Morning Nevada!

Well I took yesterday off to go ride some of the TALLEST and FASTEST roller coasters in the country...if not the world!

If you have never heard of Cedar Point...Roller Coaster Capital & Best Amusement Park in the World | Cedar Point Well...if you are ever in NorthWest Ohio...and you like coasters/rides...this is the place for you!

Their tallest and fastest coaster is the Top Thrill Dragster...we rode this ride 5-6 times and could have rode another 5-6 times if we chose.

0-120mph in 4 seconds up to 425' and nearly 0mph at top before reaccelerating back to ~120mph on the decent!

Official Top Thrill Dragster POV in HD - YouTube

I took my girls out of school for the day...an annual mid-May outting for us...and with being able to ride 30+ rides yesterday...that is WHY we go in mid-May during the week!

Joe.

Yep, I always try to make an appearance atleast once a day at some point in time. LOL! I'm always a good girl! (kinda ) Actually now that the house is done, I'm kicking back drinking an icy coca cola & just waiting for the mail to come so I can see if my check came in yet. I need to go to the bank,get hay & put gas in my 4Runner plus I have more work to do at my other house yet! I've gotta dig about 1' deep around 3 sides of the horse shelter so we can dis-assemble it. We had to bury some of it when we got it to keep it from moving & blowing over. I was hoping to get it all done before it got too hot, but the stupid mail lady is taking forever! Atleast the kids are outta school today & can help! It's teacher in service day or something?!

That looks to be an awesome roller coaster! Too bad it is not closer to Fresno.

Yep, I'm working on Saturday. Are you coming out? The races start at 9:30am until around 4pm give or take.

I haven't seen Michelle for awhile..She stopped in last weekend to say hi & give a quick update, but that's it. Hmm...She's probably working on the race car. Michelle...where you at girl? We miss you!
