Default How do you cure the Winter Blues?

For me it's as simple as listening to my 928 V8 in full song!

Shoveling. I don't think about driving when I have to do it. And it's a relief when I can stop.


Someone asked me my state of residence the other day. I was ready to say "Hawaii" and make it so.

Dr Bob,

I was on Oahu last month but didn't see one Porsche, let alone a 928, the whole time I was there! Just something wrong about that.

By helping buddies out...
I had the chance to go up to see Ryan, and help him with his other project car.

I have to admit, I had my reservations about the conversion initially. But, seeing him put so much of his heart and soul in it he won me over. I think we should all be supportive...





That's our boy, sporting his flannel.

I went skating on the lake yesterday after getting http://camp928.com online. Talked to some ice fishermen. Flew the drone over them - I have video projects that need winter shots. Tomorrow I'll get back to Bike Calculator 2.0, a sorely needed update to my iPhone app. It ain't easy at my age. We signed up with Home Chef, so we cook three fancy meals a week. Oh - and I have a ridiculous list of major and minor 928 items to work on, and documenting every little thing I do on Rennlist. And I still have time for long naps!

Glen I am playing in a Mens Hockey league as well as various pick up games.

So got the "do something" covered. But the rinks are indoors.

I do. Every morning my lab and I spend about 45 minutes with a wheelbarrow and pitchfork cleaning our smallest paddock. At 40 pounds a horse a day you don't want to get too far behind keeping things "clean".
