    Drifted the Murano to the Dr and then back home. Watched an idiot in a 300 fly by me doing 45, then hit the brakes 100 feet before the stop light as if it was any old day. He slid clear through the intersection.

    Left my house at 4:40AM. Drove from Wylie on watery roads all the way til Plano Parkway and Custer then drove on ice for 1+ miles to work. The parking lot at Central Market was a sheet of ice. I slid into my parking spot.

    Technically I have the day off so I am home. I am taking the CJ down to the shop to get some cage work done on it though.

    Goddamn I thought I would get in trouble for not showing up, turns out to be not the case at all as my boss didn't even come in!

    I wanna play at home!

    I just had a two mile drive to the TRE station. Trinity was a little slick, but not too trecherous. Being 6:30 AM, there was not a lot of traffic yet, which makes things easier.

    I went to work this morning. It took me about 45 minutes to get here (versus 15-20 minutes normally), but that was only because of all the idiots driving 11mph.

    I got here around 8am, and I was the only one in the department. Some of the others have trickled in since, but probably only half of our normal workforce.

    I didn't have any trouble with the RX-8 on summer tires at all. Never even saw the traction control light up. Then again, today's commute was nothing compared to driving a rental minivan down a mountain pass in a blizzard, like I got to do over Christmas.

    Who's doin' the cage work for ya?

    The Spousal unit was touchy on the subject of the Spec's cage as that was going to dip into savings... but I got a CAP award over the weekend from work for some stuff I did with another team. That will pay for the other half of the cage.

    Oh, and we're off work today for MLK.

    Skeleton crew here today. I keep overhearing other people brag about how they managed to out-drive everyone else on the way in.


    I've seen most of them drive. They probably caused a lot of crashes this morning.

    Probably not. The sun has cleared off the roads for the most part (at least in my neck of the woods).
