Cort, this year hasn't been really all that memorable.

Yes, I did get to attend my first Rolex series Race at Watkins Glen, and Super Chevy Show. But it wasn't like in past years. Started out with having my tooth surgically removed, I hardly got so see my friends, the local friends I had drifted away leaving me to find other things to do. I spent most of my weekends watching racing on TV or racing my slot cars. We hardly went to any shows over the summer, did most of them in the fall, never made it to any cruises and then the passing of my Grandmother kind of made me depressed the rest of this year. Heck I'm even having a lousy year on the rifle team!

Really hoping next year is better
