Tim Notes:

New Teeth! What the HELL?!?! More doctors, more pain, more drugs and all the fun

Sorry to all I harassed after my appointments and drug induced fun, I should really stay off the internet….

When I was growing up I always thought the truck driver, mail man, machinist, butcher all wanted to do the jobs they had? Now that I am older it seems like no one is happy with their job and thinks they should be doing more or better and then we spend out lives feeling like losers…..

August is the month for speed, well I hope so anyways…. Cars need to be worked on and motors need to be changed.

No Axialfest for Tim this year and this saddens me for a number of reasons….. John Schultz leaves Axial….. now what?

Hey Tim, My Grampa talks about you a lot and says you are the fastest guy on the planet!

News items

RC Word of the Week brought to you by RC Driver mag

Locknut

A nut that uses a nylon insert in order to better grip the threads of a bolt or shaft and thereby preventing it from coming loose. It is used extensively for axles and other areas where nuts must stay secure, but it may need to be removed frequently for maintenance or repair.

Main topic

I keep buying cheap china crap from Facebook ads and I LOVE IT
