We have a winner in the cliche contest. The previous post was the first in a series of made-up stories that use a well-known cliche or saying and twist or change the words slightly. Brent Lavy is the winner of the first round. He won by giving the correct answer, "A waist is a terrible thing to mind", which is a twist on the saying, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste". Congratulations, BJ, you get the big prize. A new story will be on the way soon.
Saturday was the fourth annual go-kart race at our house. We had a total of 13 participants signed up. Mechanical failures on our racing kart hampered the afternoon. Shaun King won the pole in qualifying with a lap of 14.50 seconds. With the problems with the racer, the race was shortened to two laps for each person and only eight people were able to race. Regi Baker won the Nathan's Hot Dogs 200 with a two-lap time of 32.57 seconds on a slightly different track configuration from the one used for qualifying. Regi won a pack of delicious Nathan's hot dogs for her efforts. She has won this race two years in a row, having won the Minute Maid Light Lemonade 10 last year.
The Marlin Shooting Competition was won this year by Mary White. There were 13 shooters in the contest . Mary had 28 points out of a possible 30. Jason Baker was the defending champion.
In a few days, a new story will be posted in the cliche contest. If you know the answer, be the first to post it and receive the big prize of being recognized as the winner!

Well at least I won something for my efforts. After breaking the stupid go-kart 3 times trying to qualify, the kart knew it better run quickly for my actual race!
what happened to it?
The chain broke. We put in a new link, but it was too loose and it kept slipping off. It is better now. We will see how long it lasts.
