Clean up the garage, Mow the yard, Pick up leaves in the back, Colorado needs a bath, Colorado needs to go to the shop, Need to put the center caps back on the HD(been off since tires went on), fire the floater off, and whatever ells I'm forgetting that needs to be done

No kidding. Most of the list I have been putting off due to weather being cold on the last few weekends or something going on. If I don't get it done there is always next weekend.

Saturday got the center caps on the HD then went around and did weed and grass control, also did a little clean up in the garage. Sunday Mowed the yard but left most of the leaves in the back as there are still half of them still in the tree and don't feel like cleaning them up twice. Plus my Blower/Mulcher has died. Also had to unclog the bathroom drain. (I Hate Doing That) Have the Colorado scheduled to go into the dealer Tuesday morning.
Saturday in the mail I get a Jury Summons for Maricopa Grand Jury for Feb 11. This should be fun, NOT!!!
No Idea what I will do today or after I get home Tuesday dropping off the colorado.

The thing says I could be there twice a week for four months. Would be interesting to be on a case, but I don't know how work would handle it. I have inquired but have yet to get an answer.

Good luck. Hopefully all goes well.
Wednesday night the refrigerator took a dump. The controller for the air coming from the freezer stopped working. Got the part this afternoon. Got it installed and all is happy now. It was so jacked up the fridge would not shut off. So I would manually turn it off and back on. Still froze stuff in the fridge side.

Thanks so do I, don't need to this more than once.
That sucks when they take a dump, been thinking about our stuff it's going on ten years now, all still works good but now you start to wonder when they are going to take a dump.

SO far so good. Did have to make an adjustment to cool the refridge a little more. But all in all doing good.
Weekend is looking good for some racing . If the car will run the number, He may go run Super Comp at an 8.90 index and see if he can potty some long cars off. Ran a 9.12 down in Tucson so we are thinking a good chance to run sub 8.90's here at Wildhorse with just one more minor adjustment to the rear shocks.

Been a crazy busy week. It's just about done with. Got to log in early to cover the NOC AGAIN Friday and Monday I'm so tired of getting pulled in 10 different directions. Get this truck paid off and start crunching numbers again and see if retirement can commence

Yee Haw what a fun weekend. Saturday. Decided to go and see how the long cars like a door car in their Super Comp class at an 8:90 index. He goes to the guy running the SUpper Comp program and says "you guys let an old fart in a little door car run your program". The guy says " we encourage it" Entry was paid. Out of the trailer ran a 8:97 first round of qualifying. Second round roll up to the lanes and no one would run the door car. Still an 8:97. First round of Eliminations get paired up, Buddy goes to the driver, as he normally does, and wish's him good luck and a safe run. The dude just grunts at him Now granted it ran another 8:97 with an .044 light. The dragster treed a .022. Dragster nipped him at the light with a .05 margin of victory. Now that we had a good laugh for the day we had time to just kick it and enjoy the rest of the day. Sunday ran an 1/8 mile gambler style run. Car was on kill!!!. We already had an idea the car was going to be dialed a 5:67. After two 5:67 passes for qualifying he put a 5:66 on the car. Won First round, Won second round lifting and ran a 5:67, Redialed to a 5:65 just in case and went to the winner circle running a 5:66. He can't be any happier with the car. Big joke all weekend was we wish we could make it more consistent. Every pass this weekend it was on 1:22 60 ft times, nothing slower. Best it has ever done. Looking forward to the Hangovers at the end of February in tucson

There is no better day than being at the races. I don't care what's running. It's always good to see all the people that I have made friends with over the years and see how they are doing on and off the track. Also seeing new hardware and new faces. Had a jet car that made a couple passes Saturday. Didn't see it run but heard it.
