Afternoon. 74 and still climbing today. I did breakfast with BiL for three hours then over to the church for some tech help with the LED sign. I think the sending unit is dead on the antenna so we have to send it in. Back home and took some scrap to the recycling place and made a whole $2.50, almost didn't cover the gas money. Going out to dinner with my two oldest brothers tonight as a ritzy place. :D :D :D

Spent the day lettering a truck & then changing some tenant names on a lighted directory sign. It kept getting colder & windier. My fingers don't like the cold. :oops: :oops: Started out in the upper 60's, calm & now it's rainin', windy & 42.4°f.
But, I got-er-done.

Morning. Good to hear from you bp. The temps dropped from 76 yesterday to 46 this morning with high winds and my garbage cans are strewn all over the place and even in the alley. We ate at the Hart Mansion last night and the food was excellent,expensive but still excellent. Sharon and I split a dessert so my sugar count wasn't too high. We all had a good time and spent several hours there eating and talking. :D :D :D

Went to Wild Horse pass Friday to see qualifying. WOW !! What performance. The air was cool & dry, the track nice & sticky. I got to see several firsts, and records set. Here's a quick recap.

Q 1 the quickest side by side FC run. Hagon & Courtney both went 3.83's, Courtney @ 332.6 mph
No wonder nhra is slowing FC's down mid season. Troy Coughlin in the Kalitta TFer ran 3.73.
Both Leah & Sarge better that running 3.70's.

Q 2 Jason Line runs 6.50 in P/S - Hight runs 3.89, Hagon goes 3.84 @ 330 mph.
Antrim runs a great 3.68 ET. For a new track record. Shortly after Leah & Sarge fire up.
Sarge lays down a stunning 3.66 but it was overshadowed by Leah's earth rotating 3.65 the quickest ever TF pass.

Yup, I feel I got my $$ worth, glad I went. Very clean race, no one touched a wall, no one crossed center line, no one took out cones, only 2 very brief oil downs. I hope Sat & Sun go as well.
