That's certainly one of those "looks fast when it's standing still" kind of things, and the lines, especially when you can see the whole thing look amazingly elegant.

Caught a Black crested Chickadee building a nest in my hanging Fuchsia basket early on, cleared it and folded up a chunk of wire fencing to deter her intentions.
Thought I had my point across, couple days later, nope! she saw that as a good thing she could still get to and she already moved herself right in. I have a drip system set up, so she's got freash water delivered twice daily for 15 minutes.
She agreed to help keep the plant fertilized, I agreed to let her be.

Ohhhh,
Grampa was a Carpenter, built houses, stores and banks. Didn't smoke no cigarettes, but he drilled big holes in planks.

On my Mom's side of the circus and in Adair County Missouri to be precise... and he really was a Carpenter, Farmer and from what I was told a prankster too.

Passed on before I was born from "consumption" or really cancer. I now wonder if it was exposure to "Asphalt and Asbestos" best building materials ever!

Had to update my wording, didn’t want folks think at was shooting “at” planes taking off. [emoji2957]

Got to the track this afternoon, unloaded the car and everything looks great....

Until I noticed one of the trailer tires was missing! Somewhere between Charleston and Savannah, the tire self-destructed.

Called U-Haul and they had it replaced within an hour.

How'd the car do?

I was surprised how quickly they got it replaced.

Hopefully the car does well. Today is the first track day of the event.
