So by the time Larry changed the tire and then we stopped in Springfield, MO and bought 2 more (just in case), we lost a couple of hours today.

Hopefully tomorrow will go better and I will get some shots at the racetrack for you.

Oh, we passed a little convenience store that it looks like Bo Kenney might own. It was called the "Kum and Go"!

Damn, that looks like Paul Bunyan changing a tire! I would need a forklift to do that! Big Guy! Big Truck! LOL
