So my Aggies won today against a pretty good Baylor team, or at least a really really good Baylor quarterback.

I've taken the For Sale signs off the truck, trailer, and race car. See you next weekend!

At a b-day parywith the oldest and youngest. Had a "double" go cart ride for the oldest since he's not tall enough to ride on his own. Dude, pathetic. Felt like we were at idle. At least I could use slower cars as picks to get in front of the faster 2-seaters... Sucker!

Installed different exhaust manifolds and Y pipe to get rid of the cats this weekend. Anyone have a muffler setup? Got it off the stands and cranked for the first time since May. Then filled her up with coolant to get ready for the winter. Now if Wirtz would come over and put on some Zaino she would be ready to hibernate.

And Ken-sorry to see they couldn't handle the turtle's.

Marshall-you need to pick a different place for the party-http://dallaskartingcomplex.com/ I suggest this as a place for a banquet.

Sounds like a great "off season" play day for adults... I'm in for $150-all day pass.

You did see the final score, right?

I thought it was two Big-12 teams playing - no defense

No, it's just that the Big-12 has really really good offenses! ;)

Wow-I thought I saw it listed as a final on the bottom of the TV during Nascar.

They'll probably end up playing Boise State in some not-quite-National Championship Bowl if they can take care of Georgia Tech and stomp SCar into the ground as everyone's expecting them to do. Stupid BullshitChampionshipSeries.

To me..... Anything but the National Championship game is a whogivesadayum.com bowl game. The BCS is a stupid system.

Ah, a future series Director.

All I did was pick up a transmission jack, those stupid t56s are heavy.

Wow! Good job. I'm gonna quit now before I get beat by a girl! (j/k'ing).

Well......this is bad news for me, if I can ever find the time to fix the car and do the upgrades for the duece that is. Awesome job Mindy. There's gonna be a lot of mid pack slackers in trouble here pretty quick.

Pulled the rear end out from under the car; half expecting to find REALLY ugly stuff.

Bad news is there is NO vent at all in the housing. Certainly helps explain the smoking.

Good news is the rear end was relatively full of fluid, and both the ring and pinion gears look good, and I don't feel any slop and no noise to speak of.

The real question is whether I risk messing with the pinion seal since the vent was missing entirely. I'm leaning toward cleaning it up, putting in a brass nipple for a vent hose per several recommendations and moving forward.

So now the winter review continues with one T56 locked in gear and one that won't go into gear.

I'm used to cheering for hopeless causes (Astros, Texans in previous years, Clemson in previous years, Rockets, etc) so what's adding one more to the list going to do? ;)

I feel your pain Wayne!!
Being a Texas Tech fan and Cowboys fan can be brutal. Watching Tech feels like watching a team full of Tony Romo's.
How can a team beat OU in Norman one week and then get blasted by a crappy Iowa State the next week at home?????????
Very FRUSTRATING!!!!

Took my youngest to school this morning, in a rented BWM 328i. 6:30am, wide open parking lot, no one around. Doughnut time! Shortly thereafter, he posted the following message on FB:

Pretty cool Adam. Once my kiddos get old enough, I definately will do something similar.

When we lived in TX, during one of the winter ice storms, I can recall taking my wife's full sized conversion van out in our cul-de-sac, with Seth riding shotgun (he was 12/13 or so at the time), and doing many, many doughnuts. Neighbors thought I was nuts (not that I can argue). Seth enjoyed it thoroughly.

So did I.

And all this time I thought those spins at Cresson were just poor driving ability.

Oh hell no. It took years of careful, calculated practice to get them just right.

I did doughnuts in my work parking lot with my 91 Mustang until the kids got car-sick. It was awesome.

Found this road by accident while working out in Hanford, CA. Took the kids up to see the Sequoia's. Had two kids throwing up in the back seat of the BMW 325i convertible about 2 miles into it.
