Howdy Chuckwagon Friends
What a beautiful morning. The sky was clear as ever and it looked like it was going to be a great day weather wise. With the morning chores and breakfast out of the way, Rick and I watched a few wagons doing a practice session out at the track.
As I didn’t have the best sleep last night, I decided I better lay down for an early nap to keep up with my rest. 10:30am I put my head phones on and dozed off. Next thing I knew it was after 1 o’clock. I knew I needed that rest.
Early afternoon, and I needed to get out and exercise. I decided to jump on my pedal bike and go for a cruise. I pedaled through the nearby community of High River, then headed out onto the road that leads to a little town called Longview. The site out west is so breathtaking. The Great Canadian Rockies were in view, despite the clouds that rolled in. If you are not from Alberta, and you ever get the chance to come our way, you need to put our province on your bucket list, because there are so many great places to come and see.

The Threateing Sky’s
5 pm, and we heard that the rain was coming down in the city of Calgary just to the north of us. It looked like it could have dumped on us too at any moment. Fortunately, it never did and the races rolled on.

Turning the Top
Cody had a nice turn tonight around his top barrel. But when he continued on to turn the bottom, he just didn’t drive around it far enough and shazam, it was down. So unfortunate. As there were so few penalties tonight, it placed him down at 35th spot.

Going Full Force to the Track
Ricks hook tonight were Trick (LW), Law (RW), Nickle (LL) and Speedy (RL) . He moved to the three barrel tonight and had a very decent run considering he ran 3 wide the whole way round. Its quite heavy out there three wide. Unfortunate to be assessed 1 second in penalty, as the one outrider was late. Cole was riding Stadium and holding the leaders, while Shawn rode Corn Whiskey throwing the stove. 30th on the day is where we finished. We are going to get these penalties out of our system yet.

Checkin for Outriders
Rick wears a Go-Pro pretty much every night. Here, you can see how he checks back to make sure his outriders are within their allotted length before the Chuckwagon crosses the finish line. In this game, you just cannot afford any infractions. With our penalty tonight, we sat 30th for the day, and 29th overall.

The Biggest Smile and Pretty in Pink
As I close up this letter, the rain is coming down. Its going to be muddy tomorrow around here. I best get the rubber boots out from the storage compartment.

P.S. The more we give of anything, the more we shall get back.
