I have been retired now for 20 days and I'm tired!!! I have been catching up on chores I've wanted to do and have a ton more to do. I'm not complaining though!
Yesterday was the final race of the Indy Car season and it was an awesome race!
Colton Herta at 19 years old won the race from pole position and Joseph Newgarden won the championship! Personally, I was pulling for Scott Dixon for the race win and championship but it was not meant to be. Scott's previous two races with mechanical issues really put him out of the championship hunt. He tried very hard though starting and finishing yesterday's race in second place.
Here are a few photos of the guys from Road America this year and now we have to wait a whole year before we see them race again!
Thanks,

Thank you all for the many nice 65th birthday and retirement wishes!!! Retirement after 38 years in a factory has begun and I've been busy as can be. I have photo projects, home projects and other things, plus I anticipate many good times with my wife.
This past Wednesday night was a 50th anniversary tour stop for Z Z Top!! Fifty years of the beards is great!
Along for the tour was Cheap Trick and Marquis Knox, a great bluesman from St. Louis.
Restictions for photos were tight so enjoy some from my camera and some from my iPhone, just like the entire crowd used all night!!
Love Z Z Top and the stage setup they use. Frank Beard's drum kit is different and awesome for every tour. Somewhere there is a warehouse full of 50 years of drum kits!
Thanks,

I have showed these photos before of Tim Seebold doing a crazy flip in his tunnel boat, but they are worth seeing again! Tim was fine and won a race the next day.
This was the 1991 St. Louis Bud Lite Grand Prix on a section of the Merrimac River. In those days, this was the Indy 500 of boat racing in St. Louis.
Good to see F1 boats running again and on television with Tim Seebold as an announcer doing a great job.
Check out Tim and a few photos of St. Louis in 1991, just a few years ago!
The photographer running in the last frame was a Mercury racing photographer friend and was fine. No one got hurt in this incident thankfully.
Thanks,
