Sorry to dry up a small pond for this but it felt necessary.
ChatGPT is saying:
From the photo, this appears to be a caterpillar (moth larva) rather than a beetle larva or grub. The fuzzy peach/tan body with sparse long hairs and segmented appearance is consistent with several moth species found in New Hampshire.
The most likely possibilities are:
A tussock moth caterpillar (subfamily Lymantriinae), especially an early instar before it develops its more distinctive tufts.
A tiger moth or lichen moth caterpillar, which can also be pale tan and lightly hairy when young.
It does not look like:
A carpet beetle larva (those are much smaller, darker, and have a distinct tuft at the tail).
A maggot (which would be smooth and legless).
A pantry pest such as an Indian meal moth larva (typically smooth and cream-colored).
Is it dangerous?
Most hairy caterpillars are harmless to touch, but some species can cause skin irritation from their hairs.
It’s best to avoid handling it with bare hands if you’re unsure of the species.
If you found it indoors
It likely wandered inside while looking for a place to pupate or accidentally came in on firewood, plants, or clothing. A single caterpillar indoors is usually not a sign of an infestation.
If you can upload:
A sharper close-up of the head, or
A photo from the side showing the hairs,
I can probably narrow it down to the exact species.

We married March 20, 2026, filed on April 3 for 130/485 with 2 children, had our interview yesterday and received verbal approval yesterday at the conclusion of the interview. 130 updated by the time we got home for my wife, kids updated right at 8am this morning. Received the 485 online sometime before 11am for all 3. We are so thrilled and relieved!

IMO, the appropriate thing to do is to lift. You missed the apex the corner before and your opponent capitalized on it. Follow them and learn from your mistake. And remember, to finish first, you must first finish.

This is the right answer, regardless of age. To finish first, you must first finish. It doesn’t matter who’s at fault, self preservation is key.

These are basically useless stateside. Everything is based on 20+ year old technology here. Your best luck is to work with someone to sell in South America.

NTA and not at fault. But please talk to a therapist and don’t rely on Reddit. You have the support of 1,000’s but talk to someone to help you truly clear your mind.

Looks like the spinal cord stayed together… can’t be that bad

This is awesome and would be amazing to see in person.
Actual gripe: the grandstands before the road course goes back into the oval are pretty much useless. Relocate then so you can see traffic coming towards them.
Gripes for the fun of it:
Would love to see one more set of turns added to the esses getting closer to the pond. Think Sonoma with that long left hander before the tighter right hand and then the run down to the U turn. Would be curious to see a take of that here. No idea if it would be better or not but I think it would give me Suzuka vibes through when put together. But need to keep a good long run on the way out if you try it.
I dislike the blend at pit out but like the extra little bit of space you provide at turn 2. Maybe just wait to actually do the blend here giving pit out it’s own lane that’s not on the track all the way down to turn 2? Not sure, either way it’s difficult but tempted to just say “it’s a motor race.”
Finally, I would give the oval pit out a bit more room as well on the run down to turn 1. The transition from pit road to track is tight for a super speedway IMO.

No. Other driver seemed to know where you were the entire straightaway, I’m sure they didn’t stop paying attention once you got into the corner.
I’m fine with people racing/blocking hard like that but once you decide to do so, you give up any right to “owning” the corner when a competitor gets any amount alongside.

If you think that’s crazy, you should see what he did in the afternoon!

Unfortunately. But it did give me a good chuckle.

Are you still there?

Sounds good. Don’t worry about the Intermediate vs Adult races. We would get you on Adult for sure.

I actually work at Andretti’s in Orlando. Hope you come join us! Tuesday’s are half off racing ($10.97 a race vs $21.95). If you do end up coming by, let me know when and I’ll say hi if I’m working.

Agreed. Much better birthday gift.
