Hurry up and get those stickers on you whore.

Unfortunately that's where I'm at right now. Thankfully I have a supportive wife and if I find the right PT gig that will let me focus on developing the photo biz, I have the green light. In 2002 I left one bank for another bank based on a recommendation from someone I mistakenly trusted. Eight months later was out of job 10 days before my oldest was born. Not fun telling my wife that when she was that close to her due date. Took a temp gig working in retail. A job I never would wish on my worst enemy.

My reward to 12 months of hard work! Now if the weather would cooperate I'd be much happier.

I refuse to grow up!

Thanks MJ. Yeah, feel just a bit better. Rewarding myself with a new MTB this week. I wanted to pick it up Saturday but my better half needed me to take over kid duty so she could get some stuff done. Ever since my weigh in I've gotten a bigger fire lit under my ass to get the next 20 lbs. If anyone in Cleveland needs a trainer, I have a place I'd recommend in a heartbeat.

Got my ass handed to me by my trainer Friday night and Saturday morning. Saturday was bright and early at 0700 for a session that my trainer had to skip on me since she was in Vegas for her birthday. Decided that it was time for a weigh-in. Down just shy of 70 Lbs in 12 months. 20 in the last three months! 20 to go to hit my goal! have a 2 mile race next Saturday and took advantage of the early morning workout and ran the course I have to run next Saturday. Dropped two minutes off of my training run times. It's unreal to think that I lost more weight than my oldest kid weighs!

That's the plan. Only 25 lbs to go yet.

Yup new MTB for Nelson, Pitt and Putnam. Hope to get the bike this weekend but it depends if I'm still alive. Get my a$$ handed to me today and tomorrow by my trainer and then have to do some training runs for next Saturdays run. If you don't hear from me by Monday please make sure I'm still alive.

Now you went a messed up a perfectly good thread with lousty NASCRAP-movie related stuff.

And don't forget there's one kick-ass photographer in the group. Just can't remember that idiot's name:D

congrats.

Congrats KK. Wouldn't give up fatherhood for anything!

John, how do I make reservations for the Casa de John at Grattan?

Only for you John!

Hope to see more of you out at an event this year!

If I would have gotten enough warning about Jennings I could have gone (just would have had to bribe the wife).

usually on track around 5:00ish and off when you can't see through the carousel.

Both

Depending on the job situation I'l either drive up late Friday (5pm) or if all goes to place I'll be hitting the road around 2:00pm. I was going to be there both Saturday and Sunday.

don't be hating now John just 'cause you're jealous. I'd love not to have to haul the chateau up to MI.

You guys staying overnight at the track? Debating if I want to haul up the trailer or not.

About time you quit sandbagging!

I think that I'll have to head north that weekend.

Stebel Nautilius Air Horn (140db). Have one on my street bike.
