Hi Chris! Welcome back! Congatulations on your success at the track this past season. Are you still planning on having a meet next summer in conjunction with the track? I sure hope so!!
Glad you found a job; even if it is not what you really want. I can't count the gigs I have worked, that I didn't want, just to pay the bills....come to think of it; I really don't want any job! I just haven't figured out how to keep the creditors happy without one!
My thoughts and prayers are with your Grandfather...He sounds like a very interesting guy. Not many can say they were connected with the super secret Skunk Works. Gods speed.....
