    still a long ways to go, the dark red came back, but we are expecting 2+ inches monday-weds, which will be very helpful.

    Autobahn is pretty damn fun. I went twice, back when it first opened. Once with two other friends (to test it out) and then like 10 of us met up there and had a kick ass time. Time-wise, each race is 14 laps (I think) and each lap takes like 20-30sec. That said, there are a few warmup laps and cautions for wrecks, so each race is like 15mins. One thing for sure is your ass will will be whipped after a couple races and you'll have a blast. The cars are quick as hell. They're as fast as you want them to be. The key is work the gas to where your're not sliding and not using your brake. Also, you're not racing the other nine people out there. You're competing for best time, so make some space between you and the guy in front of you and to get caught up in a pack. I'm pretty jealous. You must have a cool boss.

    You're not going back to the office after, are you? Is that a dumb question on a Friday? You're going to be pretty sweaty. Dress accordingly..tennis shoes and teeshirt are a must.

    Wasn't go out tonight so decided to grab a quick burger at jack browns. Lakeview was flooded with a 90s bar crawl (think 25-30 y/o singles dressed up like they're going to a swap. Sad!) so had to park in a business parking lot across the street that several other cars were parked in and which was closed for the weekend. Towed in the 30 minutes I was there. $165. :/

    I'm thinking all the bad stuff is going to stay north of jeffco. Just going to be your run of the mill storm front preceding a cold front. Between 3:00 and 4:00 is when we'll see the most action.
