Stupid Yet Upbeat

T-minus three weeks from the final throw down of the season, The Treasure Valley Rally.
Way back when, before the season started I proclaimed that I'd be racing as an elite this season.  As you all know, that didn't happen but I didn't want to totally welch on my promise so I've decided to register elite for the TVR.  My only hope of doing well is that the race is so late in the season that all of the fast guys will probably be off racing cross somewhere so Alby, Will and I can take the top three.  I'm going to need any help that I can get cause I'm in worse shape than earlier in the season when I knew I wasn't quite up to snuff to play with the big boys.  All this shit is what good stories are made of.

I've been filling my days with all sorts of good stuff recently.  One of those stuffs is Brynna has started taking ballet lessons.  That's her in the black because she always has to be different.



I've also been making mad progress on my home trails.  I've essentially given up running in the mornings now in favor or 30-40 minutes of trail work each day.  I don't get far in each session but it is making a difference and a couple more days will get me pretty close to having a fun new section ready for the next time the Bathers come by (probably next week).

That's all I have time for today.  Peace.

Who says we're not fast?

Me! No actually, that was an "at least I'll still finish in the top 3" thought.

plus, we're all friends so we might come up with a gentleman's agreement...

No shit Will! You kicked it at the VT50. If that ain't fast...

wait a second. based on your vt50 finishes I'm rethinking this whole thing. I just registered for sport vet.

Rutland Times:

A scantily clad body was found in a wooded area locally. Officials have not released the individuals name - but he was reportedly a good looking athletic man from Maine.

The body was covered with tire tracks and a CO2 canister found lodged sideways up his ass - rendering local authorities to believe the death was due to foul play. Authorities also found a gerbil - but would not comment on it's origin.

Wow, that's twisted. Alby, what the hell happened to you at the 50? Someone told me that you got off course. Rick, based on Alby's last couple of performances I've been a part of, we shouldn't have to worry. He'll disappear off course at some point.
PS - I'm already enjoying the off season and I'm planning a Red Sox-like collapse for the TVR.

yeah, that's two references to my sexiness in the last week. I won't be camping with him anytime soon.

Yeeahh... I have no idea how I missed the LH turn off the main road about 2 miles from the finish. Mcksuckity-suck. Maybe daydreaming of Rick?? Time should have been right around 4:50.
