Looks like the wife and I will be shooting for the Thunder Valley NHRA event in Bristol, Tennessee in June!

One of my bucket list places.

L had a track meet yesterday almost an hour away. It was cold and windy. The boys team had their first loss of the season but it was rather close. Our girls team won pretty big over the other team and remain undefeated.

L's 4x400 team got first place.

Furnace is back on and doing well. Got fresh batteries in our carbon monoxide unit. I am still nervous to run it.

He has worked with units like that for years and never once had one crack. He searched for 20 minutes, showed me all throughout my furnace, called his friend in the contracting world who said he saw only a handful of units like this crack and it was always in the same spot. He goes back in with his camera and checks the area. Nothing. He clears it and its totally safe to use. He said it really sounds like someone just didn't want to clean it because those models are very hard to clean. He said we don't need to upgrade at this time though its something to think about because of the age of both units. Didn't charge us for the consultation.
You need to go scorched earth on social media on the person who said it was cracked.

One guy said it was cracked and one guy said it wasn't, I'd be getting a third opinion. That or calling the first guy back to come and show you or take pictures of the crack.

My son's game was cancelled last night as all fields were closed due to the rain damage from the day before.

A lot better. Still having some muscle weakness, but nowhere near the level it was. She wanted to go back to school today, I haven’t heard if she did or not.

My wife surprised me with some cd’s in the mail yesterday I forgot how much I enjoyed some music. The cd’s were Alice Cooper Welcome to my nightmare, Joe Jackson’s greatest hits double cd lots of good music, Hall and Oates greatest hits and Jim Croce’s greatest hits. Finished listening to the Cooper cd and started the Jackson cds but it’s time to pick up my son.

Thanks. Ran some tests just to check some stuff. Her spirits are really high right now, she found out she won the election for student body Vice President at the middle school today.

Nice only a Snapchat by the President to go wrong and she will be President.
Was gonna say "Only one heartbeat away from the Presidency" but these are kids

Boo wins round 1 again this year. Dumb birds can’t stop building nests behind a front shutter. They will probably be back.
