Too Much To Absorb

It has been a very busy time; we arrived in Las Vegas last Friday, spent the entire day Saturday at the race track, Hoover Dam Sunday, show setup Monday, worked the show Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, broke the show down Thursday night, saw Jeff Dunham Thursday night........I'm tired just thinking about it.
Racetrack:
Cooper Webb wasn't able to race Saturday night due to a high ankle sprain during practice but we were able to spend some time with the champion and his family. The race was great, they put on an exceptional show and we were very entertained. The crowd was very young, lots of ink, and very well behaved. 
Supercross racing is short and very intense. I saw this on one of the YamaLube bikes, the team owner told us the riders are so focused as the race starts that they need this reminder:
Before the race we saw some stunts, I've really got to get busy learning some new tricks on my bike
Too bad we missed the greatest fight ever Saturday night (insert eye roll here)
I've eaten so  much good food this week; Benihana, steak, Italian, oh, did I mention In-N-Out? I need to run home to burn some calories. The Dunham show was funny, you get lost in the show and forget to look at what the ventriloquism art is all about. A slight of hand magician entertained us with tricks after dinner Wednesday night, and we were amused and entertained early Friday morning by two young ladies trying to make it back to their room; seems as though one bought a dress that was a little too short. You know it's eye-catching when people in this town turn and stare..............
Lots to do in a very short weekend, most importantly Keelyn's birthday in Sanford Saturday. VA/MD next week, but first a reminder:
Yes I'm ready, got a couple of weeks to go but I am ready.
Oh I forgot, guess who I saw in Nevada? Come on, guess. That's right:

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
