BUSY WEEK-END FOR ALL..........

 Suzanne, Lynn and Linda went on a run up in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, something like 800 people running from 15 miles to 50 kilometers which is 31 miles...............for FUN.......!!!  They all finished their distances they signed up for, said it was a tough trail, lots of up and down, rocks and even people on bicycles to contend with.  

But look what followed them home, 2 very pretty donkeys.  They were suppose to pick Lola and Merlin up sometime soon and decided to just make one trip, which actually worked out really well.  

Merlin and Lola

  

                       This is the welcoming committee or at least part of it.

Harley and Ziggy checking them out this morning.  

 

We'll probably let them out tomorrow or the next day to meet everyone and get to explore Burroland.  They've been in a dry lot, so that might be pretty exciting for them.
 

So while they were gone, John and I went to the end of the year NASCAR banquet to get my trophy.  Of course Covid had to come into play about 48 hours before the festivities.  Because of Covid we weren't going to have the banquet in one of the casinos in Tucson like they usually do, it was going to be outside at the track with everyone wearing masks.  So the country decided to add some more "rules" at a late date.  Only 50 people at a time could attend.  They've had up to 300 people at a banquet in the past and there is a couple of families that could probably have 50 just as relatives there.  

 

So they had to divide us up into 4 groups, each group had 45 minutes to get in, eat, hand out trophies, take pictures and get out.  LOL  John and I were in the 2nd group and we went in almost 30 minutes late and were grateful we weren't the last group......!! LOL  I guess it was like doctor's appointments, you want to be early morning, or right after lunch because as the hours pass, appointments get longer and so do the waits.  The track actually did a pretty good job jumping thru hoops, they could have just told us to come by the track and pick up our trophies.  

This is a 4th place trophy and it is 3 feet tall...!!!  One year a friend of ours got a 2nd or 3rd place trophy and we had to dismantle it to get it in the trunk of a Lincoln and they have big trunks.....!!! LOL

I guess the dirt track is having problems, buying the track isn't going smoothly, so we don't know if it will be operating in the spring.  The asphalt track says the Hornets will be racing next year, but we haven't seen anything in writing or the rules.  

I've got my fingers crossed that there will be racing for the Hornets someplace next season.  Dirt of course would be my choice, but after 6 years racing asphalt, I can live with asphalt again, dirt would just be more fun.
