This was a good weekend. Breakfast date Saturday morning, quite a bit of reading and the last two GT7 weekly challenge races in the afternoon. Slept late-ish on Sunday, watched a lot of racing and the Louisville Kings game, read some more, started painting some Mechs.

Then decided I wasn't at all happy with the initial coats on the Mechs and put 'em in Pine-Sol. I'll try again with different primer and paint in a couple of days. Just for laughs, while mucking around with the Locusts, I put them next to a Marauder 2, and that assault 'Mech just eclipsed the two little guys. Much like Wu-Tang, 100 tons of walking fusion-powered war machine ain't nothing to fuck with.

So, the Kings. Expansion team, started off the season 0-3, traded some players around and got real good. Ended the season 6-4 and got into the post-season. Drew the St. Louis Battlehawks for the playoff game, played hard, and got the win. Louisville's kicker nailed two 60+ yard field goals, which are good for four points in the UFL and I don't care what league or level you're playing at, that's impressive. So, the Kings go to DC this coming Saturday to play the DC Defenders for the UFL title. DC ended the season 5-5, and early odds have Louisville slight favorites. Should be a good game. Just have to find somewhere to watch it.

Decided to pass on Origins. Again. I looked at things rationally and reran the costs and it just makes no sense at all to spend the money on a couple of nights in a hotel and parking and/or Uber/Lyft and all that just because I want to get a book before it hits FLGS shelves. And anyway a friend offered to pick it up for me so that's taken care of.

The two-month-long I-65 shutdown started today. I expected it to be Mad Max out there, but things weren't bad, at least where I drove. Some backup at the 264-65 interchange, easily thwarted by getting into the left lanes until getting clear of things. The big test, for me, will be Thursday when I go out to Henry and Bullitt to see people. I'll detour over to Bardstown Road via 265 and just run that way back to downtown.

The day wasn't without incident, of course. The Can Opener bridge got three trucks today, which local lore suggests is a single-day career best. I'm betting it'll get 80 before this is over.
