Fellow Spridgeteers,

FROGGI and I almost visited a very deep ditch yesterday... right in
front of a couple hundred cows!

Going down one of the many twisty "open range" (that means cattle may be
on the road!) roads here in Klamath Falls trying to keep up with my son
in his Turbo II RX7, went into a 90 degree right hander a bit too hard.
Car starts to rift... no problem... then the back end breaks loose.  Oh
boy!!! Correct, tires grab, only to throw us the other direction...
getting serious here.  Finally after what seemed like an hour I'm headed
back down the road the right direction.

Even with race tires, comp springs, 7/8" front bar I guess I should have
pay a little more attention to the 15 mph sign.  After all, I was going
into it around 60!  That sure was an nasty looking ditch.  Glad we
didn't become intimate.

Damn that felt good!  Just though you'd like to hear how life is here in
the country.

Keep the sticky side down!... or at least try.
