Thumbs up Palms sweaty, butterflies fluttering. Oh, this is going to be a good day!

Think back to sometime when you were very excited about an upcoming event. Kind of like a new car arrival or attending a track event or moving into a new house. Heck, maybe even the birth of your kid.

Made some coffee, made breakfast for my daughter, cleaned the kitchen, fed the dog, put up a new thread.

Ain't saying right now, but let's just say I woke up early and ready to go. Another thread and pictures later.

I'm ready!

Use the restroom at home. The ones at the track are #1 only.


Unless you go in your car.

Have fun!

still sound advice.

i used to ride enduros (motorcycle race event), the line and the bouquet at/in the blue boxes in the morning were the worst. lucky for me i was in my ealry 20's and could hold my breath getting in and out rather quickly. today being nearly 40 i need a bit more time in the morning to get things moved around and finish my paper work.

I have not posted anything on the "What Do You Do" thread, but most of you know I am a labor relations guy. Labor relations is not for the feignt of heart. It's like going over backwards in a chair on two legs....all the time. Bluffing and brinksmanship. Testosterone and money. Dodging bullets and capturing ground. My psychologist understands me. I'm an emotional bungee jumper. I'd do this job even if they quit paying me. I can't remember the last time I didn't want to come to work.

he's been doing the "resto" of that '72 for a while now.... i'm guessing he'll be firing up a bigger, new-to-him motor as the final step before the car is "finished"

maybe another one is getting into guns?

going to see a new movie?

Hmm, this is how I felt when I was getting ready to go out with the hottie I managed to get a number from the night before.

Jurgen, that's not funny, man! Well, maybe a little.

I'll have to put up a separate thread in the Tech section to be BBS compliant. IYKWIM

I had no idea how .......tough it ........ is .....to type with sweaty, trembling hands.
