I'm not saying you shouldn't keep your kids safe. Hell, I freak out when my nephew who is 4 years old eats with a real fork and doesn't sit on the chair properly at the dinner table. I couldn't imagine letting him go for a ride on a 120mph outerlimits boat.
I was just saying today is different times. You probably don't see it as much as up this way, with all the soccer moms driving around texting and facebooking while their three year old is strapped in their baby seat while they feel 80mph in traffic is safe. But that's the same girl who will pump her kids full of organic cereals and vitamins, and freak out if little Joshua forgot to put his knee pads on while riding his big wheel. Safety sells. Too bad common sense wasnt available for purchase at Target.

I just got back from having to give a buddy a ride to Chesterton, Indiana. His semi truck broke down out there today. Anyhow, they put a ban on tractor trailers on the toll road, from the state line to south bend tonight. Even my car was blowing around quite a bit.
Before I went home, I decided to take a cruise over to 39th st. and the lakefront. Let me tell ya, I couldnt barely even get the car door open. I then walked towards the seawall thru the grassy area, 60mph sustained wind with rain pelting me in the face, stepped right into a puddle of mud a few inches deep, as i really couldnt see with the wind/rain. My new nike's liked that. Went and stood on top of some concrete structure about 100ft from the seawall. It really was something to see. The lake showed no mercy tonight thats for sure. If you fell in you wouldnt last but maybe a minute, topps.

I think Ryan will be my date. I may have a new job venture going this winter season, so only that will get into the way of me coming, should something arise.

Just got both Yamahas home tonight....
I'll most likely be running up to Coloma to grab the Ski-Donkey and bring it back to Andrew's on the day of the party.
All three started...no dead batteries this year. I missed them.
