I'll be "working" in the local area that Friday, so I may just eat lunch there as well.

So, I have to share something funny. I told my wife that NASA Nor Cal had a kiddie play area with a bounce house and that idea was tossed around for our region. Her immediate response was,
"Honey, since your president now, that might not be a good idea with the safety of the bounce house and the liability". My response was, "I'm not the president. That's Dave B.'s gig and I'm sure he's well aware of that type of thing."
I'm just glad she "thinks" I'm the president. Maybe I can get more budget from the appropriations committee?
You can have the budget for a bounce house. You are the president of all things little kids :).Quote:

Now I gotta figure out how I'm going to steal that on Saturday night.Quote:

I'm for pushing friday night dinner up a little bit. Randy and I are planning on getting there fairly early Friday if all goes well.
Richard, you can always crash on the floor of my RV if you want.
Bryan...there are plenty of quasi adults during the day! Come on out. You too Wade...we'll hang a handicapped sign around your neck and you wont have to lift a finger all weekend.
Yeah I would have to think the liablility is less on a bounce house than for 30 idiots running 120 into turn 1. Of course they may not be thinking about Eddie and Michael Mosty in there after a case of Keystone.
I'm glad Marshall thinks an 8 year old is good to watch my 4 and 1 year old. I'm guessing this is the same one that I cracked his skull one night?
I'll definitely miss a chicken fried ribeye.

Hey, is this thing on??? There hasn't been any activity in about a day.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't have anything terribly interesting to contribute at the moment but there is a pretty interesting discussion on the national AI board that's been going the last couple days. If any of the AI guys on here haven't seen it yet, it's worth checking out.
Not IMO...same BS as always. Dominated by posts from "If the rules are not perfect for me I am taking my football home" crowd.Quote:

I guess dropping by the Nats forum did get me a new sig prompted by a comment from Misty - and no, I did not take it personally - nor Marshall's comment..they are factual and hence the new sig. I get a shit load of fun out of this hobby BECAUSE of all of you - not in spite of you...same might or might not be true if I lived in another region.
Now if the AI braintrust institutes a 107% rule, well then I might get a bit anxious....
I would not put much value in her opinion regarding you. She never did any better when she was running w/ us. Seems these days she has a little MFW in her. (pun intended).Quote:

What he and I do or don't do is absolutely none of your business and I would never presume to insult your wife or kids in any manner. I expected better of you.
Misty,
that took 2 hours and 9 minutes, you must be slacking.
Sorry. Figured you could take a joke.Quote:

I have no goal to insult you. I think you are a great person. I have noticed a difference in your personality as of late (last couple of years). That is likely the reason you seem to think I'm attacking you. I am simply responding to the negative attitude you seem to be projecting more and more frequently.
If you don't come over and talk w/ me - that is fine. I didn't realize you were doing so because you though I needed it. I don’t. I was merely being social.
My point was more about your public opinion of Brian in the AI rules thread. Very seldom does anyone say a negative word about you and your driving skills. I found it odd that you (of all people) should comment on someone else’s ability. Just as my comment was out of line (and I knew it when I did it), so was yours. That could have been left to a one-on-one w/ Marshall. Give them credit for trying (to prove Todd made a mistake) instead of bashing their efforts w/ limited resources.
Again, sorry if you were offended by my jab.
Looks like we need a family meeting over beer and BBQ :)Speaking of, and back on topic...we doing the big BBQ or just our group...it'll make a difference on what I buy next week and definately how much.

If anyone is up for adding brisket to the "B" list foods, let me know know now and I'll account for that. I think we will need four 11-12lb briskets.
tsk tsk...Brisket is NEVER on the "B" list - strictly A-list all the way along with Randy's tri-tip and Franks spicy sausage ;)
I'm fine with anyone else grilling...I do an all day (night) BBQ for the family and friends 20-30 times a year so I am completely fine just being an eater. I will say though that grilling is to BBQ as my racing is to AI/CMC - middle of the pack :cool:
There was a joke.... Right there.... Read it.... Go Brian.... ROTFLMOA! :)Quote:

Okay guys. Here's the sign-up list as of 10:00am today.
I know some folks are planning on coming, but obviously haven't registered... (Calder!!!)
American Iron
Casey Holdway
Marshall Mosty
Dave Neary
Frank Robertson
Eddie Rock
CMC-2
Randy English
Dave Francis
Team Jordan
Michael Mosty
Steve Mulder
James Proctor
Gary Robertson
Wayne Stehle
With 13 total cars (14 counting Calder), there is a very good chance of being combined with another group. Right now it looks like we might be combined with Blitz (ST/GTS). There would be a split start to ensure we have good gap between classes (at least at the beginning).
I think our awareness of each other has improved greatly and hope that we can "share" the track with our fellow racers, in the event that a combination is necessary.
Thoughts?
For reference, Blitz has 9 cars....
The plan would be for races #2 and #4, our non-tire races.
Is that too much of a poke in the eye?Quote:

Don't twist my words sir... :)Quote:

Just consider it a "challenge"...
Pros= 1. A fun opportunity to pit yourself and your car against a larger assortment of cars (not for position of course, but just to know that you can go faster than a ___).Quote:

Cons= 1. Last chance to earn points for the season may push people to drive a little harder than they should around new/different cars and drivers.
2. More traffic to try to work through.
Either way, I'm up for whatever. Could be fun. :)
Myself, I would like to see all the class's run together in one last race of the year for 30-40 minutes on Sunday. Invert based on the fastest qual time of the two days. King of the Hill!
We will hold that one off for Nov TWS. Just all part of the fun for that weekend. Of course for that, it'll be Australian pursuit format. Inverted and spaced based off you fast lap time. Figure PTF Brewer gets a 2 lap head start over the ST1 cars. They need to un-lap themselves twice and catch him over that 35 or 40 minutes.Quote:
