Bigger Problems
Remember, there are probably bigger problems out there than those in your life...for example:
"After a decade of recession, Zimbabwe's inflation rate surged to an astounding record of 11.2 million percent in June, the highest in the world. Last month the central bank cut 10 zeros off the currency. Still, consumers have resorted to barter as inflation and a fall of the Zimbabwe dollar erode the value of cash. The country has faced both economic and political collapse since President Robert Mugabe seized white-owned commercial farms in 2000 and then most recently claimed victory in a one-man runoff president election."
Wow!

Thunder & Lightning
So to wake my peaceful slumber last night I was awoken around 2:15am to quite a ruckus and thought it was video/blog worthy. Make sure to turn your speakers on to hear the violent crackle of the thunderous roar...

# 171
Ok, so went on the first ride back in 5 days. Had a blow out and the long process to take care of that on the side of the road, plus not riding in the last 5 days made this one not the best...but nevertheless ended up doing 12.6 miles, averaging 16mph with a max of 30.4mph.
That being said, my favorite Olympic night so far was tonight. # 171 from Japan fell on 3 of his 4 floor exercises including once from the rings, once from the vault and twice on the horse. You could tell he was hating life and just wanted to go home, but for me, it provided a sizeable amount of comic relief...
About halfway through this video you can see the fall off the rings...

'67 Camaro (cont.)
By the way...unbeknownst to us at the time, all runs except the final run were done with THE PARKING BRAKE ON...so we got an extra 20hp bump at the end! haha
'67 Camaro dyno day
Check out the pix and videos...
Final results after test & tune: 346.8rwhp (equivalent to 366.7rwhp if it was tested on a DynoJet do to different rollers and calcs), so with 15% drivetrain loss, that's between 408 crank hp to 431 crank hp.
Good start...it'll be fun when we get NO2 in...

Baseball field from Three Wishes!
For those of you familiar with my child movie star career (IMDB), here's a picture my sis just took of the baseball field from Three Wishes where my infamous hit-by-pitch scene took place...
