Enjoyed a fine visit to my family in North Carolina over the weekend. As noted in my previous post, had a good time at the Winston-Salem Air Show, and a nice Saturday night. One of the things Patty and I did was to watch the NASCAR race in Richmond.Sunday got out on the motorcycle for a while after washing it, and we watched some football. Local game was the Panthers/Eagles; that got off to a good start, but then went rapidly downhill. After that, did a bit of running around with Patty, played frisbee with the dogs. It was a good weekend by the way, weather was really nice. A bit warmer than last weekend, but still not very humid. Monday took a motorcycle ride again, this time around Charlotte (which is easy to do, as the city covers a lot of area; believe its one of the larger cities area wise though not population wise) but made a stop at Hendrick Motorsports in Concord where, among other things, saw this technician working on one of Dale Earnhardt, Jr's cars. There are many buildings at Hendrick; Dale Jr's and Mark Martin's teams are in the same building.
I headed back to Richmond on Tuesday morning, with work the same day. I had car trouble, was was able to limp the Neon into Richmond. I took it (after dropping off some things at the apartment) to Firestone, but they felt it was a cruise control problem and could not tackle it. I was able to get a ride to work from a coworker, and a ride home while Firestone said it was ok to leave the car overnight. I called AAA who suggested Cloverleaf Tire and Auto, and that is where their tow truck took the car. Good people there, and was very happy with the service and the price....car was fixed later that afternoon in time for me to drive it to work.
Will be in Richmond this weekend, and have some fun things to check out on tap here this weekend!
