I called Dale around 7:30 at the Homecoming game. "Is my car in one peice"? "Yeah, I just had to walk out of the bleachers and tell him to shut it off. He was sitting in line outside the field just letting it idle, and blipping the throttle occasionally". "What for"? "Just showing off, I guess, they still have 10 minutes before they come onto the field, and I was worried he would let it run the whole time"! "Good grief! Did he find a way for her to hold on"? "Yeah, got a barn door handle at the hardware store and 2 self tappers to the trunklid, worked great"! "Dang it...not funny"! "Just used a glass handler's tool with suction cups on the back glass, man you are on edge", Dale laughed. "No joke, keep an eye on him", I hung up, this was going to be a long weekend.
I called Dad later that night. "How did it go"? "Great, just great, Son. Brittni looked wonderfull, we got lots of pictures, Darren had your car really shined up and looking great". "So is he leaving the Valiant at your place"? "Ah...no. I don't know where he went, he's not here.." "OK Dad, I'll talk to ya later".
