I thought it would be a good idea to clean out some cubbards in the hutch that have just been accumulating.... 'stuff' Heck, I had paperwork in there from 1998. Sheesh!
The garbage men are just going to LOVE me on Monday.
;)
Could anyone use a Quicken program?
Now mind you, in order to load it on your machine, a 5-1/4 drive is required. ;D
Remember to shred shred shred. Also, check all unopened junk mail. Last summer I found $5 cash from Neilsen surveys. (dated 2000) ;D

LOL!!!!
Instead of shredding we have the woodstove (I guess we'll have to burn less wood next heating season). :D
The non-personal stuff heads out for recycling.

I'm worried about our boys at Autobahn. I'll be heading out there after work. There isn't a sliver of shade in the pits of that place.
Bring the water tank truck and an inflatable pool. Charge admission and pay for your racing. ;D

*shudder*
Sounds like MAM. I remember baking in the sun back in 2003 out there... ugh. I guess this might be one of those times when I'm kinda glad to be home in the A/C instead of at the race track.....
Naaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. I'd still rather be out there.

That was brutal.
Funny, I just remarked about that same event in another thread. I guess I wasn't the only one that felt that way.
Dawn
My car's thermometer read 98 degrees. Fortunately there was a good breeze that helped. I was under the canopy all day and I'm still fried!
A hot day at the track is still better than a cold day in the bedroom (or something like that :-/ )
Not only was it desert-like, an LP rider rode his pretty R6 to the track for a track day, only to crash and watch as his bike burned to the (insert whatever bikes burn to here). It so totally burned I don't know if anything was salvageable. Last I saw, Ike was taking the guy back home to Chicago. Considering Friday evening traffic he deserves a medal for that.
I think I'll go sit in a tub. Maybe a few bubbles and fragrance to make me feel all fluffy...
Pay no attention to me, I'm suffering from heat exhaustion. ;D

I heard that lavendar is a relaxing fragrance....
;D
Let's see, what do we have here....
Stress Relief Mineral bath salts
with Eucalyptus and Spearmint essential oils...
Bah,
I'll chew some gum while I take a quick shower. That'll be a lot less work.
;D
That twern't no R6. It was an R1, and the poor guy was a student of mine about a month ago at STT. Good rider, too. His crash was during Learning Curves. (Fall and you fail.) Now he's experienced his first highside, and has also learned that you should use hose clamps on your fuel lines, especially if you're running flatslides.... :o
I really felt bad for the guy. He was just crushed. I hope we see him back. :-/
Crash-fest today. Good thing I couldn't afford to race, because I was needed elsewhere. I spent all day fixing people's smashed bikes. I even got to repair Big O after somebody packed Ed Key on a red flag. How many people can say they've worked on Ed's bike unchaperoned while he went and sat in the AC? I know all the classified secrets now, but if I told you, I'd have to kill you! ;D
(Who'd have thought that there was such a thing as pulse wave plasma glue? And who'd have expected that it would be so effective at bonding unobtainum to megalightum? I must admit though, that those "Property of CIA-AREA 51 / unauthorised posession punishable by evisceration" warning stencils on Ed's spares boxes had me a bit spooked....)

Remember, I live up north for a reason.... ;)
So I went back to Autobahn today, just to have Tom Mason change a tire for me. While he was swapping the tire, Edgar crashed. Deja Vu! Isn't this how yesterday started? I helped him get it back together, took my tire, and headed for the gate. On my way out, there was Don Cook putting HIS bike back together! Don said he had it about fixed, so I ran for my life. Before I got home, I got a call on my cell phone that Ike managed to crash his bike again.... If I hadn't left when I did, I'd probably STILL be there, fixing bikes by flashlight!
All I know is that next time I crash, there'd better be a WHOLE CROWD of guys putting MY bike back together!
Eeesh. I think Ike was doin' good until something happened. He looked fine.
My little tuck of the front end in the morning race while avoiding traffic ahead gave me the opportunity to work on my bike all day in the heat. If everything happens for a reason, the only thing I can figure I that God didn't want me distracted by all the pretty young things in their itsy bitsy summer clothes.
Never mind, I got it back together and got third in the LW Superbike. Ed Key was up in first but Johnny Moore and I had a fun battle for second. Side by side at the white flag all the way down the straight headed for that @)*&$ dam kink before T2. I'm thinking to myself "Well, here's a nice game of chicken!" Then my second thought was "You know, we could both decide to give at the last minute and back off, still finding ourselves side by side through this darn thing. I gave way deciding I could do it again on the final turn to the checkered and might get by him. I was on his butt all the way around, but ran just a tad wide on the left hander (T7?) and lost a few yards, pooching the set up for the drive through the last double apex. I had to settle for third on his tail.
Fun race!

Ed's SV is super trick, no doubt. That made beating him in GT Lights aboard stone-axe simple (and heavy) Milwaukee iron all the sweeter.
Special thanks to Super Dave for the quick set up lesson and words of encouragement at the last Blackhawk. It helped!
Looking forward to Mid-America...
Chris, I could have used your services after I did my best impression of Steve Rapp piling his brake lever into the back of John Koscinski at Road America. In my case, I hit Greg Avello so hard at the start of the Thunderbike race in T1 that my brake lever ended up broken off and embedded in his tail section.

That was a pretty cool trick Paul ;D Thought you might want to mount that lever on a stand or something as a momento!
Turns 1 and 2 hsd their hands full both days with pickups. Not 1, but 2 aborted 2 wave starts for the weekend.
