Found a Peanut...
Remember that peanut song you sung as a kid? You know, the one that goes on-and-on adnauseum? Well, so did my fellow Volleyball teammates in high school... enough so, I earned the nickname "peanut" for the rest of that season from my loud vocal rendition all the way home from our victorious game against New Symrna Beach (a good 90 minute ride on the old cheese wagon).
So maybe it was Cosmic Kharma come back to haunt me this weekend...
You see, after living in the deep south for the past 2 years, I've started assymilating to local culture a bit. My sisters make fun of my newly acquired redneck vocabulary, things like "fixin' to" and "ya'll". I eat breakfast every morning at a fine little country kitchen called Fat Freddie's, where they know my order before I walk up to the counter and they ask why I'm late if I overslept. And the latest sign that I might be turning into a redneck: my obsession with the Smitty's boiled peanut stand. $5 for a slap-full 5 gallon freezer bag of steamin' hot peanuts, served up from what looks like a WWII cauldron and old tin ladle. Well, while at the track on Saturday, the guys and I (and I swear they helped) downed the bag of Smitty's as well as 2 more Big Gulp styrofoam cups full of Generic Brand X Hot (jalepeno) peanuts from a track vendor (there is no rival to Smitty's). Well, I don't know if it was the spicy peanuts, or as Josh said, the fact that I ate "a 5 gallon bucket full" (which I emphatically deny), but I have never been sicker come Sunday morning. Peanut Kharma back to haunt me?
Well, this weekend I got to play around a little in Dan's Fulton N2O equipped 10.5 car... since I've never driven a true clutch car (as in the fast kind...) I drove it down the track easy to get a feel for it. Hopefully this weekend coming up if my computer/injectors are not back for my car, I'll make a few good hits in the 10.5 car.
Until next time...
Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a P-E-A-N-U-T just now...
