You Don’t Call You Don’t Write

That’s what people say when you haven’t called or written in a long time. Well I can’t call most of y’all, but I might if I could

. Far as writing goes . . . yeah I haven’t and that was pointed to several times when I announced the return of BiggLaLa. FYI, that post was all about her so if you talked about me there BL gonna git ya.

So, even though I don’t really “owe” any explanations you’re gonna get some. There are 3 reasons; the first 2 are kinda dull. 1. A lack of motivation. Being ‘out in the sticks’ so to speak there are few local women on these sites, so the motivation to be here is mostly waiting

for an interesting local woman, or more, to pop up here. 2. My computer is approaching the end of its useful life. I had someone do remote ‘CPR’ and it is effectively terminal (pun intended).

Now, the third reason – I’ve been on other sites. Yes you read that right I’ve been cheating on A*F*F. I’ve been looking at other sites. Now, honey(s) before you get all upset let me explain. They aren’t naked/girlie/sex sites. But they are related to an addiction I have, just not the sex one. Hummm . . .

perhaps I should ‘splain further.

If you’ve read my posts may have figured out, that I’m a race driving addict. I had 4 race cars at the beginning of this year and had one on CL, off and on, for the last few years. A few months ago I finally sold that car. Running that car (a Mustang) took a ton of effort beginning with the fact that the closest track it was suited for is a 400+ mile round trip. Leaving the track at 1 AM meant I wouldn’t get home till about 5 AM, after a race where the temps could be over 0 degrees. To really get to tracks that a decent purse I would have had to to Texas or California. “So what” you say.

Well, in talking to the guy who bought the Mustang I found that a local-ish dirt track (only 1 hour away) is running a of cars that suits the types of cars I like to build and drive. I could not run the Mustang there. So I went there; checked things , and I got the whiff of race fuel in – it does smell like victory

. So, the other sites I’ve been scrounging around on are ones where race cars are sold and technical info is obtained. The tech info will be very important because I have 2 options for having a competitive car; an already built car and make it better (something I’ve done quite well). Or build up a car from a street car which takes a lot of time and . My preference is an already built car – that option tends to be less expensive if they were built decently. But there has been a problem. Just like finding local women finding a comparable race car locally has been a no go. In fact I’m talking to owners in Texas, Iowa and PA.

Anyhow, if y’all want to hear more let me know.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
