Heads up!

Starting up a landscaping business next week. Let me know if you need your lawn mowed!

I had to look up "kolache", still not sure I understand what they are.

I heard you only do rock gardens though. What if some one wants an occasional tree or bush?

You'll have to go out and find your own bush.

I knew he wouldn't know what Kolaches were. Poor, poor, not-Texans.

It's a breakfast pastry. There is quite a large group of Czech people who live in Texas (the town of West that had the recent explosion is a Czech town)....and they imported this pastry. Sometimes they have fruit...sometimes nuts and seeds...sometimes meat and cheese.
(this one has a poppy seed filling)


They are YUUUUMMMY!

You'd better learn this stuff if you plan to be in the pastry and lawn mowing business.

I'm coming out to the last 801 season comp on June 29, it should be a lot of fun. Crawling in Wendover sounds good to me, I'd love to try and drive on that rock. I know it is way too early to ask... Is Best of the West gonna be in Wendover again? I'd love to help out.

Great all around driving this weekend Erik. Congrats man.

Looks like a little hair removal didn't hurt Samson after all.

This guy drove, judged, drove and judged some more. Then ran pro at the very end of the day and still killed it. Remind me to buy you a hat for Nats.

Thanks man! I was really hoping to do some catching up with you but it seems like I only saw you for 5min total!

I am sold on the straw hat. I think I will have to get one for my local trail running. I am sick of the top of my head burning/peeling.

[RcBro]

Erik, I had extra motel towels! Hahaha I too plan to finally buy myself a goofy hat. Good seeing you again. Also thanks for stepping up huge and making things happen this weekend!

[Erik D_lux]

Yeah man, lots learned. Not only going for the goofy towel but along the same lines as your towel, I am going to buy one of those things you put around your neck and freeze or soak in water.

[Diamond D]

Nice job this past weekend dewd. You drove awesome on top of judging and setting up courses.

[Chaotic Crawlers]

Sounds like somebody was busy this weekend

Skate/surf shops usually have really nice ones for a good price. I live in them down here now.

Don't forget the long-sleeved vented tan sunshirt. Top button only.

Got some Stubbys here and they are sweet! Thanks EddieO!



I came to Eddie with what I thought was a really sweet idea, get rid of all the redundant solder tabs on the bottom and move the spring post to the top with the other one. This would give me lots more clearance and also make them more reliable since the solder post would not get bent up and bind the spring. As typical, Eddie told me that he had already done this and could easily take care of it for me! I still need to drive the car but just from the looks of it, I have lots and lots more clearance.



Here is the old motor. I have also been trying to show how much these axles tuck the rear motor up and away. You can look at the motor and tell there are hardly any scratches on them.



New Stubbys. I am loving how much shorter they are! Check the clearance at the solder tabs!
