Shanny,

Tell me how hot it was!!! I had my oil changed and tires rotated the other day, I'm on my way to the track, here a vibration on the north way, get off at 13N to route 9 to the track. It's under construction 2 narrow lanes at 35 MPH brilliant planning to not have it finished by track season, my F'in right front wheel falls off, no shoulder, 1130, 90 minutes till the first race and I have one lane blocked in a construction zone. Traffic was backed up for miles, triple AAA and the state police got there fairly quickly and I was on the flat bed truck by noon. I had the tow driver drop me off at the harness track and I hoofed it from there with 4 lawn chairs and a cooler!!!! I was a little bit hot to say the least. Not to mention the F bomb tangent I went off on my guy at the only garage I've had all my personal and business vehicles serviced at for 15 plus years.

After all that Jimbo was texting and calling me saying WTF are you, he was about 20 feet away. After my adventure I knew the tire not falling off on the highway was my luck for the day. Today's cashers were a saver pick 3 that paid $36 in a sequence I invested $136 and the scratch of the 8 horse in the 10th. That's 2 more tickets than Jimbo cashed! Magic night stopped by flashing his media pass now that he is famous! Uncle Bill and TGAB got there for the last 2 races.

UGLY day back at them tomorrow with the pressure on TGAB at the seminar to help bail the boys out after a BAD opening day.

I'm really wondering what I'm doing wrong in life? We got rear ended on the way to the Belmont. My front wheel falls off on opening day, I tipped the tow driver generously, put my traditional opening amount in the veterans bucket outside the gate and got back ZERO from the karma Gods!!!!

Better days ahead,

Frank D.
