Default my first street kill.

Coming up behind me fast on the right a Saab 9000CD. Passed me to get my attention then slowed to my door, lunged forward and switched lanes. Get to a light ahead and stop. TC off. The light turns green, he gets a jump of two car lengths. , he's trying to ramp up, and within 50 yards or so the Cross blows by him and I'm just picking up speed. Never had a chance. We get to the next light, he goes left, me right and I tap my brakes twice bye-bye. I see a wave in my mirror.

thank you, shape. It was a good little story, even if the Saab wasn't a really strong opponent. It still was fun to bust him his push me.

Sounds like a good guy: no chip on the shoulder there.

My first kill was saturday morning at the Dragon (or was it Sunday?) On 28 in front of the Lodge ---- crushed a squirrel. Didn't mean to. Didn't want to.

O'man Mark that was you? It must have been Saturday because on Sunday I saw 10 or 12 of the squished squirrels friends and family at a small memorial ceremony at the scene. They looked pretty sad but don't feel too bad.........Don't lose sleep over it, it was an accident, these things happen. Maybe you could head back and drop a bag of nuts off as a peace offering....... hang in there.

So, how long will we be able to inject a Dragon memory into every thread like this?

I'm still high from the weekend!

Go ahead and enjoy it guys. I had so hoped to make the Dragon this year but I had a week long reunion in Kokomo In. last month and have another come'n up west of Detriot this month. So I'll have to wait for spring I suppose. In the mneantime I am enjoy'n tear'n up the roiads in Southeast Ohio.
We still own a condo back in Columbus and may be return'n there this year. Tis all flat and straight up there. May be for the best, I got my first "Crossfire ticket" yesterday. 75 in a 55...not too bad $139.00.
