ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!!

What a fast and crazy week this has been. I seriouslly can't believe it's just one week away! I'm excited as can be! I'm ready too! I've planned and my friends are right there with me to help make this happen for the kids of ACH!!

Ironman, Ironmaiden, Yale, Razz, Mark, Robb-o, Keith, Jo, JBar, JMar, Shawdawg, Shawkitty, Rabiddawg, Coach Mark, DWonn, Patrick, Jenny, Brandon, JohnEEE, Paul, Mike, Charlie, Carti Training riders, ABC riders, BACA riders and the will go for miles... to all of you, thanks for getting me here... now y'all ready to go for a little ride?!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!

This is taper weekend so not going to be doing a lot of riding. I've spent every free minute working details and going over details and plans and redoing, etc etc... I've got the equipment I need for the most part for the night section of the ride thanks to my buds! I have to make another list this weekend and start a pile somewhere of the stuff that will be going.

Terri is in Ft Smith right now and even staying in the same hotel we are going to. She is the convention director/planner for their associations summer convention. The weird thing is that it has been raining in Ft Smith most of the week but nice pretty much everywhere else. A sprinkler broke next to the secretary's room on the 3rd floor and flooded her room. Bet Terri will be ready to get home and crash a minute or two. I miss her.

Emily showed interest in the bike races last night when she came to get me. She even wants to go back when we return from FL. I think that's cool that she has an interest in it. I think the guys coming up to register liked having her sitting at the table too. HA!

So what's the plan for the weekend?? Well tomorrow night I get a buzz haircut. It might be the shortest I've ever had. Shock and awe for the ride! HA! Then I head over to American Pie for a club get together. Saturday morning I'm taking my time getting started. I might not go out to ride until 8 or 9. Just a big circle from the house to the river and back. Then I'll work around the house/yard and Terri should get back around dinner time so I'll unload the stuff at her office if that's the plan and then she'll crash. When she returns from a convention she usually crashes hard and fast.

Oh, I get the air card for the laptop so I'll try and do some video and photo uploading with the card. Should be really cool.

The jerseys are selling like wildfire! Everyone is saying they are the coolest jersey they've ever seen. That means a lot to me.

I'll write more this weekend and put some video and photos in for your viewing pleasure.
