Day 2 of Registration. I wanted to be there but since the truck battery died this morning it took me longer to get to work and so I will not be getting off in time to do that and get the battery checked. It was on a trickle charger. I am hoping it can hold through Fiesta. NOPE! I had to get a new Fiesta Battery. yes.. it came out of my pocket. Also... every road if full of total IDIOTS! One winner just HAD to stop right next to a fender bender in an intersection. No reason.. just stopped dead. TOTAL and yes I am going to say it.. MORON! Be aware out there.... Its Stupid on wheels.
Tomorrow we are standing up at Emerson Elementary, North of Gibson and West of Louisiana. I already had a call from the Principal who is very excited. I called back and left a message that we were excited too. If its too windy to inflate the balloon.. I plan on sitting there and burning for an hour for the kids. Show them the difference between burners, whisper and main blast valve in sound and radiated heat. Plus teach them as much as possible about the aspects of ballooning.
I also have about 100 coloring hand outs so the kids can color in their own racer type balloon with information on it too. We did a stand up there last year and the kids and teachers were fantastic.
After that I will be heading to propane and then to work. Since I have a flexable daily schedule I will be working from 10ish to 6ish. I used to work that when I first moved here. It was a good schedule to get the kids to school and make work on time. Well..There ya go.. The show must go on. I expect to be near exhaustion and lack of whats left of my hair come the end but hopefully I can take some leave when the govt in DC gets back to work. Maybe a week.... Maybe Thanksgivinng.
I posted some shots of registration on my facebook site and here are some that I had some fun with.
