Clam Chowder, NASCAR, and Air Show!

Had been real lazy keeping up with the blogs lately..., but not being too lazy with life though... for example, my goal of learning to cook my favorite American soups from scratch is now complete! After chicken soup, my clam chowder is pretty good! I surprise even myself! ;)

And for the first time in my life, I've attended a NASCAR race. I didn't really like NASCAR all that much, but hey, with free tickets, I'm there! I like fast and loud machines! Whenever they restart the race after some sort of accident... when all the cars going full throttle passing us with thunderous sound: 'zoom, zoom, zomm...' What an awesome feeling. But wife's ear drums were probably close to being popped even with ear plugs! ;)

Speaking of loud and speedy machines, we also went to the annual airshow at Edwards Air Force Base. Here's a simulated attach from the Japanese! ;)

Here's a picture with America's newest fighter, F-35. It's so new that it's not really flying in service yet! ;)

The most exciting part of the show has to be the next-newest fighter, F-22:

Anyway, watching these things are fun, but I think I enjoy doing things more than just being a spectator watching things... Just found out in a recent personality test that I'm a 'craftsman'. So I guess it all makes sense. I'm also continuing on my projects too... To build another stuff animal kitty cat for wife... to build an automatic feeder for our cat... and to continue to build myself to become a better husband too... So many ongoing projects, so much fun... hey, gotta live my life to the full, right? ;)
