Hey, I really was working on the boat!

Today is Wednesday (actually I started this blog on Monday but it takes me a while to get it typed!), and according to the records, I have officially missed my first NHRA Pro Stock race in 19 years. You know what? I actually had a really nice weekend, and it wasn't that bad. I listened to Bob Frey on the computer for Q3, and I did end up catching the final on ESPN2 just as they were running Pro Stock. Other than that, Toni and I were busy all weekend enjoying Melissa, Jamie, Cynthy and of course little Ryan. It was pretty awesome! We did spend some time working on the boat and raking more Sycamore balls from my back yard. I swear, this tree in my yard must reproduce those stupid things as fast as they fall off of the tree. I don't think they will ever be gone!

Anyway, time marched on, and I didn't have a meltdown, panic attack, or any other unusual symptom that we drivers think we might experience when going through racing withdrawals, so I guess that's a good thing. I wonder if that means that I am officially cured? I guess time will tell, huh?

As Toni explained in her previous blog, I had some meetings scheduled on my way home from Houston concerning future sponsorships, and I am still working on putting together a program that will allow us to race for the remainder of the year. I was hoping for something to come together for Atlanta, but so far, things are still up in the air, so I'm not sure what will happen. I will be sure to keep everyone updated as things progress.

I am still working on my previous blogs with stories of "racing past," but I wanted to get this blog out while it is still fresh on my computer. Toni has been scanning some pictures to share with you, and I will try to get another blog to you by the end of the week. You know how it is, once you start going through old pictures, it seems like you just can't stop. I get myself totally distracted in the "Oh, remember this!" syndrome.

Anyway, I will keep everyone posted on any new developments — keep your fingers crossed for Atlanta!
