Steve, sorry to leave you out of the loop on this one,
but what we have been doing is going over to Barry's house,
putting on the gear, and sitting on the couch watching old
Georgianna Spellman movies while handling our regulators.
This has proven to be better training for us, since you
never know when we might want to set a record. Lately, we
have even practiced spewing barbeque (from Nell's) through
the G250. Sankey is ready for the bat by this test.
Saturday, you may have heard, we added a new training
regimen. This was a combination drive and shoot competition,
where we race five laps in the go carts and then go to the
video games for the shooting while driving (a Lauderdale skill).
My brother, my son and I almost beat the dubious record of Todd
Kincaid (one lap Todd) on the second lap before the accident we
caused was so huge that we were ejected from the track. Scarabin,
now pronounced "Scary Ben" was still laughing an hour later.
