Good morning - Somehow the last twelve hours here are not turning out to be as much fun as one would want .First the small stuff - yesterday being it was a warm Summer type day I thought nothing would be better during the afternoon than a soft ice cream cone so I walked to the stand and was greeted by a closed sign -so much for that .Then after making the final qualifier my team mate Jeff Jewell came over to tell me we didn't judge the ladder very well as we have to race each other first round - not our best work .

Next is a biggie - the fridge in my coach shut off - do we have a Norcold tech in the house ? ?

When you're sent lemons - you make lemonaide as they say and i'm sure gonna try today.

So much for my whining this morning -- the Sun is just coming up greeting us with 63 degrees with a high of 82 this afternoon .

More a little later .........Stock round one out first .

Thanks Mike! I needed that. Bob's always tough, and that was my first round win in NHRA Stock this year. Talk about a monkey on your back! Finally got the Volare squared away, getting the fuel rail to quit leaking, and changing the shifter cable -- which was so much of a nightmare you wouldn't believe it if I told you. As Sal put it, "You were looking pretty rough yesterday morning!" No doubt! We even had some fan/water pump issues on the first run with Terry's usually trouble-free Dart Sport. But by the end of Q2, had both cars where we needed to.

Redman rode by and said we can put 'em up... S/SS are done for the day.
