Just had some very bad news.  Those of you that now me well know that my mom is dieing, that is to be expected, she has cancer and is almost 88 years old.  The bad news is that a customer, friend and fellow motor minded thrill seeker has died this weekend.  My good friend Augie was into flat track motor cycle racing 500cc Yamahas, and we would talk about how stupid it was for us "old" guys to be into racing at our age and laugh about it all the time.  Sat. night in Sanoma he went down on a turn and had a few other fun guys run into him and that was the end of Augie's fun.   Well I don't race motorcycles but I am building a dragster, which is now done by the way, and it makes you think when a fellow thrill seeker is killed..... the last thing I am going to tell you folks is to stop doing dangerous things because in my mind that is what makes life worth while, but I am going to tell you that life is shorter than you think so make sure you are right about what is important.  I hope you all know the lord as I do, it dosn't make you perfect but it does give you piece of mind and forgiveness.  I am going to drive my FED at 150 - 180 mph and love it!  If God wants me he will take me just as easy slipping in a bath tub.  I know where I will be in the end, I hope you all do too.  God Bless!

   God Bless.   Tim                           http://yblockguy.com/
