  1. Good action on the opening laps.
  2. What about Steamin’? Walkin’ is good but is a comp from earlier recordings. Steamin’ is part of the Workin/Relaxin/Cookin quartet.
  3. Meant to add: that hot part of the trumpet recording is really only the first track anyway.
  4. This one has been a little polarizing over on Steve Hoffman. IMO, Bernie tends to master things pretty flat and mostly as they were recorded, which let the shrill Harmon mute shine here. I like mine. I have a decent Bergenfield 2nd pressing too, and the new one is a bit more clear and present.
  5. Nice. I have some babies, too. I don’t hardly drive since I WFH, so some kind of warbler (I think) made a nest in my vehicle wheel well. Not as cool as screech owls, though. Was kinda surprised they hatched since I noticed them the last time I drove and was away from home, but that was before they hatched. Since I park in the same spot, guess momma found em easily enough again.
  6. Expanding on the paddock stuff:
  7. They just waited for after the race.
  8. No porpoising so far, even from Ferrari and Merc. Likely due to lower DF, though. Need to see Merc slam that ride height down and see how it does.
  9. The straights are long enough here that there should be passing at least.
  10. This is really going to improve their wet traction.
  11. It helped that I had bought this thing for only about $25, but it worked out fine and continues to take good, sharp images.
  12. Found them. You use the rubber stopper thing to remove the trim ring, then the spanner to remove the ring that holds the outer element, which then just kind of comes out. Then the aperture assembly comes out. I think I just soaked it in acetone (nail polish remover), but can’t remember for sure. Manually actuated it a lot to work the acetone between the blades to dissolve the oil, waited for it to dry, then re-assembled.
  13. They are pretty easy to take apart if you want to try to fix it. I fixed my FD 50 1.4 SSC myself that suffered from that issue. Let me see if I have photos of it. You’ll need this: Neewer Camera Lens Openning Repairing Tool Kit Includes: 10-100mm Lens Repair Set with 3 Tips, 6 Screws and 2 Hexagon Wrench for Canon Nikon Sony Olympus DSLR Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0734PH87W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WYPBQT7HT5THXVZ8QXJ2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 And something like this, BUT you can probably find a grommet or something similar in the hardware section at Walmart. I think that’s what I did.

  14. Yeah, Trevor’s great. A true F1 fan, too.
  15. Sky published some more footage and a one-on-one that Lewis and Valentino Rossi did back in 2020 when they did the F1 car/MotoGP bike swap. Pretty cool. I didn’t realize that Lewis did 59 laps at Valencia (the MotoGP circuit not the old street circuit) a few days before this with Morbidelli (also peep James Vowles there, both he and Bono ride as well). That must have been a tiring day. Also, Rossi says that at one point in 2006 he was kinda close to driving for Ferrari, but ultimately says he wasn’t as good on 4 wheels as he was on 2, and since he wasn’t “ready” to stop riding, he continued with motorcycles.
  16. If one of them hasn’t recovered by then I would think they’d use Herbie Blash for the weekend. I do think that he’d have to inspect the new surface too, though. Not saying he can’t do that, but I am not sure how that process works.
  17. I should say, he did try to buy out Haas a bunch of times (and had a preliminary deal with Sauber), but currently they are trying to become a new entry.
  18. Ferrari Driver Academy is pretty bare at the moment. They have Schwartzman in F2 who is OK and is Ferrari’s current test driver, but he’s not spectacular (he’s also Russian, but competes under the Israeli flag now), and Arthur Leclerc in F3 who is ok but not even close to what his brother is.
  19. This doesn’t really help you since you’re staying in West Yellowstone, but just as an aside, when I went to YELL and GRTE from SLC, I stayed in Logan for the night and then cut through the Wasatch and went up around Bear Lake and eventually into Wyoming that way, into Jackson and eventually the South YELL entrance. It’s at least much more interesting than the normal highway drive. Some parts are still boring, but was worth it overall.
  20. The field, in general, is really damn good right now. It will be even better when Piastri gets a seat (which may be in a Williams next year).
  21. I’m just glad Latifi didn’t crash this time. But yeah.
