Ernie, Jaswhitt and myself were standing around at Mr Berg's house. Jason was talking about being bald and how the sweat runs in his eyes and Ernie made the comment that it happens to him too. I told him all he needed was a panty liner across the top of his helmet to absorb that sweat. Conversation just took off from there and ended up with Ernie talking about putting the sticky side on his forehead and having the word "ALWAYS" imprinted on his forehead. There were a lot of other things said which I ain't gonna repeat here. May not sound funny to you guys but man, we laughed so hard. Makes me just remembering it.

That's pretty good Macho.

I was sitting under your tent Sunday with your family, Shannon and some others. I looked around and asked, "Where's the Machoman"? Christian got this look on her face and asked, "Why do ya'll call him Macho? He's NOT macho." I said, "He's a stud"! She said, "Nope, he's just plain ol' Dad to me." I tried to build you up but she wasn't havin' any.

We got to the track Saturday morning and I found DRGSin walking around. I ran back to my truck and grabbed the fairy wings I got for him. Managed to catch a few people's eyes as I was walking over there and nodded to them to follow. You should have seen the look on his face when I showed what I had behind my back...priceless. I didn't think he was going to take them at first though... he kept trying to shove 'em back at me. But we all know he ended up wearing...thankfully he's got a great sense of humor! I saw him come around the track with those wings on and I thought to myself "He is way too cool!"

When you ride a Yamaha, nothing can make you look silly.

Thanks Macho. I really had fun with that camera. I have about 15 minutes of good footage that I am sending to the Hoot clan this week. It has you and everyone else on it. Good stuff.

If you haven't had a chance to chat with Kirtwell about anything that happens on the track, you are missing something. After I followed him around for two laps (eating monster amounts of roost), I go past him and never see him again. When asked about it in the pits his response was "Dude, there is no way I would follow you with all the roost" (Empahsis on DUDE!).

I really enjoyed filming while riding. I would ride past folks really close and look into their helmets. Kinda freaked them out but when they saw the camera, everyone was a ham. Even b-bike.

On the way home from GMB Ernie & I drove 1300 miles on Monday from Humble to Phoenix where we stayed at Mad Jack's Apartment. Needless to say we were tired and goofy by Monday night.

We stopped at a KFC Buffet in Bensen, AZ where we were sitiing having dinner and E lets out a loud cough, this was only to cover something else . It didn't cover very good because we were on hard plastic chairs which amplify's the sound of . I started to and then it happened to me . Now the guys behind me (not directly) are dying ing too. By this time I have tears in my eyes and can barely breath due to so hard.

I was done with dinner at this point so I get up and walk to the restroom to wash my hands and as I walk and laugh it happens again but with each step I take. Now I am cracking up to the point I need oxygen.

Needless to to say we laughed about that for an hour afterwards and will never forget the tears shed in laughter from .

My first offering to this thread.

I had some fun with Kirtwell in the first moto of the double gated 40+ 50+ class.

With time (laps running down) in the moto I heard a bike coming up from behind while going down the back side of the track. All things were going fine as far as I was thinking but when I got to the "Roost" corner the guy behind me yelled at the top of his voice....
"GET OUT THE WAY"
Yes... Kirtwell can yell loud enough to be heard over two thumpers racing around Splendora. However, at this point I still didn't know it was the Kirt-Man.

Being the thought-full kind of fella that I am, I made a quick decision to see if I could add to this guys fun of giving him just a bit of ROOST from Macho's bike. I made it as wide as possible and wicked up the throttle whenever I seen some loose dirt. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I knew that I would be getting a face full when he went past but it was worth every bit of it. I'm here to tell you that when he wants to blast your helmet full on roost, it will happen.

Kirtwell and I had a great laugh about it back in the pits. Mainly because he didn't know it was me riding Macho's bike.

Alright, I got another one. Ima...I hope you read this.

We're at the hospital Sunday night, Jim has just come from the recovery room and is a bit groggy to say the least. There's two nurses wheeling him down the hall to his room and apparently they both failed hospital bed driving school because they ran into dang near every wall. They're attempting to negotiate the corner from the hall into his room....still banging walls... and the Tooth Fairy grabs the end of the bed and says something to the effect of, "I've got a CDL I'll take it from here."

Ima looked like she wanted to fall over laughing and I'm attempting to stifle a laugh. I know, not nearly as funny in print, but dang funny when it happened.
