More on the Rally Race Yesterday

First let me say I am surprisingly sore this morning. That was a lot of shifting and muscling the car around.

This was a road rally with the course set by, somewhat cryptic at times, written directions. No GPS allowed. For example go 3.7 miles, turn left, go 5.8 miles, turn right at the firehouse. My navigator led me astray twice. We had to backtrack twice adding an extra 15 miles to the 45 mile course. Despite this I passed three competitors at various times and we did not finish last although just finishing was a huge victory for us.

It was a timed rally with a staggered start. It was open to anyone but we went as an alpha club. So I was competing with these cars

Here is the car and my navigator post check-in, in race trim.

After a successful race, the team deserves a good meal. I treated Mrs BY Bob to a fancy meal and a glass of wine outside.

I think that you will find this kind of cool. I mounted my phone on the windshield and recorded a portion of the race. You can ride along as I wind my way through two sections of the course.

It was quite late when we finally got back home but her she is back in the driveway a long hard day behind her.

It was so much fun to get out and away from the house like this. A good time was had by all.

This looks like a really good time!
My DH would be all over these cars! He has always been a car buff.

I thought all Leghorns were white, like all RIR are well...red. Shows how much I have still to learn.

Years ago, I thought all chickens were supposed to look like white leghorns (Like the cartoons)
But I grew up. But not realizing just how many breeds and colors chickens can be. I hated Barred Rocks, thinking "That's not a chicken, what is it?"
Now I have several breeds, (some crazy breeds) and my best cuddle chickens are the Rocks.
So, I know what you mean!

And Bob, What beautiful countryside roads! Jealousy would be an understatement.

All around me are citrus, corn, and vegetable fields. The mountain roads, are 20 minutes away.

Oh, Bob... so glad Hatties prolapse was minor and all is still well with her yes? I have so much to catch up on... hopefully in October I will be back more often. Second floor is scheduled for this weekend, I saw a baby mink today under my wall panels and far too close to my chooks for comfort. I suggest you hit up the “family planning” aisle for some water based personal lubricant (not the novelty warming, tingling or cooling stuff) if your planning on sticking fingers in places your chickens are not ok with! Cleaner and easier than vaseline IMO. Better to have it on hand and not need it than need it and not have it. Poor Hattie. I do hope she has forgiven you.

Kris - good to have you back with us and I am so excited you have a 2nd floor on its way - that sounds like loads of progress and I hope you have been taking pictures along the way even if you haven't had time to post them.

It was a beautiful drive.

That looks like a lot of fun on a beautiful day!

It really was and the car finally allowed us to really enjoy it.
