    Was sent to the drug store to get Carina’s niece a birthday card. I took the liberty to pick out a card for you as well. IMG_4258.jpeg IMG_4259.jpeg

    I'm not gonna lie about it, I've had a rough day. The guys I work with are family. I was good until I put that letter in the Chief's hand. But it's the right thing to do.

    Walking away from the job isn't the problem... It's Walking away from the men that always had your back that gets to you... Just like you always had their's.

    Me too!
    I graduated from the work force back in 2019.
    This is a good representation of how my first day of retirement looked!
    Congratulations from Dennis.

    Yeah, can't launch it very hard. Last test pass was a 9.09, I'm gonna drop my tire pressure in the morning before time trials start. OH! and i figured out i have to leave the shoulder straps loose, can't reach my shifter lmao! Here's my lovely camera woman ;) 20250704_202537.jpg 20250704_201748.jpg 20250704_202038.jpg

    Ah…can you run those stupid-priced DOT race tires? I used to run Hoosier Quick Times back when I wast’t so broke… :oops: I think they hooked as good as slicks on my car.

    Keep it between the ditches , my friend . Long drives after the swing shift was like putting a loaded gun to my own head .

    You see green - late tree.
    By the time you see the last yellow from your brain to the clutch is the time to green.
    Track looked a little more wet than sticky.
    Maybe just street tire mirage.
    Either way - good for you to thrash it a time or two.
    Be safe - with in your ability.
