If I can see well enough to drive (and if BARB LET ME) I'm going to make breakfast. I really need to get out of the house and I know you guys don't care about how bad I look. LOL

Edgar,

You can put some soft miles on the Vette going to Atco on Sunday. You're more than welcome to join us at the Red Lion Diner at 8AM for breakfast.

He will be at the diner... but will he finish eating before Atco closes?

Will the diner have to express ship extra eggs & flapjacks to fill his order?

Someone needs to call the Red Lion & let them know whats comming

1. I agree soft miles driving to Atco accomplishies my goal
2. However, sitting at Atco and not racing when it has been three weeks since my last race is bringing a man to the brink to let him down
3. 8 AM !!!!!!!

Did someone say breakfast?

I may be able to join in on breakfast, but I have to visit my mom, but heading south before heading north will be OK since I have to stop in south Jersey anyway to pick something up for her.

So you may see me at the diner if I wake up in time.

Good seeing you again Mack. Feel better. By the way thanks for breakfast. It always tastes better when someone else buys. Talk to you soon.
