No worries folks I have not disappeared – I’m still alive and kicking here in Mooresville.� Funny how things work.� When I got down here I had no work and had to try hard to fill my days.� Now I am working everyday and find it hard to sometimes to go to the bathroom.� Well, today we are off to Kentucky.� Last week I was in Chicago and the week before that in Texas.� Life on the road is pretty fun.� I think having to drive is a little lame but it gives you a chance to get to know your co workers.� Some of the people I work with I have spent so much time traveling with them I think I’ve know them for years.� I only takes (1) 16 hour trip to Texas for you to get to know a lot about someone.
Last week I worked a special event we were doing for Jimmy Johnson, a fund raiser for his foundation.� They call it a “ride event”.� We have done them before and it is usually hosted by a company and they send out anywhere from 50 to 300 people to take a “champ ride”.� I thought this was what we were doing for Jimmy’s event.� But after getting set up I talked with the lady from Jimmy’s Foundation and she said that only 10 people were coming – how much money were they going to raise with 10 people.� Silly me!!!� Each person paid $ 10,000.00, yes I said $ 10,000.00 to take 10 laps around Lowe’s Motor Speedway with him driving.� Later in the morning when I went to the restroom and walked by the car of the people who were at the event I noticed this was not our normal clientele.� There were to 2 Porsches, a Mercedes and an Aston Martin.�
