There were about 100 cars on the track. We had to stay in order. No real hot laps. Some speeds up to 70 or 80 but short burst. Mostly it was cool to see the place.

I sat in traffic for an hour-and-a-half on my way home today. Ther were about 5000 cars and trucks around me. Highwayside fire. My 1 1/2 hour commute doubled.

Morning Rick.

Today we go to the distilery tour. Makers Mark & Jim Beam or Jack Daniels. I don't remember which. It does not much matter to me I have not had any whiskey in many years. It will be cool to see the history and the process of the places. We eat at one of them.

Some of the distilleries are in dry counties. They can manufacture it but not sell it retail.

Oh boy, get to, errr, required to go to a class called the "Great Game of Business Financial Literacy Training." this afternoon and it's 4 hours long. Sounds like it's going to be tough to stay awake.

We are on east coast time and we had to get ready to get on a shuttle to get to a bus at the main hotel by 7:00 am. We will be gone until time for the evening banquet.

Glen, looks like a good time as always. At least this year is only an our difference for you to adjust to.

My wife's mother, mother's husband, and my wife's older brother are visiting from CA. They are enjoying it for the most part. Her mom doesn't enjoy cold or rain but her brother enjoys the change of weather. Living in the Imperial Valley he doesn't get much change other than it gets windy to go along with the sun.

We took him out Sunday to shoot at the Texas Star since he hadn't had the chance yet. He did pretty well since we were at about 18 yards due to the alternate location we had after all the rain. Emily shot at it as well, but had a hard time knocking the plates off with the .22 revolver spoon. She had to reload once to get all the plates to fall and we told her she did much better than the La Crosse police officer who didn't hit any plate with the first 150 rounds. I even let Jacob shoot one of the plates that wasn't moving with the single shot .22 and he hit it first shot. He has to have a rest to be able to hold it well. We also broke in the new 10/22 spoon I bought for our family as well. It shoots a little left but I am going to put either a small scope or better yet, a peep on it. When we were at the supper table my wife asked what the difference was between our new one and her brother's and I said ours will accept the 25 round magazine and his won't. Emily also bought a t-shirt at the spoon store that says "Second Amendment - Own IT" and has the 2nd in the background. They have another I am going to pick up next time up there. It has the 2nd with some of the words bolded, like tyranny.

We went to the national motorcycle museum on Monday. Em took all the pictures so i will have to shoot them up later, but here is a link. National Motorcycle Museum » One of the finest collections of vintage bikes in the world!

Pretty cool place. Lots of old names. There was a Bultaco there that we just like the one the guy I am named after had back in the day.

Had to clean up a Russian Olive tree yesterday in dad's yard from the storms.

Oh yeah, I love weeks like this. Today is my Monday, tomorrow hump day and Friday is Friday.

Jim Beam was much higher tech. And way bigger.



They have 19 varieties of bourbon.

Sounds like a fun time. It isn't something I would normally buy, but it would be fun to try some different ones.

Is $499 a good price on a DPMS Oracle in .223/5.56?
