It's been rain free today, so far. Strong wind from the south.

Re: Yee-Haw It's Damned Hot Houston in September: Who's In?

Then we must have gotten it all. The creek near my house which usually is something resembling a trickle has overflowed its banks and the nearby park is totally underwater right now, trees going down left and right. It's crazy considering how dry it's been here lately. I was about to drag out the soaker hoses to keep the soil near the house from getting too dry. Instead, I had to run to Harbor Freight and pick up a submersible pump to keep the pool from overflowing earlier this afternoon. Weather Underground is showing that we've gotten about 5.25" of rain today.

We need a cool paddock bicycle if anyone has one but really want a Pimp Paddock Judge Mobile.
It would be worth your time and effort.

Re: Yee-Haw It's Damned Hot Houston in September: Who's In?

Would said bike be returned?

I'm down....

That said, if anyone in Dallas wants to hit up a happy hour somewhere, I am in.

Humperdinks in Arlington by six flags is pretty much the center of the metroplex on the map.

Well, I'm all packed. See you guys in Houston. Since the Team Flying Wrench is no-more, I'm joining some friends in a piece of crap Mazda disguised as a van.

If this Dallas based team happy hour thing happens down there, we'd be in. In fact, if we did it up here some random weekend, I'd be willing to host it at the shop (read: we have a kegerator). We're only about 25 minutes from that Humperdinks.

Will it be possible to get into the gates late thursday so we don't have to sleep on the side of the driveway? 

Mara and I will likely arrive around 12:30-1:00 with the ambulance

IIRC, they locked the gates around 10pm. If you were in, you could stay in, and I think you could go out. But no going in after that.

Re: Yee-Haw It's Damned Hot Houston in September: Who's In?

I am getting zero work done.  I even just went out in the parking lot and made sure the android app "Trackmaster" was working so I can have an in-car lap timer.  My co-workers who looked out the window probably wondered why I was walking aroung the parking lot in a 100 foot circle, and if they follow me on twitter, why they were getting automated tweets that said "Lap 1 0:59 Powered by Trackmaster" "Lap 2 0:57 Powered by Trackmaster"

Ugh.  I have been working to get to MSR for 26 straight hours now.  In Dallas for a quick shower, grab Mara and the race gear and head down.

We had a trailer buried in 2 feet of mud from the rains, a trailer with 2 defective tires and a bad brake drum and bearing.  A parts guy who couldn't order the correct gaskets if his life depended on it and 3 cars to finish with pretty much just 2 mechanically inclined people.

The B12 shot I got from my doc helped but I am beat.

The Dauphine is ready though and will be there in about 4 hours.

How late is the track open today?

Like I told Tommy, if you guys think of anything you forgot, let me know and we will pick it up on the way.  I am leaving San Angelo at 5pm and should get to the track about 1am.  Just text me 9seven2 795-79 ten.
