Busy, Busy; Soggy and no racing

Well, no I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I am here, safe and sound. I had been busygetting ready for our racing/camping weekend this past weekend and with all the lists to be made and laundry and ironing to do, and plans being made, I just didn't have time to post.
Some might wonder about the safe. We have had rain for 16 out of 30 days in June. The storms this past weekend were brutal. We even had a tornado warning here in West Mifflin on Sunday!

We left to go to Lernerville Speedway on Thursday afternoon. Dean came to my work and we loaded up the camper, hooked up and were on the road shortly after 3:30. About an hour later we were at the track and found our camping spot and set up camp. Then the rain came. Then it cleared up. Friday it rained. Then it cleared up. We got some racing in on Friday nite.

Saturday, it rained and rained and rained. Bad lightning and thunder. A tree fell over in the field where people were parked right across the road from where we camped. It rained and rained and rained. If you go to Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzZPVoBI5z4 and see what the drunken idiots did to entertain themselves since there was no racing. It was very, very soggy. And in my own defense, I did not partake nor shoot the video. We found it on one of the racing message boards we visit.
They were going to try and get the race in on Sunday, but Mother Nature just would not cooperate. We packed up camp and camehome to beautiful blue skies with Simpson clouds, but that didn't last long. The sky got very dark and the wind got fierce and the annoying beeping came over the the TV to tell you to tune to channel 20. Channel 20 announced that thre was a tornado warning for our area and persons living in mobile homes should seek shelter elsewhere. We were invited to go to our neighbor's sister's house, but it was not needed after all.

Yesterday was back to theold grind, but it is yet another short week for we are closing the office at noon on Thursday to start the holiday weekend. Dean and I are taking Jordan and going camping at Raccoon Creek State Park in Beaver County. Hopefully, this weekend's weather will be better than last. We want to take Jordie to the lake to swim and play, to the playground and to the races on Saturday nite! We are going to take his tricycle and the ride on truck that Aunt Dar got him for his birthday, so he will have alot of fun. Weather permitting. Keep your fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it was next week!
