What happens when you go away for a few days, bring the laptop with you, and forget the power source for said laptop? You run out of power and can’t do anything computer related. Duh.

We decided to steal away a few days this week to Erie, Pennsylvania and turn the kids loose on our unsuspecting neighbours to the south and I forgot to bring the power cord for the computer. I wasn’t going to bring the damn thing at all, and just put the ol’ blog in park for a few days, but I was expecting 2 very important e-mails that just couldn’t wait until I got back home. Fortunately I got them before I ran out of power, but I couldn’t post anything here. By the way, one of those emails is related to something that you will find out about in a few weeks, and trust me, you will like the interview I will be doing.

I just want to say “Hi” to all my new friends in PA, and beyond, that I spoke to over the last few days. I hope that you come back here often and leave a comment or two.

I just want to let all you die-cast collectors out there know that while I was in Erie, PA I went shopping and found a little NASCAR store in the Millcreek Mall (near the Burlington Coat Factory) that currently has Dale Jr Amp and National Guard 1:24 die-casts for $24.99. Get them while they’ve got ‘em because I don’t think they’ll be there for very much longer, either that or I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I did see the exact ones the weekend of the Daytona 500 for sale near here for 3 times that. I should have bought a couple and sold them here for $50.00 - I would have made a profit and still given some people a better deal than buying it at our local hobby store. Hindsight is 20/20.

It’s late and I just wanted to touch base with you all before my head meets the pillow. I’ll be back at it tomorrow with some NASCAR thoughts (ie. Dale Jarrett’s last race, etc.)
