Several consecutive 60+ hour weeks, too much of that spent up all night has left me pretty drained.

I was in Detroit for business late last month, my first time there outside the airport. I have to say it was pretty much what I expected. I’m sure there’s probably some positive things to say about the city but we certainly didn’t find them. Okay, it was February, very cold, very gray, but really its an astoundingly depressing city. When you’re driving the freeways towards the downtown core the neighborhoods on either side are amazing. Derelict houses, many gutted by fire but left standing. Vacant factories. EVERY office building/industrial complex had space for sale/lease. It truly is a city that had its legs cut out from underneath it. I definitely wasn’t upset to leave for home when all was said and done.

We’re headed on a road trip soon, our first real vacation after last years unpleasantness. I’ve been itching to just go for a while and I think this should be fun. We’re going to drive south as far as Washington, DC where we have a hotel booked for a couple of nights. The rest of the trip is going to be pretty free-form. Current plan is to go to Washington with a stopover in Connetticut or Massachusetts, spend a couple of days seeing the sights and the heading North through the Adirondacks for a couple of days eventually ending up in Montreal where we’ll bear east and head for home.

The Audi is back to its old tricks. We had a successful run at AMP on March 2nd where it ran flawlessly. Of 10 drivers the Audi took the top 4 positions! We weren’t so fortunate at the event this past Sunday, however, as the fuelling issues crept up again. I don’t know, we’re really at a loss here. Only 2 events left to go this season though, we’ll see I guess.
