Our weekend turned out busy. Hubby has built himself a new 4 wheeler for racing and wanted to try it out and see how it does. We have a local place that is 5 minutes from us that just opened up a sand drag strip for 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. Also top fuel bikes. They have had mud bogs there for years. We went there on Saturday. Hubby ran in two classes he got third place in the one class. His 4 wheeler is really not made for the one class but he got a 3rd place. The other class which is what it is made for he got 1st place. Everyone we work with did good except hubby's work buddy. His motor blew up on his first practice run so he was done for the day. Races ran late so I got to come home, take care of all the animals, unpack and get a shower. Had a really bad headache by then.
I woke up this morning with the headache although it was a little less painful. We decided we would go to the race today as well. It's an hour away though. Again hubby got 1st place in his class and everyone we work with ran well. One guy we don't work with wiped out at the start of his race. He was racing a bike and when he lost control of it he wound up close to the metal guard rail. He put up his hand to keep the bike from smashing him into the guard rail which worked but he kept sliding down the track for a little. He seemed pretty much unhurt except for a lot of blood on his hand, not sure if his hand being pulled down the guardrail just took skin off or if the metal just cut him.
Then one of our guys as he was leaving the track after a run had his bike fall on him. He wasn't moving fast and wouldn't have gotten hurt but his pipe came to rest on his leg when it fell on him and burnt his leg bad. He had a 1/4 inch flap of skin like burnt/melted off. It was still attached just kind of pushed to the side. He had several more runs after and did get 2nd place.
Now most of the guys we work with are younger. Most are around 18. We have one we work with who is very mild mannered, very soft spoken, respectful and always has a smile on his face. Well today they were having issues with the lights which show you when you are lined up, then shows you when to go and will show who won the run plus will show If anyone red lighted (left too soon).
Well Michael ran against another guy we'll call TJ. Michael won but got as bad call. At the end of the day when all of the races were over Michael called TJ out for a grudge match. I guess TJ must have said something about him beating Michael the one time.
So Michael and TJ lined up to run, they took off and Michael ran his bike perfect and beat TJ. The place went crazy cheering. He called him out on a grudge and beat him. Michaels dad told him let's go home. But Michael was not satisfied and lined up again. No one could believe it. TJ lined up as well and again Michael ran his bike perfect and won. The place went even wilder. Everyone was cheering, everyone was hollering. Michael come around. Hubby made a comment to Michael about him having a fire lit in him today. Michael looked at hubby and said "He made me mad Mr. Rob" Ha! I tell you, you shouldn't mess with the quiet ones!
I have had the same headache all day and can't get rid of it. I took care of the buns after I got home. I needed to clean both cages. I forgot to move one panel on the Xpen so Thumper managed to get too close to the girls. Nothing happened or could have happened except for Thumper peeing on the floor so added work for me.
Saturday morning my dog threw up on the carpet outside my bedroom so I walked out in the morning and stepped in vomit first thing. Not a good start to the day. He also threw up on my one kitchen rug in front of my sink. All of the hardwood in that area and he throws up on carpet. I miss it. I haven't had the chance to clean it. I will tomorrow though because I miss it. I took it outside that morning so no, I don't have it in the house still a mess.
