Beer is great but will probably bring my bottle of rum in a leather bag.... Maybe even some scotch. We will see what mood Im in when I get there...

I hope to be there and camped wednesday night...

This is what Murphys law and stupidity looks like... almost a weekend ender. Notice how perfectly the hole is centered.



Back to work.

It really did work out great !
Let me know what finally fixes it also.
Remember the line and the over center spring.

Friday should be very nice although with strong southerly winds. It now looks like rain for Saturday is more likely, but with luck it will stay in the early morning period (fronts are hard to time in March). Either way, it will be brief and probably not severe. Skys will clear and chill quickly behind the front with Saturday's high in the low 60s and Sunday's temps in the hi 30s to low 60s range.

It's going to be a beautiful weekend. After last year, I think I can handle a < 100% chance of rain on one of the days.

With those strong winds, whatever comes in will most likely blow out quickly.

Just changed brakes last night so I'm ready for the DE. But, even more, I'm really looking forward to watching the races. Nothing like all of those Porsche race cars spreading out at the start/finish when the starter throws the green flag... always give me chills. Awesome.
