Violated!

It's finally happened, first time since we moved into this house 22 years ago, I had something stolen. It's really nothing, just three 5 gallon gas cans I used to put oil in, were stolen from in front of my garage. What bothers me is the vandalism that could occur when the young punks that took them could do when they find out they're not gas. Also makes me wonder what else they could try and take from the house. We have a table and chairs that were my brothers on the front porch that I might have to move now for fear of it being stolen. There's also a bunch of yard ornaments in the backyard they could take and if they got bold enough they could start to vandalize the house. I have a couple of suspects I'm going to keep an eye on. Last summer they vandalized the street lights in the neighborhood and one of my neighbors even tried to chase them down when he caught them in the act but was unable to. We have one of Thornton's finest living right across the street but that doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent to these dummy's.

Tomorrows race day, last weekend wasn't a good day for Phast Phat #3 (me), the car was running very well the driver wasn't. The car ran consistent, time trial 1 11.92, time trial 2 11.92 so for first round I put 11.91 on thinking I can just run it all out and still run the number. Then it rained and the conditions went into the trash, it ran 11.99 with me having a bad reaction time and slow to boot. Needless to say I lost pretty easily, to the eventual winner no less but I was still bummed.
