今日はフォンタナでフェラーリチャレンジの初日。朝６時に起きてシャワーを浴びてピットの散歩に行ってから、サーキットに出発。およそ５０分で到着。今日はメチャ忙しいスケジュールで１時間近いセッションが４回もありました！自分がコーチしたドライバーも一日で１．５秒アップして、トップ１０入り！！明日の予選と第一レースが楽しみです！！ではでは、明日も早起きなのでこれからお風呂に入って早めに寝ます。

It was the first day at Fontana for the Ferrari Challenge week end. I got up at 6am and hopped in to the shower and took Pit for a walk. I got a cup of coffee and headed to Fontana. Luckily, I didn't have to go through any traffic so I was there in 50min. It was a really hectic schedule today with almost 4 1hr sessions. I was able to help my driver improve 1.5sec and he broke in to top 10. It should be a fun race tomorrow to see and I hope he can get a top 5 finish. Well...since I have to get up early again tomorrow...I will have dinner and hit the bed soon.

今日は午前中に家でお仕事。午後はフォンタナに行き、今週末のお仕事に向けて下見＆レジストレーション。今週末はフェラーリチャレンジのお仕事で、ソノマでもコーチしたドライバーのコーチをします。しか～し、フォンタナのロードコースは走った事がないので、はたしてどうなることやら～！？！そんなこんなのあっという間の一日でした。日本もめちゃ暑いみたいですが、フォンタナもすっごく暑くなりそうです・・・。

As usual...got up in the morning and did some work before I headed to Fonatana. I went there to check out the track as well as got all the registration done for this week end. I will be working with a driver who I helped at Sonoma during the Ferrari Challenge races. Although it is my first time here coaching for the Fontana Road Course....I'm sure we will have a good week end. I just wished if I can take some laps in those F430 Challenge cars since they are really wicked!! Well...it's going to be another very hot week end.

今日はピットが少し臭くなってきたので、グルーマーに洗ってもらいました。しっかり奇麗になり、いい匂いがするのですが、本人は自分の匂いがなくなってしまって少しブル～みたいです！？！（笑）朝一にケーブル会社の人がきて、チューナーも変えてもらいベッドルームのテレビもしっかり映るようになりました！！幸先の良いスタートがきれ良い一日になりそう！？！

Got up in the morning and immediately called the groomer to pick Pit up for a wash. He really needed one badly and he came home nice and clean. I suppose he doesn't like getting puffed up since his odor goes away...and I think that's all important for the "Dog's World"!?! We also got the cable box fixed and it seemed to be a good start to the day!!

午前中はジムでトレーニング。昼過ぎに妻が産後ダイエットを始めると言いジムに行く事になったので子供のお守り。子供を遊ばせながらゴルフチャンネルを見て、部屋の中でかるく素振りの様なスィングをしたら、子供が大爆笑！！笑ってくれたのは嬉しいのだが、ゴルフのスィングに笑われてるみたいでなんだか微妙な気分。自分のスィングが今日のツボちゃんみたいで、ず～っと大爆笑！！あまりにも笑われすぎてなんだか悔しい一日・・・！？！

Went to the gym in the morning and worked out really hard. Came home...and my wife apparently is on diet and she too wanted to go the gym so I had to baby sit all afternoon which was not bad at all since my baby boy was really good. I was whatching Golf Channel and started to do some pratice swing in the room. That's when my baby started to laugh out loud!! I was happy to see hime laughing, but it sure seemed like he was making fun of my swing!! Well...I guess I will let him laugh on my swing but he won't be laughing at my driving skills!?!

