Racing-So I sold, I mean traded, my minisprint for an "asphalt modified". We thought it was going to be a quick once over on the car, buy a motor, and go racing. YA RIGHT!!! After a closer review, I traded for a dirt modified that was half assed converted to asphalt. I have now had the car to almost a bare chassis. Remounted almost everything from the seat back. Spent countless hours figuring out the front end geometry and getting located properly. Redesigning the interior, etc, etc, etc. And it still doesn't roll. I still need to find some money for a few suspension pieces and then it will back to the same stage as it was when I got it, but as a true asphalt car this time. Hopefully by next season I can get it together and get behind the wheel again.
Work-WOW, is 'bout all I can say. I have slowly stepped out of a light duty tow truck and have jumped head first into the heavy tow truck life. It has been a crazy learning curve going from a class D license and towing cars, to a class A license and towing tractor/trailers and everything in between. And doing all of that while still being the fleet manager and the truck maintenance "go to guy". Please don't take this as me complaining as it is just the opposite. I absolutely love every aspect of my job and wouldn't trade it for anything. Being in the heavy wrecker has actually allowed me to take a little more time off to spend at home with the family.
Life-Everybody has been doing great. Lee is having a blast selling slumber parties and enjoying all the new friend she (we) have made as a result. We are getting excited for our trip to Las Vegas in October to go watch the NASCAR Camping World Truck series and the INDYCAR series at LVMS. Mom and Dad Leazer have been doing good with little fluctuation in their health, for a change. Shawn found a job and is learning how to lay asphalt. Mom and Dad Hardman are plugging away and enjoying their new toy, a '91 IROC Camaro convertible.
Anything else-I'm sure there is plenty of other things that I'm forgetting or leaving out, but that's what happens when you only post "once a year". I have many racing, work, and life pictures posted on facebook that are updated almost weekly. If I haven't added you as friend on facebook, drop me a line and I'll get you back stage to see me wonderful, crazy life!!! Until next time, GO FAST, TURN LEFT and remember, RUBBIN' is RACIN'!!!!!!
