Nick it hasn't been too bad. Cold but overall dry. Now this weekend is another story. Cold and wet with a chance of snow. I would rather be goofing off like Brian and be heading to the PRI show.

BP758I saw that! Cool!! It’s nice to put a face to a name. Did that in Vegas. Met Chris -AKA ( Torkin) and the Rad boys. Great group of folks and racers there.
BTW, working with Rick Santos so a compressor could be down the road.

"The Bender"Next time you talk to Rick, mention my brother to him, Ralph "Doc" Bednar, he used to hang with them in the late 80's early 90's.

Very sorry to hear that Brian. May he Rest In Peace.
FYI
Rick built his dads first Dragster. Just about finished. Rick, Jeff and Dave do a he ll of a job there. Moe, pretty sure those engines are still there on stands. George was a HP Wizard. Very sharp guy.

"The Bender"Thanks Barry. He had been suffering from dementia for 6 years. The last 6 months he was pretty much gone already. Not a fun thing to go through for him or us. I'm relieved he is no longer suffering. Nasty disease.....