昨晩からどうやらベッドルームのケーブルテレビのチューナーがおかしい・・・。リビングのテレビは問題なく見れるのですが、ベッドルームはお昼から映らなくなりとうとう頭にきて夜にケーブル会社に苦情の電話！電話をすると“あ～それはチューナーを変えないといけませんね～・・・”との事で水曜日にきてもらう事になりました。が、頭にくるのがアポの予約が取れた瞬間にいきなり、ケーブルテレビのパッケージの売り込みやハイスピードインターネットとのパッケージの売り込み！？！自分もついに半切れ状態で“新しいもんの売り込みする前に、既に使用してる商品のクォリティーを上げろと”と激怒。以前からも、ちょくちょく画面が途切れたり、テレビ番組の内容が気になる時に切れたりする事がしょっちゅうあったので、ついに爆発してしまいしました。クレームをつけはじめたら、メッチャ電話を急いで切ろうとしている所もなんだか気に入らん・・・！？！

For some reason...my TV cable box in the bedroom is having some technical problems. Eversince Comcast and Timer Waner Cable has merged, the reception of the TV has been really crappy and I was always on the verge on getting on the phone with them to complain because we will always miss the most important part of the TV show. Therefore, I called in to Time Warner Cable to see if they can reset the box. Unfortunately that didn't work and they will be sending out a technician to my house. However, after we were done with booking the apointment, they started to sell me more service of TV package and High Speed Internet. That's when I really lost my temper and obviously had to tell them that "You guys should improve your quality of the service before trying to sell another product"!! I mean it really doesn't make any sense if you think about it because who the hell in this world would like to get more service from them if you are just calling in about the trouble you have with them already!! Once I started to go off on them...they were off the phone in a hurry!!

電話を切った後に寝るちょいまえに“もしかしたら”、と思い半信半疑でテレビをつけたら、“よっしゃ～ついた”！！ってハッピーな気分。文句は言ってみるもんだなと思いきや、何時も見ているチャンネルに変えたらまたテレビが映らずじまい・・・。テレビも見れず、なんだか不服な思いで寝る事にしました。朝起きてもまだ映らないのでなんだか今日もブル～な一日でした。

Well...I got off the phone and just wanted to try one more time to see if the TV will work. Than BOOM...the service was back on!! For a slight moment, I had a sign of glory only until I switched to another channel and the service was again shut down. Well so much for TV, I went to be really frustrated. Than I got up this AM, and with no suprise switched the TV on again. Yep...didn't work and was not a happy camper all day today!?!

今日は日曜日。昨日は早めに寝てしまったので、朝早くから目が覚めてしまい、最近は早起きの息子と布団の上でお遊び。午前中はごろごろしながらミシガンのレースを見ようと思ったら、雨でDelay・・・。ことしのIRLのレースは天候にやられっぱなしですね～。仕方ないのでお昼からNASCAR Poconoでのレースを観戦しながらLAで行われてるX GameをTV観戦。ミシガンでは雨が止んでレース開始と思いきや、TVの放映時間の枠をこえてしまってテレビでは観戦できず・・・。しかたないので　PCでライブタイミング観戦。ん～ESPN,ESPN2,ABCの何処でも放映されないのは完全にIRLは後回しになってますね・・・。今も観戦中ですが、レース内容はひっちゃかめっちゃかになってるみたいですね。ある意味きになる～！？！ではでは、これから残り５０周！！現在コウスケが２位～～！！ん～アメリカのレースも日本で盛り上げる為にも頑張ってもらいましょう！！！

Since it was a Sunday...I was going to sleep in....but like an old man, I was up by 7:30am. Since I had nothing to do, I played with my baby all morning and was going to whatch the IRL race from Michigan but it was delayed due to rain. I waited until lunch time to see the NASCAR race from Pocono while I flipped the channel to see the X Games from Home Depot Center. While all that was going on, it cleared up in Michigan and race has started. Unfortunately, I was not able to see the race because it wasn't on ESPN,ESPN 2, nor ABC. Therefore I had no choice other than to see the race on live timing through my PC. I guess it's another crash fest...but it will be interesting to see who will win the race now since there is 50laps to go!! My buddy Kousuke is running 2nd right now so I guess I will be cheering for him!!
