Hello All,

Just wanted to check in because I have not been around lately. I will be MIA a great part of the next few weeks. Our daughter had a bike accident Saturday evening that required a trip to the emergency room to be put back together and several appointments in the next few weeks.

She fractured her elbow. Multiply stitches in her leg in different locations. 1 large lwound missing to much tissue to suture.

Lesson learned ... you do not ride your bicycle with flip flops,no helmet , go to fast and take your hands off handlebars while watching the neighbor boy that you are infatuate with.

Well better go she is wanting a bath.

Babbs....Sorry to hear about DD's accident. I hope she heals quickly

After the race when Jimmie said Tony was a "teammate" I almost lost my lunch. So, big deal, Tony is taking/hiring one of the Hendricks engineers to be his crew chief next year......I hardly consider that being a teammate....heaven forbid Unless......the crew chief is going to still be employed by Hendrick...then that's a conflict of interest, IMO.

I dont want that bag of wind anywhere near our Jeff After Tony came in 2nd and they showed him very angry via the car cam (and really flipping out), I had to explain to my son that Tony is a sore loser, and we dont want to be associated with anyone like that.
