THE DAY BEFORE PRACTICE BROUGHT BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT MR. MARGAY AND GARY W. HAVE FORSAKEN KARTING FOR AN APPRENTICESHIP IN CONCRETE MASONRY. THE BIG TREE WHERE THE PAVED PIT PARKING NARROWS DOWN DECIDED TO LIFT UP A VERY LARGE SLAB OF CONCRETE. FOR GEEZERS THIS WAS A GUARANTEED FALL WITH NASTY RESULTS. (MY SUSPICION WAS THAT SOME SNEAKY P.I. ATTORNEY ACTUALLY SET THIS UP). WHEN I DROVE IN THE PITS, GARY WAS ON HIS KNEES TRYING TO PUT THE SLAB BACK IN PLACE AND MR. MARGAY WAS COACHING WITH A CONCERNED LOOK ON HIS FACE. THE BRAIN TRUST DECIDED THAT DRIVING OVER THE SLAB WITH MY MONSTER DUALLY WOULD PUT THE SLAB BACK IN PLACE. A COUPLE OF PASSES WITH THE DUALLY FRONT WHEEL AND FINE TUNING FROM GARY'S PICKUP PUT THE SLAB BACK IN PLACE. IF YOU SLIP AND FALL OFF THE EDGE OF THE PITS NOW IT'S YOUR FAULT NOT THE TREE'S.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE PROGNOSTICATORS THAT STATE WITH CERTAINTY THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE WEATHER WILL BE LIKE IN 80 TO 100 YEARS CAN'T GET IT RIGHT ONE WEEK OUT. (THEY KNOW THAT LIKE THE EARLIER WEATHER GURUS WHO SAID WE WOULD CURRENTLY BE IN AN ICE AGE - THEY WILL BE DEAD AND ANY BLAME FOR BEING WRONG WON'T MATTER TO THEM). THE FORECAST FOR THE RACES FOR THE ENTIRE PAST WEEK WAS THAT EVERY DAY STARTING TODAY EXCEPT SATURDAY WOULD BE DAY LONG SOAKERS WITH 80 TO 100% CHANCE OF SERIOUS RAIN. TODAY WAS DRY IN THE LOW 70S WITH NICE SUNSHINE. THE LATEST FORECAST CALLS FOR RAIN TOMORROW EVENING (AFTER PRACTICE) RUNNING THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. IF THE LATEST FORECAST IN RIGHT, THE KARTS WILL GET TO RUN ALL THREE DAYS.
