Thanks, Buddy!

I went to Colombus Oh and contested an autocross on Saturday at Ohio State and visited with Lovely daughter number one and her children and automotive nut hubby.

Got whupped at the autocross and severly sunburnt since I neglected to bring my sun block, played with the grandkids and generally had a wonderful time.

Happy fathers day to all the other dads and granddads out there!

Thanks, Swede! Mine was excellent, dinner and litres at our favorite German restaurant with my family and friends. We were joined by my FIL and some good friends and their kids. My parents were supposed to come along but they had an offer and deposit on their boat so they spent the day going through the buyer's punch list and taking a Tahoe's-worth of "stuff" off it. So I drank my father's beer for him.

The owner, Nick, and I.

Father's day yesterday was spent on the farm roasting marshmallows and eating beef.

Thanks Ted.

Same here!

Daughter and I shared the couch napping all afternoon! My kind of Father's Day!

Phooey on gifts and expensive buffets! Buffalo wings, beer, and a good movie with the kid later that evening made for a nice ending to the day!
