Mr. Lucky

A few posts back I mentioned how my kitty cat, Mr. Lucky, loves to sleep inside the Vent-Free Meridian...well, I found him inside and I happened to have my camera. :)

I know this is late, but the weekend before last Kasey Kahne won his 3rd Cup Series win at Texas Speedway. And it was his third time winning from the pole, plus he was the first driver to win from the pole at Texas! Fabulous!
If anyone is interested there was a good write on the race on Nascar.com.

It was awesome because our neighbor, who has US satellite cable, invited my father & I down to watch the race with him...and my favorite driver wins! YAY!
I pay the $9.95 a month with www.nascar.com for the Trackpass, so usually on Sunday's we sit around my computer, listen to radio broadcast and watch the little bubbles with each car number drive around a circle. :) My mom & sisters think my father & I are crazy, but beats not knowing what is going on. However, when there is a good track coming up, such as Talladega, Daytona, Bristol, etc. we go down the sports bar and watch it there.

Fiesta!

So, this last Friday we had a party at the Factory to celebrate one of our employee's birthday, Mario, and Richelle's. It was so much fun! As usual. :)

Mario had went fishing and caught a large swordfish and we cooked them on the Kamado (if you can say that). What Mario had done was taken the proto-type for the Vent-Free Meridian and took the lid off and placed a papella pan in the inside, which is where he deep fried the sliced fish. And then our wonderful Miguel made an half upper bracket with half a grill for the "cooling" area. It was very clever, and boy did the swordfish turn out delicious! I could not stop eating it all night. :)

I'm suprised that is not my hand! :)

Here is a picture of the set-up from behind.

Here is the fabulous Mario!

Check out the cool tongs/scraper the Mario designed.
I love the "K" he welding on it! :)

A shot of the tongs in use.

I hope everyone enjoys the pictures! :)

PS...

Okay, I PROMISE I am not trying to turn this into a NASCAR blog, but when my favorite driver does well, I have to give him a little shout out! ;)
So....Congratulations Kasey!! He started on the Bud Pole this morning, was in the top 10 all day, lead 85 laps and then won the race! YAY!! He was the first Dodge driver to win in Atlanta in 29 years.

Yay! Kasey Kahne

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. We are having a nice relaxing one; it has been pouring down rain so we are staying in and having movie weekend. :)
I wanted to mention that at the last minute I decided to send my laptop with Deborah to Sacramento for repairs, so I am without a lot of my files & pictures, therefore it will make it a little difficult to post as often as I would like until I get computer back. I am going to do the best I can.


BUT, I have to say CONGRATULATIONS to my favorite NASCAR driver, Kasey Kahne. He won his fourth Busch race today!! yay!! :)

I am hoping he will be able to sweep the weekend with a win tomorrow!

For anyone who is interested, Nascar.com did a nice write-up on today's race.

Baja 1000

As some of you may know, I am a huge NASCAR fan.

So, I thought in honor of the Busch series in Mexico City this weekend, that I would show everyone some pictures from when the Baja 1000 came into town.

Every year there are two off-road races that start in Ensenada; the Baja 500 which is in June and then the Baja 1000 which is in November.

NASCAR Cup Series driver Robby Gordon is a big fan of Off-Road racing and he & his father are legends down here. Anytime I mention NASCAR around here, the first response I get "Ohh...Robby Gordon!". :) To read a nice article about Robby Gordon regarding Off-Road Racing: http://www.off-road.com/race/2005score/baja1000/robby_gordon.html

This past November, Richard, Deborah, Richelle and I decided to go to the Meet & Greet with the drivers and check out the Off-Road cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Unfortunately, by the time we were able to leave work it was just about over.

But I did get some pictures.

PS...I found a min-video with some clips from the 2004 Baja 500 race on YouTube.com.

Lastly, I want Congratulate Denny Hamlin on his first Busch Series win today in the Telcel-Motorola 200.
