Start Your Engines

Tomorrow is Pinewood Derby day. Jordan's first ever and my first in about 30 years. I was in it twice as a kid. Once I got 3rd and the next year I got 2nd. Both years my cars were red and bore the number 15 in honor of the great Packers QB Bart Starr.

Jordan's (and mine!) car is lucky number 29 this year. He chose the name Flyin Eagle for it. Rather than paint it, we decided to give it a nice sanding, do a little wood burning, and then give it a couple coats of varnish. The car is going to weigh in at the maximum fighting weight of 5.0 ounces. The axles are lubed, although one wheel seems to be hanging up a little (and that's got me concerned!).

Perhaps the most exciting element to the car is its Shining Skull logo, a semi-tribute to our new Muertos (Day of the Dead) Jersey.

Behold the Flyin Eagle!

So this doesn't have much to do with Salsa...but it's a fun little tidbit in life, and not every tidbit in life has to do with bikes.

Wish us luck.
