Zilla, just wanted to say I hope your feeling better and on the mend.
Retiring can be good and bad, I am sure it will work out for you.
It took me a while to get used to it after working for so many years.
But I am getting a handle on it as you will too!

I went to 4 days a week starting in June. Next year I plan to go 2 days a week. My fear is that I will need to go back to work full time in order to get a break from working so hard in retirement. :D :D

Thanks guys.

Definitely not the way I wanted to retire, but sometimes God makes our decisions for us.

At 41. Weather is gorgeous. 74° and a crosswind of about 12mph.

First pass off the trailer 12.71@103.

She sounds angry. :mrgreen:

The 1/8 split was 8.006. Still haven't made the 7s.

Made 2 more passes, failed to get enough heat in the motor and stumbled going on the 2 step. Went 12.89 and 12.80, both again at 103.

Next stop Clay City.

With my other motor putting a normal sized human in the car was worth a little over .2 in the 1/8th.

Greg, always happy to grab a lane with ya. :mrgreen:

No one ever said you were a normal human Dennis.
Above average, but not normal!
Big man casts a big shadow.
