20+mph winds from the north, no thanks! I'd call them before you head out, they like to cancel without much notice.

Ya, Eddyville is having test and tune this afternoon so I'm going there instead. If things go good and I feel up to it I'll go to cfr tonight.

That wedding wouldn't happen to be taking place at a church off of 31st and grand downtown would it?

I'm pretty much open tonite, I think i tore my left rotator cuff (shoulder tendon or something) and my shoulder hurts like a bitch, but I'm game for something, somewhere.

I ran pretty consistent at 10.3x last year with a 150 shot. I just got back from making a couple passes at Eddyville with a 200 shot. First pass had to get out of it got real loose and almost got introduced to the wall. Second pass wasn't bad ran 6.64 spinning at the top of every gear. Then, I got the boot!

I'm going to check plugs and if everything looks ok then I might head to CFR anyway...try to get booted from two tracks in one day

And a quick 1st through 4th pull. Disregard the coughing at the end.
