Very fan friendly at this track and no alcohol at the track is allowed. I was truly impressed with the facilities and the track. A lot of fun. I will be back.

Nicole took this with our new Cannon Rebel. I love this pic 'cause it resembles a Sam Bass (look it up on the web) . Sam Bass is a great painter and is commitioned all the time by racers to do their helmets and he also sells shirts and paintings.

Fried Wha!!!?????

This is a bit blurry but, please remember I just had a Mountain Dew. Nicole with the boys. Oh, can I tell you about the discovery Nicole and I had? I'll tell anyway. Fried Oreos. YUP!! Oreos dipped into a batter and fried up. Guess the original fat content in an Oreo wasn't enough for the inventor of that. Urban Legend tells that the inventor is already dead of a heart attack.

Another dirt track...

That's my buddies, Paul and Michael (with me) watching the qualifing at Bridgeport Speedway only an hour from the house. South Jersey. Love it. Totally addicted to dirt tracks now. So much to do and so little time. It's great.

Today on this date marks the 25th anniversary of the very first time MTV was aired. Remember Adam Curry, Martha Stewart, JJ Jackson and the rest and the Randy Redwood commercials. Duh, duh, duh, nah, nah, nah....you are singing the tune right now I know!!!

Ok, last photo of my trip, I think. This is me 'playing around', as you can tell the project didn't get all the way done while I was up in Canada. The outhouse took a bit longer than 4 days. A lot of going and getting lumber and stuff, a lot of redesigning the plans, too. Dad did a bunch of the work for I do not know too much about this stuff. I followed directions to the best of my abilities. Sometimes that wasn't all too good. All in all had a good trip and only got into one spat with the family...ahh progress (small chuckle).

This is Pop and me working on the outhouse. Behind is the garage. The first day of the adventure was the hottest of the days that I was up there and that was the day Dad and I dug the hole. Hard work. I'll stick to retail anyday, thank you. I can do the work, although I'd hate to do it as a job. Too much troubleshooting. I'm disgusted with that. Do something and have it done. Not, 'well, that didn't work. let's try this...' - Oh, no!!! You can stick that in a handbag, Mister!!!!!

Hard work in Canada!

OK, so it wasn't all work and no play. This trophy (which I released-didn't want to go through the hassle of cleaning) was from a paddle boat 100 yards from the cottage in the Ottawa River. After a full day of working with Dad on re-doing a outhouse for the cottage.
More on that later.
Here's a great tid-bit --- On XM radio (which I have), this weekend they are starting the old Casey Kasem Top 40 show, commercial free. A whole marathon on channel 8 (for eighties-clever, huh?).
