A little about the road...more to come




Most weekends from February to mid-November I am one of the gypsys on the travelling circus called NASCAR. I work as a technician in the tape room, which really doesn't use much tape anymore. It's all gone digital and the tape machines are basically Tivo machines on steroids. Tough to explain, really, to make a long story short, I do replays.

This is how the circus lays out, typically:



The big black "Caterpillar" trailer at the bottom is the generator that powers the whole show....it could power the whole track including lights and everything if necessary.

I'm new at this...so we'll just have to see





I thought this might be a fun way to let my friends and family know what is happening in my life, share a picture or two, and maybe joke once in a while. All this without having to call, e-mail, or write a letter....lazy? Maybe. In addition, it could turn into a outlet for venting frustrations or blowing my own horn....whatever is on my mind, or whatever is happening around me. Where it will actually go, I don't know.
