Here I am back at the Reno Tahoe International airport waiting for my flight to Houston. It seems this is the only place I seem to find the time to sit and write down all my thoughts for the blog.

Since my return from Gainesville I have been busy at GE wrapping up the end of the quarter. The week just before the end of the quarter (this week) is usually very busy for the facilities, but not so much for me. Most of my work has been done by this point in the quarter, and I just keep my eye on things as it plays out. The first through the 10th week of the quarter are the busy weeks for me as I capture and record all the data from the previous quarter and set and drive new objectives for the current one. So far things are going as scheduled.

Once I get to the racetrack I usually switch gears to my racing job. Actually I think about racing and making perfect passes as I work out at home each evening. That usually makes the time go by very fast. I pictured Houston very clearly last night.

I will arrive in Houston at 8:30 tonight where Gary will pick me up. Tomorrow morning I will do a quick interview on Arrow (not sure of call numbers), and then head to downtown Houston for a NHRA press luncheon. Debbie will be coming with me so I will give her the camera for the blog pictures.

Speaking of pictures, I have been receiving many comments on the shop we are building. It is actually a garage for Gary and my dad. My father is a wood craftsman by hobby, and Gary wants a place to play with his toys. They will share the shop. Here is a picture of it as it progresses to the next stage. Actually, yesterday, in the snow, we had a crew out there developing the approach to the shop. The next picture you will see it should have a driveway. The weather is supposed to stay nice long enough for them to pour the concrete.

Well, we are boarding the plane now, so I will sign off. Thanks for all your suggestions for blogs.
