On our last full day, Saturday, Bill treated us all to a day at the races - indoor go-cart races that is. This is a really popular recreation out here and the place was pretty packed. It's for the younger crowd, of course. My racing nickname was "the old geezer." (No,
I picked it out - but it did fit perfectly.)

Once you're checked in, it's spectate while waiting your turn at the wheel. Naturally, the grown-ups are taking a more relaxed attitude.
But then it's on with the equipment
and out for the pace lap.

Our old camera just can't snap the shutter fast enough to catch the full speed action.
After two turns at the wheel, no bandages or broken bones. Even the old geezer had a great time coming in last place.
Thanks a ton, Bill and Shannon! What a fantastic finish to a Thanksgiving weekend.
I WANT one of those!!!
