2000 mph on 33x10.5W Jimmy Choo's
I've been going 2000mph lately on my Jimmy Choo's... very dangerous and unstable speeds for even the sturdiest of heels. I really can't tell anyone this because its sooo unmentionable, but these heels may cause... GASP! Blisters, or worse...! Only trained "professionals" whose feet have never walked on anything but water should be allowed to don these dangerous items, because nobody else could possibly be remotely good enough to stand on their own two feet in them. They've only been tested and proven safe on short fashion runways, definitely not the speeds and distances traveled when on my feet. And NOBODY would want to share the sidewalk with me in those conditions! Okay, that was my cheap shot at the drama going on at Fun Ford Weekend right now, but its true lately.
First to update you on Trixie: she is at Auburn University Vet Hospital undergoing a brain biopsy today. She came through the procedure fine, and we are awaiting the test results to help determine the exact cause of her ailment. Hopefully, this is the last of the ordeals she will have to endure, and we can treat her so she gets better. She'll be staying there tonight and all day tomorrow.
And now onto something I haven't talked about recently... my racecar. (What a novel idea, right?!?) Well, I finally got back my computer, and I just spent the evening at Ellis Milner's housing watching and learning how to put together a Lenco transmission. Next up, put it all back together and get it to the dyno on Saturday. If everything goes right, it's on to the track to test on Sunday at Phenix City. Gotta get some seat time before my 1st race of 2006... the Dixie Pro Mod race at our home track. Yes, you heard correctly. Thanks to Ellis Milner speaking out on my behalf at the annual Dixie banquet, a vote was taken to allow turbo cars to compete with the Nitrous Pro Mods at these regional 1/8th mile Quick 8 shows in 2006.
Tomorrow, I also start back to school... Full Time. No, I didn't quit my job. I will now be working full time at the Ledger, taking a full load of classes at night at Troy State, and have a ton of jobs in my side marketing/web design company to finish as well. Here's the latest work-in-progress, the first in a series of sites scheduled for this customer alone. I said I needed more web business.... boy, did I get it! To complicate matters, I am on the verge of a promotional job change at work... gotta love it! School changes, work changes, a sick puppy, my ill Papi, side business booming, and race season just 2 months away.
STRESS? I LOVE STRESS! Bring on the pressure (at 30psi)! Hopefully these size 7.5 Jimmy Choo's won't have a massive blow out... rather will just be kickin' some rear end instead. Chunking? Chunky? Did I just hear you say I was overweight? 600lbs OVERWEIGHT?!?
Oh wait, nevermind. I don't have to walk a (1/4) mile in anyone's shoes but my own.... I'll leave the 1/8 mile runways for the overpaid divas.
Thank God for that.

Hmmm...and I wonder why I haven't jumped into a heads-up class yet. I just want to race with whatever combination I see fit and not have to dick with things like this!
Hope Trixie starts to get better soon!
You ARE taking on a lot at once. When you perfect the full-time school and work thing let me know so I can speed up my degree pursuit!

LOL... Heads Up Racing- The Neverending Soap Opera.
Surprisingly, I LOVE this kind of hectic pace. Free time makes me lazy. I know, I'm weird.
