Yeah...
But just think. Here in Salt Lake we have March Madness a mile North,
Legends ski racing 27 miles East, loaded golf courses a mile South or East
and a flooded salt flats 120 miles West. Then there's the Autorama coming
up in three weeks ( and we still need to get the Wee Eel out of the Saltair
building and put the scoops on ), Pumping onto the salt ends in six and the
lawn needs attention now for crabgrass and aeriating and the aspen trees
need their annual spraying for borers. Priorities ... priorities ... how
much will keep the wife happy? And how much more skiing can I get in before
it turns to crap up there? This week was perfect. They will show the
Legends ski races on CBS next Sunday, 26th, at noon Eastern time. Anyone
interested in the oldest racer in the group (Stein Eriksen at 72) and how he
did against the youngsters? Talk about geezers!
