Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...

Hi everyone.

I'll be going to Cleveland tomorrow morning to the Autoshow up there.  I'll be up there much of the day, and hopefully I'll have fun.

For tonight, I'll be trying to rest up and make myself some fried chicken later on.  And I'll be waiting for next Thursday as that's the day that Audi will have a public unveiling of the 2015 Le Mans program.

 

Speaking of which, here's what they were up to last week:

Hi everyone.

I had a great time in Cleveland today, spent a ton of time at the autoshow, and had a fun ride to and from.  I didn't take a lot of photos--my friend took them--but I had a lot of fun and brought home a lot of stuff today.

Now I'll be getting ready to watch F1 practice and getting ready for work tomorrow.

Hi everyone.

I had a good day at work and watched some TV tonight.  I also got to hold our kitten Marcy while her pet carrier was cleaned and I also got to pet Momma Kitty, who will let people reach in her carrier and pet her.

I'll probably be having something to eat soon and then I'll probably be going to sleep after I get a few other things done.

Hi everyone.

Today has been kinda slow so far, but I do have some stuff planned.  Mostly looking up some stuff online and doing some gaming later on today/tonight.  

At least my energy is better than it has been because of the weather actually being decent around here.  

For now, I'll leave you with a couple of barn owl videos:

Hi everyone.

Today wasn't a great day.  I woke up not feeling well at all and I had to call off work.  I'm still not feeling that great, but right now, I'm gonna try and finish up some pasta stuff I made last night.  I probably won't do a ton for the rest of today and tonight.  Probably look some stuff up online and rest up.  At least the Audi R18 public showing is supposed to happen sometime tomorrow.

Oh, and I have a blog that I write.  It's mostly about motorsports stuff, but I do post some other stuff with it.  Here's a link:

Hi everyone.

Today was a much better day.  For one, I'm not feeling sick, and two, I'm in a much better mood as a result.

Also, Audi had the public launch for the R18 LMP1 program today.

Here's a preview pic:

Hi everyone.

I had a good day at work--I made a list of files in the basement at work, stayed up at the front desk, and scanned for a bit at the end of the day.  Other than that, I haven't been up to too much, though.

I don't have too many plans for the weekend or the rest of tonight, either.  Mostly, I want to make some fried chicken and look up some stuff online.  I do hope that some of you liked the Audi stuff that I've linked to recently

Hi everyone.

I don't have too much planned for today.  Mostly playing some games and getting some rest, and possibly spending some time out side.

Other than that, I don't have too much to add.

Hi everyone.

Sorry for not writing the past couple of days.  I've been busy with work, doctors appointments, and other stuff, and I've been tired and exhausted the past couple of days.

At least I found out that the Walmart/Sam's Choice pizzas are pretty good.  And I get paid Friday so I'll be getting some more.  

But right now, I'm trying to make breakfast and I'm not in the greatest of shape.  Just a bit tired and groggy.

Hi Everyone.

I had a decent day of work today, but my shoulder and arm weren't doing too well after work so I took a long nap hoping that they'd get better. Thankfully so far, they have.

I do have an outing tomorrow and for tonight I'll be looking up some stuff and having some dinner. I have a couple of pizzas that I'd like to get rid of before I replace them with the Walmart Sam's Choice ones that I really like.

Oh, and this is a video of a rare song of a rare (to the US) car:

Hi everyone.

Today was kinda a crappy day weather-wise, but at least I got done what I wanted to do on my outing, and I have another planned for next Tuesday.

I get paid tomorrow and I'll be getting groceries and stuff, too.  But outside of that, I don't really have a whole lot planned in the immediate future.

Hi everyone.

I had a pretty good day at work, and I'm also pretty happy with how Audi have run at the WEC Prologue test in France.  I've even happy that Porsche are doing pretty well too.  

I don't have a ton of plans for this weekend.  It's gonna be cold until Sunday, then rainy, but then things will be pleasant again starting Monday.  I do plan on watching F1 practice tonight and the race late tomorrow night, as well as catching up on looking up some stuff online.

Hi everyone.

I don't really have any plans this Saturday aside from watching the F1 race tonight and having a fish dinner while watching it.

Outside of that, I'm pretty happy with what Audi have done at the WEC Prologue test and I'm waiting for photos and video to come out of it.  I also got some Herr's Fire Roasted Sweet Corn potato chips yesterday.  They're pretty good, but at the same time, I wish that I had a bag of their actual Fire Roasted Sweet Corn.

But outside of that, I don't really have anything spectacular to report on.

Hi everyone.

I haven't really done a ton today, but at least the weather is warming up.

I have followed the FIA WEC Prologue test this weekend, and here's some videos from it:

Hi everyone.

I had a good day at work today and I'll be having my outing tomorrow.  Tonight, I plan on looking some stuff up, watching a TV show and having fried chicken for dinner.

And here's some photo galleries from the WEC Prologue weekend:

Hi everyone.

I should be getting my payment tomorrow and I also have work.  At least the weather will be good over the next few days until it cools off Saturday.

