Title: Bummed out...!
Post by: Mark Bernard on April 09, 2006, 09:33:19 AM
I hate to say it... but no R/A for me this month.  :'( I can't get vacation time and we have to work that Saturday.... AND, my new bike is not going to be ready in time even if i could go.

I'm not happy about missing R/A. It just depresses me to no end.

I guess I will have to get ahold of Monte and do some track time with STT when they go back to R/A as an instructor.

I might make it up that Sunday and (dare I say it...) spectate!  :'( sniff, sniff.... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... (deep breath) sniff, sniff, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!  :'(  :'(  :'(

Someone throw me a pitty party please!    :-/

I'll be the first to say it, I'm sorry you won't be there, you'll be missed. :(

I can't handle the cold... but I do feel bad for anyone that wants to race and can't!

I think a nice Brie would go well with that whine...






Seriously tho... I'm bummin' as well... will be stuck workin' that weekend too.  Of course, this year it'll prolly be 60 and sunny.

Just have to look ahead to Blackhawk.   :D :D

It's about time for the weather to surprise everyone and be beautiful.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to get away from work either so I'm letting RA pass by too.

No flu, no bike, no time off of work, no sympathy.... :'(

I have no ill feelings about going white this year at all Mike. As a matter of face I am looking foward to being able to race with my friends. (yes, I do have a friend or two!) lol!  ::)

My main concentration will be BHF this season along with some track time with STT and PTT. Oh... and I will be going to Barber. That is a definate. I did manage to get vacation for that week.

Basicly I am just looking toward getting some good seat time on the new bike this year.
