Hey Bob,hope all goes well for ya,while taking your treatments,we are all praying for you,hospital food stinks,but whenever I'm in there,I try and think of it as,I'm at the Lonestar Steakhouse,eating a rib-eye,sometimes it ain't real easy,but it makes the hours pass.......... ................
Good Luck and God Bless you bud...........................................

Mornin Y'all!
We got a little rain during the night, hope it's over. Got to get my welding done on the trailer.
Bob, maybe it's time to start that diet.
Y'all have a gooden!

Morning! Had a busy week, mixed emotions. Thinking of Nikki! So sad to hear another great racer is in Heaven now, but I know Drake is with good company!

Sun is starting shine! Going to the practice tree race today to see good friends. Might even sneak the car to get washed too!! Just don't tell Mark he would be out washing all the cars today in the driveway and I wasn't allowed to take mine through the grinder as he would call it, but I'm sure he won't mind!

Michelle, thinking about you and go gettem'!! Give the kids and Hot Legs a huge hug for me!!

Chuck, I will see you later!!

Floyd and Guy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your encouraging words! They mean a lot to me!

Mike, my Angel here on Earth!! Sending hugs to you and yours!!

Well, I gotta keep moving! I can't say things are a little easier, but with the love and support from everyone, I can keep moving!

Have a wonderful day! Enjoy the sun! Praying for all going through their battles and sending strength!

It's a great day for some ICE CREAM!!!

Christine, good to hear from you.
You have some fun and don't forget the spray wax and tire treatment. Give the old jalopy the works.

I was born to race, not spectate!! Went down to the track today to spectate and totaly disliked it! First, got down there about 8 a.m. and Super Street made their final time run and then Super Gas started running and deep into the class it started sprinkling around 9:00-9:30 a.m. so they stopped racing so walked around the vendors aisles and staying out of ther rain but still on my feet and the breeze was cool for an AZ native even though I had a cap and coat on! (Maybe I shoulda worn pants and wouldn't have got so cold but forgot to put them on this mornin' ) Then sat and ate my Philly Cheese sandwich (without the cheese) with my nephew and his two boys up on the grandstands. Decided to do a little walking around and found the handicap area and they had folding chairs there so sat there and almost fell asleep a few times as one of the Pro's oiled down the track and that took a good hour to clean up and when the Pro Stocker went on his lid this afternoon I decided to head home. I guess they got Super Gas run and then it started raining again so they shut down for the day! Supposed to rain again tomorrow and Monday fromt what the "boob tube" boys say so it may take a few days to finish this event! I am gonna stay home close to laptop and the kitchen so I can fix my own food the way I like it and I don't have to walk a lot! Can walk out and look at my race car in the trailer if I wanta lok at a race car! At least when I race I can set in my pickup, in my trailer or on my golf cart but none of that was available today and damned if I will pay $270 to race a National event even if it is in my "back door"! If folks wanta see my car they can watch for the re-runs on Pass Time or the re-runs of "Wife-Swap" where there was a view of my car going down the track or they can see it on the opening page of Crew Chief Pro 7 or on Alta Lab weather station's web site!

So you're sayin you didn't have a good time?

Morning everyone.
Raining pretty good here today.
Y'all have a good one.
See ya.

Good Morning All,sunshining prutty here,going out and play in the mud a while..............

Ya'll have a gooden and praying for all our friends that are in need,and maybe we'll see ya'll afterwhile............................

Most enjoyable time I had was visiting with friends I don't get to see that often, some of them who's names I can't even remember--I chalk that up to gettin' too much sleep since I last saw 'em--and lookin' at the expression on that woman's face when I ordered a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with "no cheese"! I was waitin' on her to ask me if I was "stupid" as I had an answer already for her: "No, I'm just old and don't want the cheese blockin' my bowels!" Looks like, this mornin', if they are gonna race today they are gonna have to dig out the "rain tires" cause it doesn't appear it is gonna let up today and they are calling for it to continue into Monday! So if they run it Tuesday that will give those running the Divisional at Firebird a couple of days to catch their breath and dig ditches to drain their pits for those guy's down in the "bowl"!
The stands yesterday were no where as near "packed" as they have been in the past and it appeared that vendors had enough awnings out to keep everyone from getting soaked best I could tell! Looks like we have had .4-.5 inch of rain thus far the past two days, just enough to make it miserable for drag racers! Especially those that paid $40 to $50 to watch and those racers that paid $270+ just to enter! Misery knows company, right? To some it is just a "cost of doing business" but to folks like me, on a fixed income, its food on the table, gas in the car,toilet paper on the roll etc.! They have prices to high to watch, food to expensive to eat and drinks to much to drink and then just dump in the porta-johns a bit later! Well, as they say: "That's racin'!" -sunshine-

