Jetfixrs newest toy

You two are the funniest thing I have ever read, both of you keep me cut up all day long. Here we were setting up for a 'friendly' husband/wife Challenge (I bet you still havent told her yet and I am still at a lost how it got there as well but....) and in pops Bruce and splits this down the Mississippi line calling for an East/West Challenge..... no small feat to cut the country in half but never underestimate the power of his home brew white lightin.... and I have a day job!

Lets set the record straight....

* I cant even eat the salsa at Taco Bell... You remember how Fred grabbed his chest???
* I am highly jealous of you having a life where there is time for a hayride! My annual (every 35 years weather I need it or not) DR. visit where that lady had her way with me came with a suggestion of Red Wine... Odd suggestion after the procedure's, I was looking for a smoke! And this weekend I am the one driving the tractor pulling the hay trailer... with the wine. Time for a cup holder on the Ferguson, Im learning slowly.
* Racers tape and work pants... we are cut of the same mold!
* That coffee can is full of horseshlt.... nothing else. I figure its easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission from the boss. Someones Ferrari will remain engineless and she will be piss'd.
* Your point of 'one' that uses cars as wall art and the other with a weird obsession with snorkels, Omni's and high tech Still's..... Yup, those two bear watching but for different reasons than you state! There are special wards just for those types, how much trouble can a couple of milktoasts like that be?

It was just too much for Bruce to read and once the clay jug was uncorked he called and asked if I had lost my mind regarding letting Nostalgia get in the way of a race. As all of the race cars I have ever build are Completely Stock in every respect and all rules always followed to the letter.... there is no reason for concern. Now.... about my driver, she is up to the task I hope, dont go playing any mind games with her now.

There is a wonderful artical written many years ago by Yunick regarding the difference between "Cheating" and "Cheatin". Rules said the gas tank could only hold 22 gallons, never said anything about the 6 gal fuel line, what the rollbar would hold, the fire bottle, the hollow seat tracks and frame rails..... but a PT6....damn! Some part of the car needs to be Ferrari... there are rules!

 

Well, torn jeans and a belly ache is just the way it is when your self-employed...

An old guy told me once that if you don't have nerves fried, a belly ache, **** fire water, and stare at the ceiling all night it's very likely that you don't work hard enough and therefore do not define the word "entrepreneur"..That is why nearly all of my very best friends are up to 40yrs older than I, they provide great advice!!!....Much of this work ethic is gone, thats why we have "a" problem, the "old guys" had it right....

Every customer I have has a personal assistant and two phones growing out of each ear, care to guess what they flew in on?????

Point is,,,,,, Dave's remark about the salsa, Gary and his a$$ problem, and bruce with his Snorkel issue tells me I'm hangin with a good hard workin crew....

When Bruce drew the East/West line it was a welcome challenge. Guys like us FEED on such things...A monster will be in the making.....If we can get Gary to tape up his bag holder.......WTF!!!!!!

 

Here is a compendium of my milktoast thoughts and ideas to answer all who think I'm ready for the looney bin...

I'm really a backwoods redneck...just need a Rebel Flag

PT6? Is that all you got? I'm all about arriving in style...

Keepin it stock? What does that have to do with having FUN...

Annoying the neighbors? That's a no brainer...Senior and Junior always work as a team for maximum effect.

This should leave no doubt to anyone that I'm a sober sane member of society.

 

Keyboard, screen, paperwork on the desk...all gone! Gary with the tape... thats it, I am worthless for the day now! Yup, our folks did it right. Our generation... we came up with the bus I passed on the way in... talk about WTF?

One lit up old dust farting cuss makes a Challenge and now what have we got? Damn Bruce, what have you done....dig up the coffee can.

Damn... they will need a special ward just for you!

This evening I will post a photo of the wind surffer board behind the barn with the wheels mounted to it..... A bugger to get going but once hooked up I found the neighbors fence.

If it has wheels.... race it!

 

Kinda sorta remember this bus...isn't that the one you kicked me under to figure out how they ran the exhaust pipes?

And what is up with you having me stand in the middle of US HWY 36 to get a bug count on the grill of that PeterBuilt truck doin 80mph? I counted 2 before everything went black.

We need to have a talk about just exactly what it is that I'm to contribute to this project besides my body parts.

