There's nothing better than having friends and family call and sing to you on their speakerphones. You talk about distorted sound !

Yeah, I met him through my daughter. I was adjusting my rear sway bar, when he walked into my garage and started talking about you and your MINI.

Most of the hard-core "voluteers" are in Kansas to compete in the Nationals. Be patient
In the last two events SM was run in the PM. so I think we can logically(?) conclude that we'll run in the AM. on the 30th. I can't believe I said logically.

Cubby do you think you'll make it to Atwater this weekend? You don't need to run in any special class just run with us.
