Jack:

Sounds like you may be planning to build an arc???
Dennis Petras and I are coming down tomorrow morning,
shall we stop and pick up 12 of Dunkin's Finest Assorted??
BTW: The sun is out right now in P'Burg, so we'll bring
some of that tomorrow as well.

Tonight the rain moved out - its dry here for a change .The biggest difference now is the temperature took a plunge - brrrrr - chilly tonight for sure - lows in the high forties.

But along with these changes are some good ones --- like the barometer has jumped .50 in the last few hours and is expected to continue climbing right into tomorrow .The Hemi and American Muscle guys ( not to mention everyone else ) will like these changes for sure .

In the morning much of the humidity thats hanging around should be gone and the go-fast weather will kick-in .Yippeeeeeeeee ..............

Dinner tonight was at the LaBrecque / Diamond RV compound - Shepards Pie , Breaded Sea Scallops ,Cajun Shrimp, Sliced Ham ,Beef Stew , deep fried vegetables and more .All this plus several kinds of cakes and pies served with fresh brewed coffee and adult beverages .Thanks Marc and Joanne ..........I should take a very long walk before bed .........Nah ! ! !

Start engines at 8:30 sharp with Stock out first ...........

[hookdaddy]

Nah why walk after that dinner you'l just need to take a few pounds out of the weight box and you'll be right back on weight. LOL See you tomorrow.

Good morning -- Finally ! ! ! The Sun is coming up and we will get started today .And even though we're two days late everyone is chompin' at the bit to get on the Maple Grove quarter mile .

Temps this morning are on the chilly side as they are in the fifties at this time but will climb well into the sixties later .The barometer is still climbing and is now at almost 29.70 with the humidity very high @ 67% but will burn off this morning .

They are saying we are to have windy conditions with gusts up to 40 mph later this morning .

Gates are now open and rigs are moving in as tech is to be open from 8 to 9 this morning only .

Just saw a guy walk by in shorts - I don't think so today ............

Haven't heard the Jet running yet this AM but it's still early .

Back in a bit - going for a walk to see what's going on ........and maybe lose an ounce ot two of last nights' feast .......later .
