Yours is a class A, but I can’t make it out.
That Pete and riverstone is a nice setup.


Yes we have an A, it’s not the biggest A but it is very comfortable for us. We will be back in Ft. Worth on the 21st for the weekend of racing there. And yes that 5th wheel is every bit as nice as what is pulling it. Looks to be pure luxury.

Thanks ST, the weather has been chamber of commerce the entire weekend so far. Low 60’s in the morning, reaching 85 or so in the afternoons.

Thank you Sir. The relief in weather has been pleasant to say the least. Here I am up by the fence on the back stretch, and also one of the warden back behind me up on the motorhome.

Good morning, and greetings from chilly Balsam Lake Wisconsin. The race at Kansas was pretty good, didn’t end how I would have liked, but that’s the way it goes.

Left Kansas City early yesterday morning, 8 hour run up to here. In case anyone is wondering, gas is four bucks here. I paid 3.14 at the Buc-ee’s in Waller TX. Last tuesday

Dear friend here turned 89 yesterday, she cooked up a nice dinner party for 12. Next year she turns 90 and they will have a 70th wedding anniversary, Al is 93. Be hear today yet then leave tomorrow for another stop up here to visit some of the Wardens cousins.

No, it was an issue of not getting blood to the bone in her wrist properly. There is a term for it but I can’t ever remember it. So she had some surgery about 3 or so weeks ago. When we get back to Ft. Worth on the 21st, she will jump in the car and make a run to Cypress TX. for a check up appointment, then come back up and meet me at the race track.