Guy, why don't you get a mess of them Los Dos tamales and take them back out there to sell to the racers. Ya oughta be able to make a couple of bucks for some toilet paper.
Seriously, it's a damn shame momma nature wants to rain on our parade.

I would have Floyd but don't think my legs would stand another day of walking like I did yesteday! My shins even hurt today!. Gonna take Mike McBrair there next Thursday evenin'! (hot)

Mornin all....lets go chop, chop Manic Monday is back by popular demand

BB have a good day

Morning everybody.
It's time to start another freakin work week.
Y'all have a good one.
See ya later.

Good Morning Ya'll,kinda a sad morning thinking about the lady that got killed at Firebird yesterday,freak accident,and I noticed it said her husband,who was handicap,was injured too,so sad,thoughts and prayers to this family................ .......................................................

And so sad about the young racer that passed away last week,Drake was his name,to young,our heart goes out to family and friends of Drake,God Bless them all.................................. ..............................

And Bob J seen where he had started his chemo,bless your heart Bob,we are all praying for you,and love ya........... .........................................

Well ya'll have a gooden and prayers out to in need and may God Bless and keep you all in the palm of his hand this day.......................................

Hey Chuck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope all went well this weekend Michelle,and hoping you all are home safe............................. .................................

MaB you take it easy now,and don't overload the circuits,you know what I mean, ................................. .........................................

Hang in there folks,things are looking up.............................................................

Still distraught about the loss of life at Firebird yesterday and whether it could have been avoided. I have concerns that perhaps, because of the pressure to get the cars back to the line quickly, some safety measures such as checking the torque of the lugs nuts following air ratching the nuts on may not have been done!
Rest in Peace my friend, who ever you are!

Mornin' all! I'm with you Mouse, another freaking work week. Started my day by forgetting my wallet, had to go back home and get it, missed 2 buses. I had left it in the cooler, which I had emptied of water and used to haul stuff up from the car to free up my hands, but still had a little water in it, and soaked it some.

It was a good weekend, hope yours was too. The sun was out Saturday, and we had an awesome turnout for our practice tree race. We were able to put the proceeds from the 50-50 raffle, a B&M shifter raffle, and donations to give a donation to Nikki's memorial playground, and to the family of Drake Simmons. Drag racers are the best people.

Christine, you sneak! "Oh I'm no good on the bottom, I'm top bulb!" You just ran into tough draws. She was steady in the teens, y'all, but ran into guys dropping double O's. I hope you had a good time.

Michelle sent me a text Saturday night, she went 8.89 at 181 in Super Comp at Gainesville. I didn't get a chance to see how she fared after that.

BobJ, glad you're hanging in there.

I was in the garage all day yesterday, making progress on the quarter panel. I got a text from a friend about the fan being killed in AZ. That's such a shame, and I didn't know her husband was injured also. That's the last thing I'd think could happen, when I'm out enjoying my day, that it could be my last. Thoughts and prayers for her family and friends.

Hey Mike!

Morning! Sending prayers to the families who lost their loved one in the terrible accident!

It's Monday, still making phone calls, finishing up paperwork for the shop. Getting ready to sell the 68 Mustang and the Gold Wing! Hurry up Spring!!

Saturday was a nice day! Had fun at the practice tree race! Sorry Chuck! Heck I surprised myself! Food was great, but the seeing some of the racers was great too! Even met a few new ones too! Now, my kids are on me hard to race this year, but we shall see!

Michelle, I hope you did real well! You're on fire girl!!

Floyd and Guy, you always make my day! Guy, we have to get Floyd on FB too!!

Mike, hope your Mom is doing well, Mannie too! Don't know when I will be flying over your house just yet!

Bob, sending strength and comfort to you!!

Okay, have a great day! It's warm but more nasty stuff coming this week!!

Sening big hugs!! Missing -53-
