    I hear ya, Dave. Life is full of compromises and choices - and you're making the right ones. Just understand the differences between correct life choices and "having your cake and eating it, too", and understand that being frustrated with those compromises is a normal reaction. Don't let that frustration get in the way.

    I'm still going to hit you, though. - GA

    Good to know, Thanks. My sister all ready has had a practice run this year and is also taking the school so I am at a disadvantage before I start!!!!

I was even able to afford the $7 replacement mic. lol
    Very sorry to hear, we lost a fur bearing family member to cancer last year also and it was a horrible few months.

    Yeah, fun stuff. One in May, the other in Oct. (Pups weren't related so it's odd to say the least.) Great additions to our family; I had even told my wife that the rottie was my solemate a couple of years ago. That went over well. Ooops.

    At least I didn't have a wheel fall off during the 2 - 4th sessions yesterday. Doh!!

    OUCH That first statement is a winner!! I can just imagine the follow up conversation.

    Well I really hope things are better, be great to see you at the track again, assuming my car is ready!!!!!!!!

    As a newbie to Lime Rock this weekend is there someplace in particular in the paddock that the IT guys pit?

    On second thought, maybe I should ask if there is someplace I should avoid pitting to avoid some of the regulars from this site?

    We are all over...FOM HQ is already set up in 'A' paddock. As you enter, keep on going - bend to the right and you will see the rig.

    You're a legend in your own mind.

    Flatout is way down, near Big Bend. Their rig is double tented Toter. Thanks to Nick and Forrest for helping me today in testing!

    Hey Matt, stop by and say hi. I'm not so sure I'll be good enough to be in A paddock. B usually has a bunch more room.

    So Dave is in B and Andy's in A. Good to know. Now my next question is there is a C paddock, right?

    I made a funny also.

    Thanks for the help. The next challenge will be finding my way around the track, in possible rain. I love the challenge of this sport!

    Lots of family conflicts for this weekend but the rain is making this event very very tempting.:cool:

    What's the divorce, child support (forgot empty nester soon) and alimony rate these days?

    Who knows. LRP has it's own climate which often the predictions are wrong. Matt, looks like I'm moving on up in the world and will be in A paddock near Jake. Hey, he's got an enclosed and now a pop up canopy. Wahoo.
