• 24 hour recap. Wife with boat, middle of nowhere, bearing let's go, fire, extinguished, steve sleeps in truck, NAPA parts and roadside fix. #
• Photo of trailer bearings after the meltdown. Why Nautique agreed to a single axle trailer is beyond me. http://t.co/qxpJvMr #

• Having a Mitsubishi parts manager who coordinates orders over gmail chat is almost too ideal. #
• Stopped by moms and broke into the neighbors car which was in the driveway. Apparently any key will open a grand am. #
• What's the best alternative for DimDim, now that they were sold off to Salesforce? Really miss the open web conferencing platform. #
• I need to recruit a new boat crew for water skiing at dawn. The original early morning crew isn't so early anymore. #

• Snuck into the Tire Rack video of One Lap with some wet skid pad laps. http://t.co/TSY6yZ6 #
• Amazed at how good the regional tech sales teams are at hunting down my email address. Social engineering at work. #

• Moved the entire server room before work started. Almost looks legit now…almost. #

• I wonder if "don't make a mess of the house while I'm gone" included using the jigsaw to cut up the kitchen cabinets? http://t.co/J3zOvkx #
• I wonder how fast the BBC would issue a lawsuit if we made our own version of Top Gear? #
• Couldn't find a non-denominational master list of 2011 DE events for Watkins Glen, so I started one. http://bit.ly/kOKCQT #
• My house is only a pitlane to get me repacked for Watkins Glen. Very odd packing to go down without a car. #
