One More NASCAR Week in the Bag

The day started out kinda rough... Raining pretty good, big pools of water collecting on the Tramway... The sky was dark and things weren't looking real promising...

But then... though I couldn't find the sun that was creating it... anywhere...

*Rainbow over The PIR Tramway at NASCAR*

The Sun did manage to work its way out of confinement, give us a thin lil' rainbow and changed things up pretty quick. By race time it was a bright blue sky, a dry tramway and track... and the sold out crowd was ready to go Racing...

Nigh on to 12 hours of hauling NASCAR Butts in to the track and then back out again... Whew! My Ol' keister is tahrd!

This morning... soon as I get another pot of coffee put away, I'll get loaded up and haul the rig back to Glendale for a couple of days. Have a few odds and ends to take care of... and then Heidi is gettin' on an Aeroplane Wednesday, in Phoenix, to wing her way to Denver to be on hand for the arrival of Jasper William Thompson, our second Grand Kid... and this one, a Bronc Rider in the making! ;)

Me? I'm goin' out onto the desert for a few weeks... to hermit myself away...

I'll be punching buttons in a fever. My intention is to have the greatest part of my third Novel written up by Christmas. Then I'll roll bobtail to Colorado to visit the new Bronc Rider... as soon as things settle out a lil' bit.

Laying the next book out that fast is ambitious, but, It's an effort I want to make a run at, and I think I can do it... I'm kinda looking forward to this Hermit Writer time. A couple weeks in town and at NASCAR and all the other aggravations of living can get put back where they belong with a lil' Desert Solitude.

Something motivating me a lil' bit more happened just yesterday... Froggy Donna had sent me a FB link that she'd mentioned my new book to her friends... Well... a fella I've only conversed with through email picked up on it...

Nick's a writer himself. In fact, he's been a career newspaper man as well as the Publisher of the Gypsy Journal. When someone like that tells you that they can't get Their Own Work Done... 'cause they're reading YOUR work... Why, that hangs an even bigger smile on your face.

Don't get me wrong... Every compliment, from every reader is Highly Valued... but... When someone who has made their living for many years, in the same craft you are pursuing tells you that, it's somehow, even a little sweeter yet... Ya know?

Well... If I'm going to get today's chores done... I better get at 'em.

Keepin' Busy on the Desert.

Yep, I noticed Nick was tooting your horn this morning. I downloaded your book to my Kindle today.

Judging by the bounce I got on Amazon after Nick's and Donna's comments,they did me a BIG kindness I think. :)
