Great pics, Crash. Not being inappropriate (that's in respect to your DW), but you and all men look so good in those uniforms! You definitely had more excitement than I did today! :D

I completed legal documentation (provenance) of a painting for an insurance appraiser and attorney, so the piece can be properly willed to a racing museum upon the death of its owner.

I doubt it. :( If I'm riding Mulholland on Saturday, I probably have to work to Sunday. I'll see it I have time, though, since it's so close.
P.S. Got my license today!

I'm psychic. In fact, I'm thinking of setting up a fortune telling booth on a street corner in Glendale and reading people's palms. I can tell them about their life lines. I need the extra cash.

I can throw that silly costume and wig on when I have too. I can also speak with a thick Romanian accent. You should hear it as I put my own southern white trash spin on it so that I sound just like Dolly Parton.

02-14-08, 07:00 PM
If you wear that and talk like Dolly all day Saturday, I'll do the whole Mulholland ride!
Don't get so excited. I said the thick Romanian-southern-white-trash accent sounded like Dolly. I never said I look like her in the gypsy get up. Besides my helmet might smush the wig and those ain't cheap. $14.95 at Sav-on.

She does that anyway. At least when she gets a hard knock on the head....:p
