Oldies but goodies....

Here a few oldies but goodies on my ipod....

  • The Old Apartment by Barenaked Ladies
  • Good by Better Than Ezra
  • Lump by Presidents of the United States of America
  • One Headlight by The Wallflowers

There are a ton more, just not enough time...there was some really good music in the 90's. Anyway, if anyone thinks of some other good ones.

Farmington/UFC

Saturday was the race at Farmington. We ran both the Mustang and the Probe. Wish I had good news. First round of qualifying was supposed to start at 2pm but was delayed due to oil downs. We made a pretty good first qualifying run in the Mustang and decent in the Probe. We were able to get in the second qualifying run for the Probe........POURING rain delayed the remainder of the second qualifying session. By the time they got the track dry and ready for the rest of the second qualifying, the rain poured down again. This time there was so much water on the track they had to pump the water off. Finally, they were able to finish all of the qualifying but it was 11:30pm. The track announced on the PA that the rest of the race would be cancelled due to curfew. We were qualified 4th with the Mustang with a 4.05 at 184 mph to 1/8 mile. The top 8 cars consisted of 4 blowers and 4 nitrous cars. The money was split between the top 8. I guess it did work out pretty good because we got more money than we would have if we went into the semi-finals. Rain just makes for a long, nasty day.

I left after the second qualifying of the Probe. I ended up going to our friend's house, Tommy and Jennifer, to watch the UFC fight on pay-per-view. They are really into the fights. It was pretty interesting but it is so crazy what those guys can and will do. Some of those guys were HUGE. It was crazy to see this one guy get knocked out in only the second round of his fight. Almost everyone of the the fighters' ears looked crazy too....they called it cauliflower ear....pretty gross.

Sorry, this post was pretty crappy.....not really feeling it today.

Great weekend...

It was a nice long weekend for the 4th of July. Jonathan and I both had Friday off. Jonathan and our friend Rob played 27 holes at Hemlock. In the meantime, Crystal, Rob's wife, and I had lunch and then hung out by the pool. It was a nice relaxing day. I will be nice and tan when my sunburn heals. I put sunscreen on my face and shoulders. Needless to say, since I didn't put sunscreen on the rest of my chest and back, you can tell where I did put it on.

Saturday was another swim day but not as long. The four of us went swimming at the campground and then to my parents' camper for a cookout. We headed to Lewisville for the fireworks. There were so many people there. We got there at 7:20 pm and trouble finding a parking spot. It was so packed by the time the fireworks started.

Sunday we had lunch with Jonathan's family. Normally, we go go to church and then to his parents' house for lunch. Yeah, Jonathan set the alarm clock but didn't turn it on. We rented 4 movies and watched 3 of them when we got home, Quarantine, The Happening, and 12 Rounds. These were all pretty good. The Happening was kind of slow but it was a good one. We also rented Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I will probably watch this alone. Jonathan isn't really into these kinds of movies. I watch pretty much anything.

This weekend will be a race at Farmington. Hopefully, there will be good news to post. :)
