Waiting on my gf to get ready and then heading out.

Who all is going this morning?

Wont be able to make it, leaving for the autocross at OSU in an hour or 2.

The parking lot is empty and wet. Someone get here before I start to misbehave...

Sounds good.

I havent had a chance to sleep yet tonight... So I think I am going to head over there in a bit. Why the hell not right? Where are we parking at these days?

Oh wow, I did not see that, I sent it along to my sister. Good to see that he is offering the support to them, seems to be more and more people pulling support lately. We really do not know yet. Given the extent of the injuries it is up in the air. Her pinky and thumb were not harmed, however her index being gone, and her ring and middle finger being patched back together from pieces of the amputated index finger make it hard to judge it. She is able to move her ring finger a little bit, but the middle finger is still pretty useless. She has a few more surgeries to do in the future and the outcome of those will really steer her course at that point. On a humorous note... She has taken great pleasure in wiggling her nub at people. She made sure to say "HEY IAN CHECK THIS OUT!" then started wiggling it at me. She thinks it is fking hilarious... haha

I just saw her yesterday for mothers day and she is doing pretty well. Not sleeping well due to the pain and the meds are messing her up pretty well. She finds it entertaining to wiggle her stub at people, so at least she is finding some humor in it all. I guess she is still having flashbacks to the incident and nightmares. Pretty common side effect of PTSD plus pain meds. She is staying tough though. I want to drag her to Cars and Coffee one of these days but between my work schedule and her inability to drive much longer than 10-15 mins (because of meds) that might not be happening any time soon. Thanks for the support all, as family it helps us all knowing there is so much support. Her and my parents have gotten pretty beat up by the "youtube keyboard warriors" but I am trying to get them to not read the comments, which is hard...

yup, and it was crazy talking to her after it happened because she remembers it so differently, which she mentions in that interview. She remembers the door opening slowly when in reality he throws it open and jumps out. She has been a cop for 5 years so she has done thousands of traffic stops, so when this happened it was one of those things that nobody, not even they expected.

To be honest when I got the phone call that she was shot this is kinda what was going through my head. I was actually at the Wings / Blue Jackets game up in detroit and got the call when I left the game. I literally zoned out for the next half an hour before I snapped back to. This kind of stuff is becoming more and more common it seems, and since a lot of officers roll one deep due to budget cuts, it is becoming easier for them to do that kind of stuff.

It was really tough to watch to be honest, having 2 siblings that are cops you always have that feeling lingering in the back of your mind that it could happen, but you dont expect it to happen to the one working in Middlefield, heart of Amish country. She actually did a radio interview the other day where I think she did a great job explaining the whole story. Long interview, but sheds light on everything.

fyi, that female cop is my sister.

about right. Crazy to be back there and remember when we would have maybe 5 people show up on a day like today

OVR posted on facebook that they had around 100 cars there... and one truck! This was the post on their page: "Thanks everyone for came and ran the fun event today!!!! We had great weather, first car was off the course at 9:44am ~ 100 cars ~ 7 runs and the truck was packed up by 4:14pm!! All thanks to everyone who participated in a fun and safe day!"

I feel as if I tried registering for it, but it was already full. Not sure if it was that one or another one. Slept through my alarm and didnt make it this morning. I need to return to normal days/hours like the rest of humanity...

Just got home from work about 30 minutes ago, I'll see if I can swing by there for a short bit before I return to work later today... @Jones, where are you doing AutoX at?

I might leave work for a little bit and show up if nothing is broken. Really dont want to be there anyways... lol

I am still stuck working on Saturdays all day. Hoping I make at least 1 before the summer is out...

I have to admit, I lol'd when the tire blew out

stuck at work, wonder if I could slip out for a bit and see if anyone notices...

I will have trouble making any of these this year unless something changes with my job since I start work at 7am on saturdays now. But considering I might be unemployed in about 3 weeks I might be able to start coming again!

Here in my dirty ass car. Better than not here at all I guess! Lol

I have returned! Again!

So lonely... I NEED A HUG!!!!!

Kinda surprised he actually lived to 34 doing all of the shit they did.
