Adrenaline!


Wow.

What a crazy couple of weeks! Late nights and a few weekends at work, and working on the air race in what some people refer to as "free time."

Let me tell you about free time with a 7.5 month old doberman puppy in the house. It goes something like this:

Wake up at the crack of dawn to let him out. Let him in. Let him out. Let him in. Remove inappropriate "chew toy" from throat. Provide appropriate chew toy. Feed him. Let him out. Let him in. Let him out. Let him in. Rescue shredded formerly appropriate chew toy-turned-health hazard. Water him. Rescue besieged older doberman from puppy. Let them both out. And in. And out. And in. Repeat.

Wouldn't trade it for the world. If only we could harness this renewable energy source!

So far, the only thing that has adequately tired him out has been a half hour of wrestling a 165-lb mastiff.

Whew.

Back to the race - thanks to so many who have contributed and wished us well, your support and encouragement is fuel for this effort. More soon, but now the puppy is demanding his dinner!
