    Thanks Tim. You wanna hear something really amazing??!
    When I was twelve (1976), my mom and dad sold everything, packed up three kids into a '39 Dodge Truck and a '37 Desoto and left Erie, Pa. and drove to California! We didn't stay there long, ended up back in Erie.
    The balls to do that still amazes me. IMG_1345-1.jpg

    Thank You everyone for all the nice comments.
    It gave me such happiness to see him smiling all weekend.
    He deserved every minute of it.

    I know it's all for fun, but, for the weekend, he had 2 wins, 2 losses.
    I'm just glad I didn't give him a dog to run with, lol.
    :)
