Saturday at the Race Track, with my kids

Brett came to spend the weekend, and we have greatly enjoyed his company.  Yesterday, thanks to the generosity of my BWF Michelle and her husband, we had 4 tickets to the Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway.  I hit the road shortly after noon with my offspring.

We got to the track in time to watch the Indy cars qualify for the Sunday race.  I don't care for open-wheel racing, but it was interesting to watch (and hear) them.  Very loud.  Even with ear plugs, it was VERY loud.

The race was fun to watch, even though I don't follow the truck series.  I didn't have any favorites, so I decided to cheer Hornaday on, since he's doing well this year and was sitting in first to start the race.  He had no competition, really.  There were many (a record for this track) cautions, and several wrecks.

After the race, we grabbed a quick burger and drove our exhausted behinds home.  We crashed shortly after coming in the door.  Brett was out BEFORE we got here, but he works nights, and was going on only a few hours of sleep.

Today, we hung out around here.  I made chili and we watched the beginning of the Sprint cup race.  Carl Edwards was having troubles, so he was pretty much out of it, so I lost interest.  We went to Mom's to return Juno and a bottle of BBQ sauce and her Dyson.  I know, we borrow a weird combo of stuff.

They hadn't seen Brett in a long time, so we stayed out there and visited quite a bit.  When we got back, Brett BBQ'd hot dogs, and I made beans, corn, etc.  It was great dinner, and now the dishes are done, as well as all of the laundry in the house.  It's a good feeling to sit and watch my shows with things done.

OK, time for Desperate Housewives.  Ciao!
