No blog for the last 7 days… tse tse… this is unacceptable! Well, here’s my update: First, I was quite busy with my car in a two-day action Ren? and I changed the old gum-like shock-absorbers („Haribo-Fahrwerk“) against new ones that have brought my Audi a little closer to the incredible ‚Gokart‘-feeling I had with my Polo. Plus, we changed the ball-bearings of the rear-axis. Well done. Nevertheless, the T?V Hessen was of a slightly different opinion about the springs and wheels of my car which delayed the ‚legalizing act‘ for another day where things finally did work out. Surprise, surprise! — What else? -Ugh, the weather got nasty! First, no rain at all. All was drying out. Then, suddenly, a little rain. Finally, since yesterday, almost permanent rain! People, I assure you this sucks bigtime! It is now mid July and all I got with respect to tan is a little in the face and on the arms. Great! I wonder if this lousy state is going to change in the remaining weeks of my summer holidays… — Ren? is moving. He is renting an appartment as from August onwards and renovating the holy chambers is currently capturing all attention. Most notably is the fact that he is equipped with a bunch of lazy holiday-people to help: Lena and Thomas, Kai and Ramona, Dennis, and myself. Wow! But there is still much left to do… — My parents are back from holidays since yesterday. Judging from their tan, the weather in Opatja/Croatia must have been outrageous, judging from their stories, the trip must have been exceptionally good. I am really happy for them for having had a fantastic and relaxing time down there. They really earned it after what happened in the last half a year. — Closing now. I will stay in Maastricht for the next two weeks – should someone be around, drop by, gimme a call or whatever…
