My brother and sister turned that thread into a book and gave it to me for Christmas! Very thoughtful of them!

(The Boat was originally named "The Blue Note" my uncle was a jazz musician and composer, blue note is a jazz term)

I'm going to have three more books made, one for my Buddy Scott (who went on the adventure with me and now owns the boat) and one for both of my cousins (Uncle Bob's sons)

Thanks!
Dave said I won a major award for it, but it must have gotten lost in the mail or something?
It will come. He promised me a hat for a thread 10 years age. Should be here any day now.:)

My other Brother went out to Rocky Mountain Raceways (which unfortunately closed over a year ago) took a hammer & chisel and busted out a piece from the dragstrip, mounted it in a shadowbox and gave it to me for Christmas. Not gonna lie, I shed a few tears. I've been going to that track since I was 10 or so. (Back when it was Bonneville Raceway Park) Had some of best times of my life out there, hell it's because of that track I became a custom painter, I was out there with my pops the first time I saw an airbrushed headlight on a funny car, it was the coolest thing I had ever seen! I said to myself "That's what I want to do for a living!"
