And..............It's Raining

Well, we woke up this morning to rain....again. The desert has gotten so much rain this year I hope we have wild flowers. It is cold and nasty today, good day for a book and a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, I have to work.

We went to the race in Fontana over the weekend and it was a blast. Drove down on Saturday and spent the night and then got up and went to the race Sunday morning. It was a nice day-overcast and not to cool-just right. We just hung out at the track and looked at all the crazies and listened to the music. They had 3 live bands, all regional, except for Gavin Rossdale from Bush. They played last. It was a nice day. We ate a big fat King Taco burrito at the track. They are so good. Carne Asada in homemade flour tortillas with pinto beans and cilantro and onions. They have the best salsa soooooo hot. It is worth the trip just for the burritos.

For the first time EVER we didn't buy any Gordon stuff. We did buy two blow up cushions for our fat butts to sit on (and they were amazing). It finally turned off a little cold just after the race started at 3:00 pm. They only ran 6 laps when they called a caution for rain. We about had a fit. The last time we were in CA for the race we sat in the pouring rain for two hours freezing to death until they called rain delay and ran the race the next morning. But even though there were several other cautions for rain, they finally got the race finished and it was a great race. Exciting down to the end. MAatt Kennseth won and Jeff took 2nd. Every time Jeff would get the lead he would pit and his pit crew would jack him in the pits and he would lose 1 or 2 spots. It was so frustrating!!! It is crazy. My whole neck and back is sore today for being tense. I even have to remind myself to breath I get so wound up in it. I LOVE IT.

We drove home after the race and it wasn't too bad. We got home about 12:30 am and we were just starting to get real tired. That bed felt good and 6:00 am came too early. Now next week is the Vegas race. Can't wait. GO GORDON!
