hey everyone,

It recently started snowing since tuesday here in the Pacific NorthWest and kept on going until last night. As a result I’ve had yuki parked in the garage safe and sound for fear of anything happening to her. lol Here’s a quick shot of my backyard. :p I’d say in total we got up to about 2-3feet of snow.

Because of the snow, and people not getting out much, Traxx indoor raceway,the go-kart track around the corner from my house, was having $10 sessions all day yesterday! So, I took advantage of the deals, and make the trek through the snow on foot, to go tear it up at the go-kart track. It wasn’t a very far walk. Maybe a mile at most.

Driving their dual-engine karts was a blast, and with the cold temps, they basically turned into high powered drift karts. Downside, is after my first session, I couldn’t feel my hands, and after a few minute they swelled up due to the cold. Yes, that’s with the racing gloves on. lol It was totally worth it though as I had the whole place to myself to just focus and go into time-attack mode. Sadly, because of the cold temps, cold tires resulting in lots of understeer, I wasn’t able to beat my personal best. But, I think given the conditions, I put down some pretty good times.

Anyways, having the past few days off from work, and being able to hangout at home, sleep in, and do a whole lot of nothing provided some WELL needed R&R from the hectic work/school schedule. I hope everyone else is having a good start to they’re year so far! ^_^

    You know its quite sad I was talking recently to a friend aswell. Its only snowed once properly in my life time and I was 1-2 years old at that time so I couldn’t even enjoy it. Tho hopefully end of the year ill have saved up enough to go overseas and ski!

    I hope after reading this you break out the sled and go enjoy it!

      haha that’s too bad. yeah, I’m used to seeing a bit of snow every year or so. It’s nice when it’s falling, but not enough to disrupt traveling around. because once it does, it gets kinda miserable. lol although I do like not having to go to work because of it ;)