We need some sponsors just to pay my medical bills.

If you keep this up I won't be able to stay sober or sane....or even alive.

And NO I'm not goin to test your windsurfer again...that fence hurt me big time.

Yep...the fxr boys with that big bank roll know "NO LIMITS"....

You'll be singin a different tune when the showdown gets down..

I don't know where to start... As I still have not figured out how to do the point by point quote reply (someone teach me!)...

Here I thought the wind surfer would be a novel (one has to be 'Green') way to check fence in the pasture, that ended up credited with a knee brace for 5 months.... I had wheels, a wind surfer from the MN days and constant 40MPH winds... it seemed an obvious match. A sled, a set of stairs and a flag pole... not sure what to do with that. On the other hand... I do want photo's of the brass pole mounted (so to speak) in Flyboys office. Bet that would be an office to have meetings at!

The Meeting.... The Fxr Bro's, a snorkel crazed lunatic from GA with a tent in WY, an over the hill gray hair with a limp from CO and a bar.... and with this we are going to come up with rules and goals for a race?! A lot of things will come from a meeting such as this but rules and goals??? We will have to talk the ladies into holding the camera taking pic's of these flat landers trying to leave the bar at 9000 ft altitude.

The line has been drawn, the old racing adage "Where Excess was Barely Adequate" has already been exceeded by vast amounts if you can believe the first liar at the bar... I believe we might just have a race in the making. Your going to poke yer eye out with that Jelly Bean! Bruce... start digging for the coffee can, we are going to need help!

 

With no rules present I am not sure if that is Cheating or Cheatin.

The multi use coat rack of course.

We may just have found a workable solution that would be an easy sell. I have now lived long enough to be a PITA to my kids and leave the shop in Niki's hands for a week long Business meeting such as this. Bruce needs only to recruit someone to keep the Still fire stoked for his time away. Can the Fxr families accomplish such a feat? Now... what island has a stable enough Gvmnt that it could handle such a meeting yet tolerate multiple Moped races daily? If there are wheels and old racers are present.... there will be a race.

I just read a news article that my director of Race Team Fund Raising (RTFR is a division of GFRT) but one of many impotent titles he holds... Bruce is already on top of it. Seems there is a Brit across the pond paying big money to Streak our Prez at a gathering and Bruce is snugging up the lacing up his trusty Red Ball Jets high tops already. He should be released in plenty of time to make the business meeting on the island. Is he a Team Player or What?!

 

I look east out of the window next to my desk..... Bruce, wake up dammit, those cheatin buggers started testing early.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I was up before you. Trying to find the right location for doin the full Monte...a million dollars will just about cover our expenses..which includes a little shopping trip to keep Kris and Nikki occupied and out of our way.

Those fxr boys are headed in the wrong direction...

RULE #1: The challenge is for planet earth...the Moon and Mars are not sanctioned for either testing or this event.

RULE#2: All vehicles must have four wheels and the wheels must remain in contact with the racing surface during the entire event.

RULE #3: ALL RULES must be ink printed on water bonded high quality paper.....no scribbling on bar napkins will be permitted.

RULE: #4: Any rules agreed upon while being at a bar, and while in the process of becoming intoxicated, will be subject to review at the next bar meeting. ALL rules agreed upon must be done so by a full concesus of all present...if anyone is at the point of being unable to communicate verbally, a head nod or slur will be considered as concurring with the majority.

NOTE: Totally intoxicated members of the rules committee will not be exempt from adheance to the rules by passing out. If at any time,all those present become incoherent the meeting will reconvene at a new bar location the following day.

RULE #5: There will be a dress code for each meeting...this code will be established by the first stripper who gives a lap dance to the rules committee chairman. NOTE: Selection of this chairman will be based on marital status...since I'm the only one who is single that would be ME!!!!!!!

RULE #6: Strippers will have the right to cast a vote in case of a tie. HOWEVER, this vote must be cast in private. Said privacy shall be deemed adequate when done in your hotel room.

RULE #7: No cameras or video shall be permitted during the course of any rules meetings...this includes any hidden cameras in the hotel room.

EXEMPTION: Pictures and videos will only be allowed for blackmail purposes and can be used also to settle any disputes whether on or off track.
