My niece came to stay with us for about a week. She volunteered at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix. She's a huge F1 fan but likes all racing.
She got me in on Friday. Not really my thing. Loud and crowded. Just doesn't interest me. Cars were driving around, but not actually racing I don't think. She wanted to get some autographs so we went to an extremely long line. We couldn't even see the beginning of the line and they hadn't even started to sign anything. I ended up sitting under a shade tree while she waited in line. Actually, there were two lines. They split up the drivers. Anyway, she got the autographs she wanted about 2 hours later. She got really lucky because she was the next to last person to actually meet the drivers. They all left right after she got her signatures. I think I would be pretty upset if I stood in a line for 2 hours and didn't get diddly. She got some selfies with some of the drivers too, but don't ask me who. She was pretty excited about it.
She was set to volunteer for 3 days so my wife and I decided to try to run a water line from the side of the house back to the dock. We trenched almost the entire distance (ended up being 110') on day one. We finished up digging on day 2 and put the pipe down. Glued the pvc, and soldered the copper and put it all together. Held our breath and turned the water on. SUCCESS!!! No leaks. It was truly a miracle.
I need to brace it a little better but here's the end result:
Meanwhile, my niece was working on race day and scored some cool videos. Got some good footage of Jon Bon Jovi and Brett Michaels, in addition to even more of the drivers who I don't know.
But, the big score (IMHO).....she got a selfie with David Letterman!!!! How cool is that?
Anyway, great weekend for everyone.
