Wordle 1,480 3/6. ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟨.⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. It is with a sense of great trepidation that I attempt to explain to whatshisname, the engineer one, that I thought he said ‘let the competition by,’ and not ‘don’t let the competition by.’ I mean it’s only a loss of one place!.

Wordle 1,479 4/6. ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜.⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩.🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. A most curious race; the result certainly put a strut in my step, though, sadly, no trophy in my hand.

Must say, m’colleague @MrDavidHobbs was all over this story. Admittedly, this particular pre-race storyline did take fifteen years to pay off, but that’s an example of true faith for you, right there. Well played Hobbo!.

Many years ago, I recall Ross Brawn telling me this; said I had a way of calming drivers when they were not having a good day. As every driver I worked with was perpetually irked by Michael’s pace, I was given considerable opportunity to practice my improving counseling skills.

This audiobook will change your life. I’ve even heard reports that hardbitten grand prix drivers have learned a thing or two from this book, listening to it while soaking in an ice bath in their team’s tire storage bay. That sort of thing happens very frequently in F1 by the way.

Wordle 1,477 6/6. ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨.⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜.🟨🟩⬜🟩🟨.🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩.⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. I was so crammed and cramped inside that stoopid car of theirs, it felt like something had wrapped me in ropes and squeezed the air out of me. Certainly, I did not feel like a well oiled machine.

Wordle 1,476 4/6. ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩.⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩.⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. I can’t get the hang of these things. I shared this with old thingy, the mechanic one, and he suggested I give drag racing a go. Mind you, he warned, I’d still need to get off the line without stalling, so maybe not.

Happy Independence Day!. [Flown aboard LCI(L) 488, Easy Red sector, Omaha beach.]

Wordle 1,475 4/6. ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. Something smells; the engine seemed plagued with small misfires from lap one.

Wordle 1,474 2/6. ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. See you tomorrow.

Charlotte NC. July. Awake. Walk outside. Immediately, I mean *immediately* start dripping. Stagger back inside. Watch the world through windows, full of pensive thoughts of how past folks ever lived here without air conditioning. Await next massive thunderstorm. Go to bed.

Wordle 1,473 4/6. ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. Looking at those opening laps, I can’t but feel today’s strategy proved more than a tad stale.

Open mic. Read book.

RT @HorrorHammer1: Deleted scene from the movie Jaws. (1975) 🤣

Wordle 1,472 3/6. ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜.⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. I asked old thingy, the mechanic one, not to ask about lap two. Honestly, you take your eyes off the ball for a split nanosecond, and something stoopid happens. It’s exactly like those folks who attempt Wordle without coffee.

Yes, an emotional win for the team, no question, and quite the personal moment too: the first time a Matchett prepared car secured a Formula 1 victory. Anything is possible providing one is prepared to give everything (and then some) in order to make it happen. There is no try.

Too hot: vapor lock. Too cold: won’t crank. Too wet: spark cuts. Too dry: filter clogs. Too high: mixture out. Too low: floods. Still remains one of the most fascinating machines/designs I’ve nursed back to full health.

Wordle 1,471 3/6. ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜.⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. I tried to make light of the loss of second place by amusingly blaming the car’s lack of traction, its lack of power, its unstable braking. Old thingy, the mechanic one, assured me I’m naturally gifted with the comedic arts.

What Ruth said.

Wordle 1,470 4/6. 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜.🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩.🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. This race really tried hard to confuse me. Its efforts paid off too, I had no idea what was happening. I mean, yes, sure, I could have listened to whatshisname, the engineer one, but what would he know about anything?.
