Well, the weekend is over, and yes, my friend Penny did it. Here is a picture of her tattoo. She said she was in pain, but she remained calm during the hour and a half that it took. Not sure if you can tell by the picture, but it is a fairy with a ring of flowers around her ankle. She said next year it was my turn and that a green gecko would look great. Well, I’m sure it would … on someone else. The kind that you can wash off with water is about as permanent as I will go with body art. But I do think they look good on other people.

Gary made it home on Monday from Las Vegas. While he was there, he was able to attend the Craftsman Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with a couple of friends. He had a great time but was glad to be home.

While I’ve been busy going to work and continuing on with my “other” career, Gary has been home monitoring the house addition progress with my parents. He spent about two days going over all that has taken place and just getting up to speed.

When I came home from work yesterday, he was out on the tractor preparing the ground for landscaping. I really think both Gary and my dad just try to find excuses to drive things around the yard. If it has a motor, they want to drive it somewhere.

The land where our shop is going has now been cleared, and the cement should be poured next week or so. Gary, my mom, and I had a trip scheduled to California for an NMRA race on the weekend of the 14-16 that has now been postponed, so Gary may just get to complete the shop before we head to the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals. We are trying to get things settled before winter really hits and the snow starts to fall.

I will be posting again after the weekend.
