Default Hellow from Amsterdam!!

Well just got to my hotel lucky me, no freakin' room. Little mix up that I may have had a part in but now it is almost 10 am in Amsterdam but my body thinks its 3 am.

Damn car beat me again yesterday deciding to go quicker than it had all day when I had Panuzzo pinned to the wall.

Edgar, same thing happened to me right after you left. But let's not blame our cars....we had the advantage on the tree and simply took too much stripe...period.

That said, the weather in the lanes was not the same weather on the track. After proceeding to row L in the stands , there was a cool breeze blowing in the could not be felt (measured) in the lanes. Track was geting cooler and the lanes weren't.

Have fun in Amsterdam....i think you got there before i made it home from etown...LOL.

Have a good trip Edgar.

I was changing my dial-in on every round.

My car went consistant for round 1 and 2, then it slowed down for rounds 3,4 and 5. Then it went quicker than round 1 for the final 2 rounds.

Very strange air day.

Heather's surgery went well today. Used the "chop sticks" to get it out and she a very large stone in there too. Mom is in the hospital with her for the overnight stay and we bring her home tomorrow.

Thanks
