TVI'S BIG ADVENTURE DAY 8

HELLO TO ALL,

     WELL DAY 8 STARTED OUT PRETTY SHITTY. STORMING AND POURING. LIGHTNING, WIND. SO MUCH SO THAT MY FRIEND FROM INDY DECIDED TO CALL IT A WEEKEND AND WENT HOME. THE YOUNGEST AND I DECIDED( WELL, I DECIDED BECAUSE HE WAS SLEEPING) THAT I (WE) WOULD RIDE IT OUT FOR AWHILE. I FIGURED I HAD PAID FOR THE NIGHT OF CAMPING(THEY DON'T GIVE REFUNDS HERE), AND I REALLY DIDN'T WANT THE ADVENTURE TO END.

   WELL, I LAID AROUND AND WORKED ON THE COMPUTER TILL THE SON WOKE UP, AND WE TALKED IT OVER AND DECIDED TO GO TO A MOVIE. DROVE TO TOWN AND SAW THE NEW X-MEN MOVIE, PRETTY GOOD.

     WHEN WE CAME OUT OF THE THEATRE, THE SUN WAS SHINING BRIGHTLY, SO WE HEADED BACK TO THE DRAGSTRIP. WHEN WE GOT TO THE CAMPER WE ASKED THE GUY AT THE GATE IF THEY WERE GOING TO RACE AND HE SAID YEAH AT 6:00. LOOKED AT THE WATCH AND IT WAS 5:55. RAN BACK TO THE CAMPER AND GRABBED OUR SUPPLIES AND DROVE UP TO THE TRACK AND ENJOYED THE RACING UNTIL ABOUT 11:30. THEY WERE STLL RACING WHEN WE LEFT.

     WELL, THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF THE BIG ADVENTURE. TOMMORROW, WE PACK UP AND HEAD FOR HOME. I HAVE TO SAY I REALLY HAD A BLAST. EVEN HELPING THE SON IN NASHVILLE, IT WAS A LOT OF WORK, BUT ENJOYABLE WORK. SEEING THE GRATITUDE HE EXPRESSED WHEN I LEFT, MEANS A LOT TO ME. HE SENT ME A PICTURE OF THE WALL WE FRAMED UP ALL FINISHED ALREADY. THE VISITS WITH OLD FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS A GOOD THING. SEEING THE CORVETTE MUSEUM WAS ON MY PERSONAL "BUCKET LIST". COMING BACK TO THE REUNION, WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT TAKES ME BACK TO THE "OLD SCHOOL DAYS".

   AND SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED THAT.

     SO, MY BATTERIES ARE PRETTY CHARGED, MY ATTITUDE IS ADJUSTED, I THINK I'M READY TO GO HOME NOW.

                                                    TALK TO YOU SOON,
