Hey gang, it's blog time again. The week goes by so fast, I lose track of time and I really am trying to write to you guys on a regular basis. I know once the motorcycles are back at the races, that it’s going to be even more difficult, but I promise to do my best at updating as often as possible.

Well I have been a busy little bee since I last posted. I attended the Indy Dealer Expo on February 16-17. It was really amazing. Although I’ve been a motorcycle dealer for the past seven years, I have never attended the show before. I was in motorcycle heaven. So many people to meet and so many new products to see. I spent several hours over the weekend signing in the Rush Racing Products booth and I really enjoyed visiting with fans and friends.

Saturday evening, Seth and I went over to Antron and my cousin Billie Jo’s house for dinner. Then we joined my old teammates and some other friends for a night of go-cart racing. I had a lot of fun but I have to admit that the carts were really fast and the track was really tight so it made me sick to my stomach and gave me a headache. Either I am just not used to bumping and turning while racing, or I am getting old really fast. Man that sucks!

We also got a chance to hang out with a couple of my dealership employees at a place called Howl At The Moon which is a really cool piano bar. They have this big dry erase board that you pay money to put a message on for all to see. Each message has to be outbid by someone to have a new message put up. It’s a great easy money idea on their part. Anyway, Seth put up a few bucks and had them write, “IU who? LSU BABY!!! SEC and BCS Champions!! It was a good way to get a bunch of rocks thrown at us, but fortunately, it was an easy going crowd. Well now that I think of it, they probably knew better than to mess with some crazy Cajun Tiger fans! Yeah, that’s probably it.

During the week I managed to get some things done that I wanted to take care of before we start racing. Sort of like spring cleaning, but for me its pre-race cleaning. I had to get my office organized so that I could get all of my 2007 income and expenses entered into my QuickBooks for tax time. Yay. That’s always fun isn’t it? Especially when you wait till the year is over to do it like I do. You see there is more to racing than meets the eye. It’s like running a business, but a lot more fun for sure. I managed to get one spare bedroom fixed up nice and pretty for any over night guests and started working on the other spare room which is going to be Abigail’s nursery. I still don’t know when she is going to get here exactly, but I do want to thank those of you that have sent supportive messages and prayers concerning Abby Jo’s highly anticipated arrival. I really appreciate all of you.

This past weekend Seth and I spent some time with his family in Baton Rouge. We had fun hanging out with everyone at his nephew Gabe’s birthday party on Sunday. Seth’s dad, Mr. Greg made an awesome Jambalaya and I ate more than my share. Maybe I can talk him into the giving me the recipe for you folks. For the first half of the party I was preoccupied with checking NHRA.com for the race results because I am a nervous wreck whenever Antron is racing. I really don’t know how our family members manage to stay sane at home while listening to the races on NHRA.com. I hate not being there while he is competing. It’s going to be so much fun watching him in Gainesville. After he unfortunately smoked the tires in second round, I enjoyed the rest of the day with the kids. Seth’s nieces and nephews are so beautiful and each of them has such an adorable personality. Landon, Dallas, Savannah, Gabe, Nick and Kaitlyn, I just can’t wait to have my own little China doll running around with all of them.

Later that day, Rusty, Seth’s brother-in-law, wanted me to teach him a few things about Pro Stock Motorcycle racing. So I found the only ride I figured he could handle and started with a lesson on surging forward while releasing the clutch. As soon as he gets used to the launching power of his son’s scooter, we’ll move on to shifting into second gear.

Today, I decided to put all racing stuff aside and spend the day with my little cousin Rae’lyn. She’s two-years old with the biggest personality of them all. I have a pretty decent camera that I enjoy using so I took some photos of her on the nearby railroad tracks. I would like to share a few with you. Isn’t she adorable? Can you imagine how much I am going to enjoy my own little girl when I finally get her?

Well, that’s about it for now except for some really bad news. I have been dreading telling you all about this. There will be no more Boudreaux and Thibodaux jokes.

Boudreaux passed away last week and left a will.

He wanted to be buried at sea.

Thibodaux drowned while trying to dig his grave.

May day boat rest in peace!

Until next time,… "Laissez les bons temps rouler!"
