Lettered a couple water trucks today. Well almost, one had a gouge in the side of the tank so they want to repaint it before I letter it. Got a call from them tonight, They have another water truck that has to go out at noon tomorrow & could I letter it in the morning? That will be #7 for the month. That's a lot of water. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yesterday putting up signs at the truck parking lot, I could here what sounded like racing going on not far away. I knew The Autbhan was nearby but never knew exactly where it was. Turns out I was right across the road from the place separated by a line of trees. :idea: Learn something everyday.

Morning folkz. Up to 82 today with rain in the forecast for later tonight. Off to the Dr. for a shot then over to get the oil changed in the Mercruiser. Yesterday I fixed the landscaping lights main wire that I severed while transplanting some flowers earlier in the year. The spare tire cover in the Merc kept falling off so I took a bungee cord and anchored it for life. She'sa no gonna move now Guido.

Well BP I didn't want you to feel like the lone ranger so I made a trip to the ER this morning too. :oops:
I was lettering another water truck, just about done and was picking up paper because the doors were open & the paper from the vinyl was blowing around in the shop. I went after a moving piece of paper, watching the paper & not where I was walking. I stubbed my left toe on a short stack of angle Iron. Trying to catch myself with my right leg I slipped on the smooth concrete & hyperextended my right leg. (same one that has fluid on the knee) :oops: :oops: Good news they were able to x-ray both at the same time to find nothing broken, just stretched & the knee is just an old guy with Arthur Ides. You know Uncle Arthur Ides?
Just took some chemicals, so I expect to be in less pain shortly.
Got a sprained left toe & right wrist go compliment the hamstring. When I do something I do it right. :oops: :oops:

Sure felt weird, I almost went down a second time because the my leg wasn't operating like my brain said it was. That has sorts' gone away now.

I told the nurse about the two times I've done this in the past to the same leg. She turned to Cheryl and said, make him STOP. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for thinkin about me bro, but Zappy don't do corners. Now that long straight away looks good. But I'm a sprinter - not a distance runner.
1/4 - 1/8 - 1,000ft - 300ft - 2 wide - 4 wide - from golf carts to dragsters - front motor or rear, no matter, I'M yer guy.
But I'm no good at corners.

Hi ho group!! Just a FYI to those coming to the Funny Car Nats at Quaker this weekend. I have decided "NOT" to take the car up this weekend. Instead we will be crewing for Rocky.

Planning on heading up Saturday morning with the trailer and then stay the night forSundays event. Not sure where we will be exactly but it will be in the Funny Car pits. Which, this year, is on the west side/tower side of the track. We figured anyone coming could use our pit spot/trailer for a gathering spot. We'll call it the "Draglister Northcoast Nationals" VIP headquarters. :wink: Anyways, anyone coming is welcome to hang at our trailer.
A very generous & kind offer, thank you. I will bring our lawn chairs to the " D & H trailer, Draglister VIP Headquarters ".
Safe travel to all, see ya Sat & Sunday.

Gorilli, you are correct sir, the FC' show IS SUNDAY. (other than any test hits). The Bunny vs the other girl is Sat night.

Okay, I can bring a walker and a cane and I may be able to scrounge up a wheelchair.
Daryl can bring a golf cart but not big enough for all of us at once.
That will take care of the Funny Car Nats.

We may have to look into renting an armada of golf carts or mobility scooters for Bowling Green if the attrition rate of old bodies keeps up at this pace. I'm the old guy here and I think I am okay????? You youngins' are falling apart. :D
