Bad News: Brakes failed on the way home ... pedal all the way to the floor, needed the emergency brake.

Good News: They failed just as I was pulling in my driveway !!

That was a harder 2.5 hour break than Knight's Ferry, and I hit 0.91 IF at Knight's. I guess as close to IP=1 as is possible for 2.5 hours. What would that be, like 0.97? Gonna have to estimate TSS for a while.

Huh. There are plenty of racers who want to do stuff. Nice opportunity for a spring series in N Jersey, lower Hudson Valley, or fancy CT.

It's another thing when it's questionable if he has any self awareness. Well he does, at times, that's obvious because he knows who I am, but there are significant periods of time where he either doesn't or he's lost in his own thoughts. My mom spent her last weeks enveloped in a non-responsive state, significantly worse than my dad right now, but in the concept of "no sense of self" it was 100% for my mom. I said to the Missus that this is where people start talking about the soul and stuff. Chemically, biologically, my dad (and my mom) were there, existing, processing, cell splitting, all that stuff. But as people? Not so much.

I had a senior moment the other day. It was pretty significant actually. I totally and completely could not remember where the dishes were in our cabinets. I could remember where they were in my dad's house (which is where I grew up). But in our own house, no. I guess I had a weird look on my face or maybe I said something, I don't know. The Missus looked really worried and asked what was wrong. I played it off and just opened the cabinet in front of me and the dishes happened to be there. The thing that was weird was that the dishes location simply ceased to exist in my mind. The way I didn't know was completely different than any previous time I've forgotten something.
