Bob, you're only as old as you feel.

Now that is a fact right there. I raced this year and plan to next spring---not as much as when I was 30 but as much as I want to.

I spent Saturday with our youngest son Brian (42) and one of his sons' racing their "Top Fuel" quality go cart at Perris (Ca), had a blast, this thing is a faaariggin rocket! Their 2026 season is already underway, my season starts in February, and I'm all fired up ready to go!

Bob

ps: If carting is your bag, Proper Form Racing Team are the folks to contact, Robert Proper is the best in the business. (Sorry for the shameless plug).

Good evening y'all. Car is running again. Only 10-15 minutes to get heat in it and insure the leak is ok. Seems as though #7 exhaust held onto it's lash this time. Planned to run it again today, but didn't get that far before my dinner bell rang. New timing light got here today as well. Spent time in the shop organizing a few things, making room where it's needed and setting up my pops old record player so I can play the old Christmas records. Listening to a couple this evening brought back memories from Christmas's long ago in their home. Old stuff, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Sammy Davis jr, and many others. Played them 24/7 during Christmas seasons, 1970's up through their passing a few years ago.

Y'all talking about age and such, I enjoy getting around the folks who've been around longer than me. Always a good story or twelve to hear and often times learn from.

Hope you're all having a great week and staying warm out there.

Bill, just bring your walker and join in.

I have a wheelchair ready and waiting in the shop. Think we donated my brothers walker after he passed, so that may be on a wish list sometime in the near future. Think I'm gonna head out to the shop and fire up pops Christmas tunes for a bit, sit & stare at the car... Have a great evening y'all.

OK while daughter was here we got the limbs all picked up in the yard and installed 4 new lights in the big part of the garage. Cut down that 60s era satilite dish in the back yard. Installed a new faucet in the motor home shower and got everything in there prepared for the cold coming. Went to Lowes and got a new ( what I call) a senior commode for the back bathroom. Dropped the F150 off to get serviced. Took her back to the airport then I was in Durham till last night. Plan is to install the commode today. 28 this morning. Everyone stay safe.

Fn.
If you are talking about taller commodes' I have 3 bathrooms and I put them in each. Easier on the old knees. LOL

thats right Floyd

Season Greetings fellow DRR members!

December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day. And.....Ralph Flint's birthday.

Bob

My son is a Pearl Harbor baby.
It’s a good reminder of history.
Happy Holidays to all DRR folks.

Guess we need a bump here. Not much happening. My F150 is driving me to the poor house $900 for tires and $700 to get it serviced yesterday. Cold this morning and damp, just lousy weather here in NC. BUT, life is good and everyone be safe.

Around here we have a neighbor that is famous for it's Christmas lights. It's called Thorobred Lane. The residents go all out on Christmas decoration's. It's been on You tube. My daughter
.Woody and I went Sunday evening. It was awesome.
My buddy Brian McClanahan goes all out every year. I wish I could post the video.

Check 34th st in Baltimore. Both sides of the street.

Happy Tuesday y'all. Hope everyone's doing well and staying warm. Super cold here in SE NC, yet my yankee friends are still in shorts, laughing at us all bundled up like winter is here. LOL... Wife's doing her Christmas decorating, I'm staying outta her way. Pretty sure the hotrod is ready for a run or two so I'm just messing around in the shop trying to reorganize some things in a more sensible manner. Talking about the Christmas lights, we have a handful of nice places here to take the granddaughter. I'm trying to talk myself into taking everyone to Charlotte Motor Speedway for theirs. I saw it hyped as the largest drive through light show, in either NC or the entire US, can't remember which. It's a 4'ish hour ride, so I have to consider, me with 3 adult females and one little toddler chick in one car. Might be a tough ride for this dude. LOL.

Y'all have a great week.

Yeah Bill,
You might need a pee jar, LOL

Fern,
Bothe sides of Throbbed and 2 other streets.

Floyd, I may need to be medicated after... The estrogen of 2 thirty something daughters, the noise of an almost 4 year old that enjoys singing along with whatever's playing and the wifes meano-pause may drive me to drinking again. LOL... I do encourage the young'n singing, but she's as tone deaf as I am, so multiple hours of it may not be so good....
