Woke up about 40 minutes ago.
House/neighborhood was QUIET!
Coffee pot timer was, roughly, 7:25 "just getting light outside".
Washed the dishes.
Figured I do breakfast before everyone turned out and Sunday guests' arrive.
Cooked 40 pancakes -fluffy-, big plate of scrambles -10 eggs-, 6 eggs sunny side up,
one pound of bacon, one pound of "HOT" sausage, pot of oatmeal, and prepped
half a loaf of bread for oven/cinnamon toast. Washed dishes...again.
My son Zack rambles into the kitchen and asks ... the, obvious to anyone else, question ...
Why you cookin' breakfast at 8 PM?
ERK!
I guess tomorrow:
I'll wash/wax 'Pattycakes' the Wunder-Weissach, clean the K&N, wipe down under the hood , change all wiper blades and check the Tranny oil level.
Then watch the Steelers kick some Cowboy butt.
Speaking of Gerbils /hamsters...
My friend Rusty and I bought some property 'behind' the Hearst Castle, hired some midget Gaucho's out of Argentina to ride herd, bought some Longhorn bull gerbils for breeding stock and will open;
The Golden Valley Vista, Ocean View, Brown Dirt Cowboy, Bhutt Pirate Dude Ranch by 2011.
Depending, of course, on the economy at that time. Closet Privacy BUNGalows available.
There will be a "High End" Town square mall made completely of 'wood'. And a 'full service' Gerbil Tack room and Turkish Bath Complex as well.
Jeez...
As for tonite, anyone want some breakfast?

A little hair coloring, maybe a little styling gel, pluck the eyebrows and shave under the arms... You can make a rat look amazingly like one of those exotic imported gerbils. Easier to find food for the rat too.
Thought you'd like ta know!!

Other than the new blown disc between my shoulders, a fractured vertebra a few levels down and a nagging pinched nerve in my neck....just fine! I'm not getting an MRI ever again, too much bad news. But, I'm used to it and I've got good drugs.
It's been winter out here the last few days, with a fair amount of rain. But, at least it didn't rain last weekend when I was at Willow Springs. That's a fun track, and it felt good to get Ruby out doing some laps again. I'm hoping to get back up there again 1/24-25 for a POC event. All predicated on me getting my new wheels shipped soon, so I can mount my tires. My old tires finally got a little skittish at the end of the last session. I think they're used up.

I got the 2 pictures you took of Willow and think you neglected to give us some actual video that you were on the track.. You are slacking my friend.
Give me a call when you get the chance, I never know when you will be in Australia or Italy.

Mostly pre-existing crap, but the fractured disc may've happened a few weeks ago when I slipped down the stairs. I gotta wake up before I take Charlie downstairs to pee in the middle of the night.
I don't have any video, but here's the rig....the track photog took some pics, but I wasn't too impressed. BTW, it's nice trailering the car up. I can load as many tools in the truck as I want to take. All in all, its probably quicker to load the car on the trailer, than it was to pack all the crap in the car to drive it to a track.

Ruby is looking good buddy. You need to take care of yourself my friend.
Ang just called me from the car just challenged me to a track event. Said if I get ahead of her (I have more HP she says) she'll wreck me. I swear, we need to get her and hers on a track, she talks a lot of smack.
**********oh damn******she just got home and shut the damn garage door on her bumper. I suppose 2 years of ownership and this is the 1st scratch she's put on it is not bad.......but damn.
She's pissed, scratch is only on the bumper, should buff out.

Sounds like you need to get Ang one of those parking aids they sell @ Griot's Garage for Xmas. That is a bad habit to get into, the bumper's always gonna lose.
