Seriously though. You'll all never know how much your kind words and well wishes have meant to myself and my family.

Tina has been copying and giving me all the messages from all the sites and believe me I could actually feel a positive physical reaction.

I'm feeling MUCH better. Freaky thing boy. The doctors say it's isolated and passed so I'm ready to roll on Thursday.

I'll tell you one thing for sure. It'll be nice to have just one job till the fall. I know I've obsessed way too much about trying to be leading rider with Joel.

We'll still work hard but by then I know I'll have learned to reconcile it better and take more time to just rest and relax with my family.

Again. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU so much for everything. Your kindness has been humbling.

Let's go get em Thursday!

Vic
Wonderful news Vic, so happy it was minor.

That was a really nice piece on Vic. I like all the youtube videos. He sure has called alot of great ones over the years. He should be proud of those.

Great to know you're on the mend, Vic. Can't wait to hear you calling races Thursday. Have a feeling you'll sound better than ever to us all.

No Internet Access? Where in Texas were you? If it is somewhere other than the big 4 cities, there is no use in visiting Texas (unless you are an oil/gas man or have to visit in-laws)

It was very hot, 100-105 everyday, visiting the future in-laws in Wimberly, stayed at a house on the Blanco River, as a River house there was no internet and my cellphone signal was extremely weak. Had fun tubing on the river though.

Enjoyed that southern summer huh? hehe I am in south louisiana and 100-105 is what it has been since early in the spring, and Aug. is usually the hottest month. I put one of the sprinklers out in the pastures and the horses were fighting over who got to stand in the middle of it! How did ya like the humidity? Totally different right?
