It’s Tuesday. On Saturday, a friend texted to let us know there was a small car show happening at Aces Garage in Minooka, Illinois. We’d been there a few times before for their pizza, and since we didn’t have any plans, we figured, why not?

As it turned out, the Windy City Corvette Club had made Aces Garage one of the lunch stops during one of their weekend cruises. Naturally, the parking lot was filled with Corvettes, but there were a few other eye-catching rides mixed in as well, including a Camaro, a Ferrari, and even a McLaren. We spent some time wandering around checking out the cars before grabbing a pizza and hanging out for a while. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I put together a small gallery of some of the automotive goodness on display. Go ahead and check it out below.

It’s Monday. As with much of the U.S. and Europe, we’re now under a Heat Advisory here in Illinois. The heat and humidity will roll in today and it’s expected to stick around for the next several days. It’s our first real blast of summer weather this year, so I suppose it’s time to kick the air conditioner into overdrive.

The weekend itself was pretty low-key. I’m still on the mend from surgery, but felt good enough to meet up with a friend for pizza on Saturday. Then on Sunday I settled into the garage to watch the NASCAR race from Sonoma. The girlfriend gave me a 55-inch TV for the garage last Christmas, and we finally got it mounted and hooked up. It made for a pretty nice way to spend the afternoon—watching the race without having to leave my favorite place.

Anyway, I’m going to try doing some work this week. Stay cool everybody.

It’s Friday! Well, I’ve been out of the hospital for almost a week now, and I’m doing okay. Not great, but definitely better than I was. Even though I’m finally home, I’m not done playing the medical game just yet. Every Thursday I’ll be heading in for IV antibiotic infusions, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have appointments at the wound clinic. It’s not exactly how I planned to spend my summer, but it sure beats being stuck in the hospital.

On to something a lot more enjoyable. I have another new amateur photo from one of my readers. He’s sent in a few shots of this lovely lady over the months, so she should look familiar to some of you. As always, I’ve also got the usual double babes and double jokes to round things out. Enjoy!
