    I'm a big a p****y when it comes to any medical procedure, but even I thought the procedure was no big deal. No pain at all, just a little discomfort.

    Just sat on a bag of peas for the rest of the weekend, didn't even take the vicotin they gave me.

    To be a sponsor we ask for a donation (tax write off!!) - and then we come to an agreement on size/location of logo.

    As for us - we drop our car off (if reasonable distance) at the establishment to allow their customers to see it - usually for a day period, put it in local parades to get word out, and we also did a car show last year to advertise for a local campground. We ask for pamphlets from the sponsor if they have them available and we hand them out on "autograph night" or "meet the driver" nights. Then we are telling them we'll have our car out racing all season.


    Now, unfortunately a local person has ripped his sponsors off for a couple years now by not getting on the track. He'll take money, get car together - then only race three-four races for the year.

    The pain was during the procedure. The numbing agent did not work on me. So basically I had zero anesthesia. When they put the clamps on, it was kind of like having a snapping turtle clamp down on your junk.

    Yep... The urologist who did mine said a lot of people opted for no aneshtesia... so I felt the clamps pretty good too. As previously mentioned, the searing sound and smoke wafting up to your nose is a little disconcerting. :)

    Oh I have rants this morning pissed as hell. I flew out last night landed in Atlanta got a text that my wife blew out a disc in her back and was admitted to the hospital. Called Delta in Atlanta a major hub for them their best suggestion was to continue on to my destination and wait rather than finding a flight back to Minneapolis. Needless to say 3 hours of fitful sleep makes me a surly traveler. I get into detroit and am sprinting for my connection swing by McDonalds to get something to eat because I realized I had not eaten since breakfast yesterday and mr fast food decides he is going to give me crap because I have a Packer hat on, well that probably did not go as planned for him but at least he knows what I think of Detroit, Mc Donalds and his opinion of the Green Bay Packers.

    Well todays rant is about the East Coast specifically Washington DC. I am there this week for board meetings for a professional association that I am on. I get up and go to breakfast 2 eggs toast and coffee $16, and it comes and the toast isn't even buttered. $16 for eggs and toast for that price sparks should shoot out my azz when I eat them because they are so good, heck I bet the cook didn't know the hen that laid the eggs.

    When people are talking and at the end of their talk they say "you know what I mean?" Drives me insane.

    The only time I take my camo out of its tote is to wear in the field or to wash. Other than that it lives a lonely life in my truck in a blue tote

    I'm not a sports guy ( unless I'm playing them) but when I did watch football I was a packer fan. In the days of the mighty Brett and that's hard to do living just outside of Buffalo
