Abode of Clarus

Cyanne came out to visit me and together we had the chance to complete what I had written down as one of my personal goals a little over a month ago. We went out to the HMS Dedalus and went for a pair of powerless flights around the Lee-on-the-Solent area.

It was a total blast. There is a possibility if I 'keep it up' in the next few months I might be able to solo by the end of the year. I have to weigh the value of that, but it was certainly worth it!

The british actually pronounce it rather strange, it's "sa-lee-ka" rather than "sell-eh-ka" But rather than L-dawg's old POS, this is a race bred Celica GT-Four which, athough rare did exist in the US. Of course, I would assume not in the same trim as this.

You know I had walked down this street many times before, but this was the first time that I noticed this block.

I kid you not, this is a two-way road with horses. Not one of those 'backwoods' roads, but actually one of the most efficient ways between two cities.

That's right, I cooked dinner.

This is my attempt at General Tso's. I followed the recipe to the letter, but I fear the recipe is too health oriented and lacks the MSG, slimy goodness that you can normally find in the states. That being said, I put some fresh organic chili flakes on it and it didn't turn out that bad. I guess I have some learning to do though. Looks appetizing though, no? Really the only reason I am posting this is for my mother, unless any of you ladies are interested in a romantic dinner...

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to another World Superbike race. One thing that a bunch of motorcycle race fans know how to do is aggressively queue.

Yet another photo from the WorldSBK race at Brands Hatch.

Now this is one heck of a parking lot. I couldn't even attempt to fit all of the motorcycles into view, but the lot was about the size of a football field filled completely handlebar to handlebar.

As shown above, our heroic part before their descent into the Battle Arena!

Note the smiles of victorious triumph of a foreign land! Rizrar was once again reunited last weekend in the land of the Rising Sun.
