My first time experiencing drifting. Rode along in a Nissan 350Z drift car at Apple Valley Speedway. My experience is in autocross and road racing/hot lapping and drifting is very different. Feeling the lateral Gs in different ways made me feel like I was gonna go off course! Thanks @denniscaco for the invitation! #applevalleyspeedway #drifting #350z #nissan @applevalleyspeedway
Unprofessional driver on an open freeway. Please drive safely with both hands on the steering wheel and eyes looking ahead. #honda #civic #hondacivic #eh9 #cars
“Goat rodeo” is a slang term for a chaotic, disastrous situation requiring everything to go right just to survive. If it’s “not your goat rodeo,” you are stepping back from the mess and leaving it to someone else to manage. #goat #goatrodeo #goats

I first watched Top Gun in 1986 at this beautiful plaza mall when there was a Mann Theatres. Watched it again at the same mall (now AMC Theatres) in 2011 and 2016. Had to get seat F14 for when I watch it next week for the 40th anniversary. Music is from the Top Gun Nintendo Entertainment System game. #topgun @topgunmovie #f14 #f14tomcat #tomcruise #nes
Mandatory online training at work. I used to be able to skip to the end quiz and get everything right without having to spend an hour watching the whole training video. They changed it so you can’t skip ahead. Grateful to be employed though! #deathbypowerpoint #powerpointpoisoning “Death by PowerPoint” refers to an agonizingly boring, unengaging presentation, characterized by over-reliance on bullet points, small text, and excessive, confusing slides, often resulting in complete audience disengagement.
