Reminds me of the day we had a ceiling of about 700 feet and winds
about
18 kts. We tied a 26' LoPo to a creeper and took it to the local
elementary school to ride it across the black top. At least we wore
helmets. When it was my turn I caught a 40 kt gust and wound up with
the
back of my neck and shins on the same plane as I listened to my
deltoid
muscles ripe down my back. We were using an anemometer.


Bored skydivers will do just about anything for a thrill.
FWIW, I shot a 105 at Bristow Manor today. It's off my list. I lost
nine
balls. Not a happy camper.
I'm looking for an interesting place to play on the 29th. Got any
ideas.
The MOH course is off my list for the time being.


If you're up for a drive, try Blue Ridge Shadows in Luray or Rock
Harbor in
Winchester. They're way out west! I love Blue Ridge Shadows, but it's a
pretty good drive, so we don't take that trip lightly.


I just spent the last week feeding the gas sucking pig, 2001 F-150
SuperCrew 5.4L V8, every day. Home to Ocean City, MD to Wilmington, NC
to Ocean City, to Home. I actually bought 15 gallons of gas for $3.45 a
gallon on Sunday in Franklin, VA (Rt. 58 between I-95 and Norfolk).


I have a car that gets about 1 MPH. 1400 pound car with a 600 HP
methanol engine. 7000 RPM 360 small block. It will do a wheelie on
dirt at 80 MPH or so. Sprint cars they call them, and with 4 mile long
races that fits.

Get a better car. 600 hp should go faster than 1 MPH.