As for my outing today, I ate at the Old Bag of Nails Pub, and they have great food and service.  I'd recommend it if you're in the Mansfield area.  I also got to see what a barn owl looks like when it's angry.  It's barn owl mating season and he also doesn't like the noise that's going on due to the renovation of the buildings at the bird sanctuary.  So those things tend to make him upset and a lot more aggressive than normal.

Hi everyone.

I had a pretty decent day at work yesterday, but once I got in bed, I pretty much stayed there last night.  That was actually kinda a good thing, because I haven't felt this good in a while.  Nothing really hurts and I feel motivated to do some stuff.  

Thus, I do have a busy day planned.  I wanna look up some stuff, wash dishes, and later tonight make some home made fast food with some chicken cutlets I found at Walmart to make sandwiches with.  And if not for the threat of rain, I'd try and go for a walk later today around my family's property.

Hi everyone.

Yesterday was a decent but dreary day, and today's been going pretty well so far.  

First, a cat update.  Mama Kitty still likes getting petted in her carrier, though we've had little luck so far in getting her to come out.  She did "talk" to me today, though.  As for Marcy, she went though a period recently where she didn't really want to have human contact.  Today however, she's purred constantly and when you let her out of her pet carrier, she'll let you pet her and play with her.  She still doesn't really like being held, though.  Both are probably getting pretty close to where we can let them have the run of the house, and they behave well around people and the other cats now.

As for me, I don't have a ton of plans for today, just looking up some stuff and maybe squeezing in some game play.

Also next Sunday, the FIA WEC will have the whole 6 Hours of Silverstone live next Sunday Morning on Fox Sports 1.  So if you have FS1 and are up next Sunday morning, I'd check it out just to see if it interests you.

Also, some photos from a show that Liana did last night:

Hi everyone.

I've been busy for the past couple of days, and I slept in this morning until I had to get ready for my outing today.  I did manage to pay down a library bill and check out some books.  That of course means that I got a couple of books on owls, including one entirely about barn owls.

For the rest of today, I plan on some gaming stuff, for sure looking some stuff up, and making the fried chicken dinner that I didn't get to make last night due to going to sleep early.

Hi everyone.

Today wasn't a great one for sure.  I woke up at 4:00 this morning throwing up, then I called off work because of being ill, and now my front yard's a tropical swamp and the creek by my house is flooded to it's banks.  Not to mention that the storms this morning that caused said water issues kept me up at times while I was trying to get some rest because of being sick.  

At least I'm up and about now and the sun's coming out a bit, not that it'll dry things out too much with off and on rain forecast though at least Friday.

Speaking of which, this could come in handy this summer along with local weather reports:

I'll be trying to get back on track the rest of today, and I'll be trying to finally make that chicken dinner that I've yet to get around to making.

Hi everyone.

I've had enough of the rain and storms for a while.  At least this weekend from Friday morning onwards will be dry decent out.  

I do get paid tomorrow and I do have some plans for that money, obviously.  In the shorter term, I do have some stuff I wanna finish looking up and some F1 practice to watch tonight.  Friday into Saturday morning does look like things might be busy for me on the TV watching front with the NASCAR race possibly Saturday night, the F1 race Saturday night, and the WEC race Sunday morning.  Not to mention some stuff on the History Channel I want to watch on those nights.  But by Sunday night, things will have calmed down for a while.

Hi everyone.

It's been kinda a long week between being sick, doing a lot of running, and having to deal with aches and pains, but I'll be glad when it's Sunday afternoon and the weekend's racing is done and I can truly relax a little.  I sort of hate this weekends when there's so much racing going on, it means a lot to keep up with, and tonight, a lot to stay up for.

At least Audi have done very well at Silverstone all weekend so far.  Hopefully the race will pan out the same.  I don't know if I'll watch it, at least all of it, tomorrow, due to what I'll be doing tonight.  But if you have Fox Sports 1, you can watch it.

But tonight I'll be trying to catch the NASCAR and F1 races, and maybe sneak in a nap before my parents get here and I'll probably watch the last of the WEC race, too.

Hi everyone.

I'm pretty happy today because the weekend's racing is over, with Audi winning today at Silverstone.  I'll post links to videos, stories, and photos as I find them.  I even caught the last 2:30 on TV this morning on Fox Sports 1, which will also carry other rounds of the WEC live.

For tonight, though, I'll probably be looking up some stuff, doing some gaming, and getting ready for work tomorrow.

Hi everyone.

I had a pretty good day at work today, and I'm still pretty much in a happy mood because of Audi winning the WEC race yesterday.

Here's a gallery of yesterday's action:

Glad to have tomorrow off so I can catch up with some stuff at home.

Hi everyone.

I do finally have a Silverstone WEC weekend wrap up list of links, but first, about my day.<br />

It was alright. I got plenty of work done, got a Little Cesar's pizza, and I have a day off tomorrow, and for now at least, the weather is good.<br />

I don't have too much more to comment on at the moment, aside from starting to make plans for the weekend after this coming one. I'll be trying to do some stuff involving a bird show that the Ohio Bird Sanctuary is putting on. I just need to find out where they'll be having their barn owls going primarily.

Okay, Silverstone WEC round up.
