Well, Grandma says, Evil Knievel did it, why can't Joe??? And I happen to know that Joe has God on his side. Of course, that Knievel guy must have had Him, too, or he wouldn't have lived as long as he did with all the crashes he had....
God Bless Grandmas, and dirtbike riders too! :)

80 degrees today?
I sure hope the weather guys got it right! It was supposed to be hot yesterday, but I don't think it got much above 65. I was at the track in a sweatshirt and not quite warm enough. Grrrr. I am ready for summer.

Speaking of the track...
Kate's Kurt crashed pretty bad last night in practice and got a concussion. It's his FOURTH! I think I'd buy that kid the most expensive helmet I could find and swathe him in bubble wrap before I let him ride again.
The upside to Kurt getting hurt is that it gave us an opportunity to get to know his family a little more. His mom (who is a firefighter/EMT) took him off to the hospital for CT Scans, so we didn't get to meet her, but his dad (who is a motocrosser) stayed at the track to race. We also met his Grandma Jeri, who was very cool. His grandpa on the other side of the family happens to be Ed, the farmer who owns all the land around us (and spreads crap on the fields occasionally). Small world here in Custer.
After dad raced and loaded up the bikes we figured they'd head out to meet up at the hospital, but they wanted to stay and watch Katy race. Isn't that nice? Kate says she is Kurt's first girlfriend, so it looks like they must approve since they made an effort not only to include her in the concussion updates, but to take time to speak to us too.
It's kind of amazing to me how much better I feel with Katy dating someone I like and approve of. Not just because of the kid himself, but because of his family. It kind of feels like she has a bigger safety net and even more family to watch out for her. That bullshit about "Well, if she's happy, I'm happy" doesn't fly with me. I didn't care if she was happy with the last one, I definitely was not!

Toad & Kim
It's their 10th anniversary today (WOW). Jim is going to babysit for them while they go golfing. Isn't that a cool thing to do on your anniversary? It was Kim's idea. She decided she didn't want to just go out to dinner, she wanted to try golfing. She's done it once before and enjoyed it and thought it would be a fun thing to do tonight. I think it will be a great way for them to spend some time together and the weather should be perfect. Congrats guys, enjoy your day!
