Good morning Jon. Another damp day around here but supposed to clear up around noon. Not a lot of rain accumulation over the past few days but it has stayed mostly warm and damp with some showers from time to time. Today it will get back up to about 60.

Will putz around in the fish room again today. Need to move the otos into another brown algae infested tank so that they can continue to dine in class.

Coffee's good. I'm enjoying my first cup now.

I'm going to meet my son and my two grandkids at an indoor R/C off road racetrack to watch them practice for a while. Then, I'm headed to a new oval track for R/C midget cars that I may soon get involved in. The same car manufacturer is coming out with a 1/18th scale winged sprint car in May. I might wait for those to come out. First, I'll see if I still have the bug to go oval racing. I enjoyed it years ago.

The cars made by "1 RC Racing LLC" are the most realistic R/C cars I've ever seen. They're pretty small at 7 1/2" and wicked fast. Can't wait to see the sprint car.

When I was selling water softeners for the plumbing shop, the installer was into the drag cars. There were guys that had 5 or 6 race cars. Some of these guys had big cases with shelves to hold all the cars. Rich built one car from the ground up with his own handmade chassis and beat them all.
