July 4th Weekend - Sunday
Tuesday, July 05, 2005Sunday was more of a day of rest than anything else.
Got up, watched two different movies on TV and annihilated my mom's score on Bejeweled 2.
After all of that action, the fam went to the traditional Sunday Night event: Midget Racing. No no, not "little people" running around the track, these are small racecars. Basically, they're a methanol burning 4-cylinder engine, mounted in a roll cage with some body panels strapped on that and open wheels. They race on a clay track and it's definitely some good action.
There weren't any big flips like there can be, but one driver did end up on his head. I have some pictures of this to be posted eventually as well.
After the race, I was supposed to meet up with the Best Friend for a party, but he left early because he had his daughter with and they pulled out the ganja. He didn't want her to be around that. Since I didn't really know them I didn't go either.
I couldn't call it THAT early of a night (it was 10:30) and since the Best Friend was done for the night. I dragged The Mom to the small town festival nearby and hit the Beer Tent. We tried looking for a friend of the family who lives near there, but couldn't find her. Slugged down two 25.4 ounce cans of Fosters (it was 2 bucks for a 12 oz bud or miller, or 4 for the 25.4 oz Fosters) and then called it a night since I was going to drive back up to the cities in the morning.
Damn those were big cans.
