I'm bringing a can of bug killer, a weed wacker, one of those chairs that Paul just mentioned (thanks Paul), a bigger hat, and I am going to get a GPS transponder for the Miller Girls, just in case my editor wants "Crowd" shots (how can those Miller Girls be at the same track as me all day long and I only see them once????). Oh and a bigger lens, but we covered that already Larry -----Original Message----- From: ratpack-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ratpack-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Buck Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 9:47 AM To: ratpack@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ratpack] Re: getting air At 09:18 AM 8/3/2009, you wrote: >Thanks guys, >I spent most of yesterday just sorting and putting photos into three >folders for possible customers.

Funny you should mention this. I asked the guys who do my lawn if they'd do some weed clearing. This was yesterday. I told 'em I'd pay 'em and even give 'em a print of the #13 car doing its bicycle thing. They just left. That is, they left after mowing the lawn without ever coming to the door or doing any weeding.
