2strokemerc Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Cool and a few flurries tonight. Next week is going to be mild, one day over 50f. Late in the week is suppose to be dry which will be good for pulling my oldies out of storage and bringing them home. . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may only make 2 weekends this year with the travels we have planned already. I will race in the Pro Open and +45 class with the motoski. I have a nice little 340 exciter that I will race in the 0-400 class. All my stuff is loaded and ready to race. It may be March before I'm back home for a race though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are headed from Effingham Illinois to Phoenix immediately after Christmas, like Dec 28th, haha. Then spend Jan, Feb and March in the southwest bouncing around watching racing and having fun. We have a very full agenda starting with the AMA SX opener and it will end up with the Indy 500 in May. A few concerts thrown in for good measure. We have tickets for 3 Doors Down in Denver in January and the Foo Fighters in Austin in April. We will bounce back to AK a few times here and there to check on things and maybe work a little. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a weird deal, my wife and i have 4 daughters between us, all in their 20s, but no babies yet. My second wife however (work with me here ) has a son, who I hadn't seen in almost 8 years. He was a mommas boy growing up, but he sure grew up. Got married, joined the army and is now a sargeant, and has a son now. He even looks a little like a young Buss. They came by the house to visit last night. Not sure if that makes me a step grand pa or what. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
