As much as I enjoy traveling, I’m over the long drives for while. 12 hours up to MI, 5 hours over the NY, 7 back to MI, 9 over to WI, 15 back to MI, 12 back to ATL. That’s way too much car time. It was a good trip (we saw both sets of rents and rode a bit), but I slept well in my own bed last night.

There is much to do on the home front. I have fits lined up for weeks and the Fool’s Gold is just around the corner. There is still a lot of little details to tend to for the FG, but it will all come together.

Jeremiah Bishop called last night to sure up the details about the race and his participation. I’ve been really impressed with him. Many other pros ask for a discounted entry or some other favor, but offer nothing in return. Jeremiah only asked that we increase the payout and he would help promote the race via his site, some press releases and make himself available for autographs at the race. I wish more racers would get this: The world owes you nothing. You have to earn it just like everyone else. Be creative, but you better have something to offer before you go asking for hand outs. This goes for sponsorship, race entries and most anything.

That’s it, I’m off to the shop to make sure all is well in my work space and get the day rolling.
