So, I still haven't gotten around to buying my wife anything for Valentine's Day. Honestly I don't think I have gotten around to buying her anything for the last three Valentine's Days...
Anyhow, sweetie, I just wanted to tell you I love you!
And to everyone else if you see no posts after this one, well, you now know why...

The Force is strong...
You know me - I am a car guy. I love 'em. I love anything do with them. My favorite car oriented sport has to be land speed racing, but my oldest favorite is drag racing!
Ok, I admit I used to partake in the "not so" sanctioned drag racing events held on the county roads of my home town (my mother just just got light headed). Oh come on mom - you thought different? Man, I loved my Nova... :D
Anyhow, back to what I was saying... drag racing. I love when February rolls around. Pomona, CA the air is thick with nitro and the roar of supercharged motor through open headers! I'm talking about the Winternationals! This year was great, because one of my favorite guys, John Force, was back in the seat.
John Force had a pretty serious wreck last year in TX and his career was kinda up in the air.
But he was back and did fairly well. In the first round of eliminations he went up against Tony Pedregon AND that was an awesome race! Tony exploded. It burned so bad it went through the fire suit. Check out the clips of that on nhra.com .
John didn't win the Winternationals, but he is back. And he is strong. Keep your eye on him again this year.
Oh yeah and hunny... there are only 23 more races this season.

We’ve adopted!
Don’t get excited mom – it’s not what you think…
I have this bad habit of falling for ones that nobody wants anymore.
Don’t get mad hunny – it’s not what you think…
What I mean is I seem to be drawn to the cars that people either loose interest in or I feel that they have “ruined” in someway. Well here awhile back a “new addition” found her way to our house. She needs some work and a few things changed, but here she is:

Hangin' with Hef...
So I arrive home today and open the mailbox and one of two things floored me.
1. My mail did not look like the mailman ran it over, cleaned up his Carl's Jr. lunch with it, wadded it into a ball, and then trew it into my mailbox from across the street.
2. Second, and I am sure the reason for #1, was there was a naked woman smiling back at me!?!
I know, I know - seems that now that I am a homeowner I am on everyone's mailing list and it was a post card from Playboy. I thought it was kind of funny so I took it inside and left it on the counter from Shannon. She obviously did not share my amusement and even questioned me on it. Seems she think I may have something to do with it... like I am on a one on one with "the Hef".
Hunny - honestly it is because of the house, I swear.
Hef - if you read this I will be over a week from Saturday. Give Bridget a hug and kiss for me.

New Year Resolutions
Wow, who came up with this concept? All I know is that each year they just prove to me, as well as millions of others, just how much we lack the will power to see something accomplished. Don’t believe me? See for your self. Here is a peek into just a few of mine from over the years…

2007: Find out what the New York Times Best Sellers is this year.

Enjoy a hobby:
