Working to get ready to head down south

I made a long trip to go see Holly in Colorado.  She had a lot of work to do for her officer training class.  I took Mini and Carmen to bingo while Holly was at class.  Then we would take her out to eat.  Mini and Carmen stayed at the hotel and i sleeped at Holly's apartment.  We went to see the Garden of the Gods and to the Air Force Academy to see the chapel.  It was just beautiful.  check pictures on shutterfly.  We were they till Thursday p.m. , then we left to go to Branson,Mo.  We visited Carmen's brother there.  Stayed 1 night and went to breakfast.  Then left to come back to Sterling.  Jim wanted me back so we could go to Grant's baptism on Sunday.  Got home on Saturday night, then got up the next morning to go to Lincoln for the baptism.  We then headed home grabbed a bit to eat.  We came home to Delila and just chilled out.  Today Jim went to Chadwick to work on the car and i stayed home.  He came home and then took me to run some errands.   So now we are watching Dancing with the Stars.  Stay comfortable my friends.  WW

Jim is making me sick !!!!

Tuesday i went with Mini and Carmen to Peru to Big Lots to shop for some Red Hat stuff.  They dropped me off then Jim wanted me to help him with the car.  With all the fiberglass and smoke in the garage just kicked my asthma in big time.  Thought we were going to make a trip to the e.r..  Today we went to Cordova to see Scott and Laura  got Maverick's  plague  says " CDP  56 World Series   Start of the 3rd Generation. "   I guess that's  great because he has the only Crownhart car that is able to race.  Then we stopped to see Mike to get some Jr. dragster spare parts.  Came back i went to Mini to get Holly stuff together to take to her this week.  And get the Mexico stuff together.  So stay cool my friends.  Jim and WW

Repairs !!!

Saturday Jim worked on the body of the car.  I didn't do to much, still trying to get rid of this cold.  Had to run some errands and hit a few rummage sales.  Then went to my friend Isabel's to pick up some bikes that she got for me.  Took them to the bike guy to check them out and made a deal with him to get 3 more bikes from him at the end on the month.  Sunday we went to church then to breakfast.  Came home to drop Jim off to work on the body again!  Mini and I went to Chicago to go see Tiffany.  Saw her apartment, cute place.  I am so proud that she decided to get it.  She took us to a Whole Wheat store Mini went nuts in there.  Then we went to meet some of her friends and had a good time there.  We will make another trip up there to see her.  Today we are going to the parade in Rockford.  Stay cool my friends.  Jim and WW

Too Much Going On !!!!

How do i start?  April, Maverick and Delani made it in on Wednesday 11:30 p.m. took them to Cordova.  Thursday and Friday went to Sterling to get some things done and get groceries for the weekend.  Maverick had to start racing early Saturday a.m. that was good he was getting antsy about racing.  We were getting ready for our 1st run Saturday night .  We ran Dan,  at the end of the run Jim flew by the end of the track and into the sandpit.  Only about 160 m.p.h.  Dan had taken out Jim's chute and he didn't know till it was to late, for the reverse to pop out sooner.  Rolled the car over and did damage to  it.  Luckily Dan took out the chute because it saved him from hitting the wall head on,  but broad sided it instead.  He totally out his car.  But, we have to must damage that we can't go to Canada this weekend  ( that sucks it was going to be a  great weekend to).They are both fine and the safety crew did an excellent job on getting the guys out.  Sunday Maverick won 1 and 2 round in the Jr dragster but, couldn't make 3rd round because they had to catch the plane back to Georgia.  Stayed at Cordova till Monday p.m. then came to Sterling to clean the chassis on the car.  Then left Thursday to the Quad Cities to get the chassis fixed.  Had a few things to fix on it, more then what we thought.  Now its fixed,  have to get the engine cleaned and fix the body.  So, now we are in Sterling again to do some more work to it, so we can get going racing again.  Just love  that Gypsy life.  So may friends will try to keep up on this.  Stay cool  Jim and WW
