’t do too bad in class 19th of 36, (Street Tire) - not quite into the top half, but overall on the PAX index I’m not doing as well as I did earlier in the year. Heading into the weekend I was 21st in Street Tire for the year (of 33 who had competed 2 events or more). We will see how that looks once they update the numbers with the fourth event.
SCCA Learning Curve
Monday, April 3rd, 2006We did it, Chris and I both finished the autocross school and are registered for next weekends first event. It rained yesterday but the car was awsome in the rain and we had a goood time. Scores were posted online last night, looks like we both ran mid pack overall. Not too bad for our first time.
Xavier’s First Steps, Oskar Does Monkey Bars, Chicago Visit and Racing
Friday, March 31st, 2006Xavier is working on walking. He’s great at standing and can cruise about 2 steps consistently, he’s had a few longer voyages covering 2′-4′ of ground, but they are still the exception. Oskar mastered the monkey bars yesterday, swinging from bar to bar to bar with some effort, but getting the confidence he needs to master it all the while. The basement is under construction. It’s still a ways off but it’s looking great so far. We fired up the projector last night and watched Dora the Explorer on the wall since we don’t have a room as of yet. Since I haven’t updated in a while… let me add that Deep and Sue came out for a visit and we took a trip to the Hancock downtown. I’ve got a mess of pictures to upload. This weekend is the Solo Learning Curve driving school. Chris and I will be heading down to Joliet for two full days of training and a day of competition.
