Western Swing II

Thursday at Sonoma, just as I was going out for the Class 'C' race, I noticed the seam on one of the fingers of my glove had split.  This was probably damage from cold tire practice crash on the Brammo electric bike I had at Willow Springs five days earlier.  After the race, I tried to do a bodge repair on the glove with 'Shoe Goo' after asking around and not being able to find any needle and thread.  Minutes later, I ran into Lee Block.  He reminded me that we used to race together at Bryar M/S Pk in Loudon, N.H., back in the good ol' days.  Now he's living in Ca.  I asked him what he was doing now and he told me he was the distributor for the Austrian company Racer Gloves.  Just the man I wanted to see!  I told him my tale of woe with my old gloves and he tightened me up with a new pair of Racer Gloves.  Just in the nick of time and they worked great.  Thanks, Lee.

More evidence that I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
