Blech
After a decent enough day yesterday*, today has been, well, blech. Hot and humid outside. Sunburned so bad at the track I look like a minor demon, and even a few seconds' exposure to the UV out-of-doors hurts like a sumbitch. My feet hurt cuz I walked the length of the pits at least a dozen times, in my hard sandals, and my arms hurt from having to stretch out to strap the car's axles to the trailer. Nothing on TV either. So I'm either watching golf** or randomly poking through FA.
Next two days I'm dog sitting, and after THAT I can finally get the Pontiac's rear end sorted out. And get the lawn cut. But in the meantime, blech...
* We didn't have the new motor for the Chevy yet, so we took the Plymouth to Grand Bend for the Nostalgia Days event. Damned thing would NOT hook up, and if Melissa got it sideways at the start line the tires'd get into the slippery stuff and she'd have no traction for the rest of the race. Been a while since I saw a car burn rubber the whole quarter. BUT her best past was a 13.48 at 101 mph, so it wasn't a wasted day.
Unfortunately by the end of the sixth run the 440 was running pretty ragged, so we're gonna have to have a look at the carbs and plugs and maybe take a boo down the cylinders to see what's going on.

But Melissa enjoys it...
