Not a real good day to be spending at Lime Rock. I really hope this rain breaks soon.

Good morning all on this beautiful sunny day at the beach, not that I'm rubbing it in. Just these sun rises are bright.

May, a whole new month to play.

My wife is missing her puppies, but enjoying the peace and quiet here. By now my dog have probably found a way to control my son.

Tom how is your son doing? Drinking water I hope.

Talk later got to go to breakfast.

For my father's 60th birthday my brothers and I bought him an SCDA track day that got him some basic classroom training and four 25 minute sessions on the track with instructor. One of my brothers lent him his 05 Mustang GT. Was a really fun day.

He had a blast and would definitely like to do it again given access to the Mustang in the future.

Hello CT. Sorry I haven't checked in lately, I've been moving into/renovating the new house.

Andy, I hope you are over the Lyme disease?
