PAMX THOR SPRING SERIES - RND 2

FRIENDS, WIND, RACING, FRIENDS, RAIN

~ WOW, The season has started. Totally awesome. It was wonderful seeing so many wonderful people today. The weather made it a short day but never the less lots of Spring Hugs were completed. I had to put the camera away at the end of the first round of moto's. Rain took over and we departed the knob. Just was too much weather to deal with. BUT, I was able to get a few shots in on some of the first classes. As always Kristin and I will be working on getting the albums up. Kris will also be putting some pictures on her blog as well.

The A Class has had a few new riders in its prestigious class. Grimes, Bachman & Newcome have made their entry with some great riding. Also in the B Class,Toth and DeAngela to name a few moved into the B Class. Matt Toth and Daniel Lippman are going to be two awesome riders to watch in that class.

PAMX THOR SPRING SERIES 2010

ROUND 2

....Well we sure hope that it is. Doublin Gap last week with great weather and now much cooler this week with some rain. Not sure what it is doing to the grounds at "The Knob". But if all goes well we will all make the trip up the Old National Pike to find out. I wanted to gather up a few pictures of our last years racing there and actually found a few motos from last May's racing there. So I put together an album of the +40 A&B moto 1&2. Great racing with Niebel, Crowe, Kantner, Christopher, Bunting and more. So check out the pBase link (MXLens Photo Gallery) and get a quick look at last years racing at "The Knob".

I am looking forward in getting some fresh pictures of all of you and get this racing season started. I'm actually nervous about it. Pre-race jitters - HAHA. Hope to see you all there!

P.S. We are so very thankful for Henry's wonderful work on the new site. Kris and I are trying out some of the new things available. My changing of the picture for my blog with Stevie is alittle blurry, but I am working on getting them better. It's going to be a great season. Hang in there with me..... ;)

~ BROC STREIT - HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY ~






BRANDON BRADLEY #217, BILLY URSIC #273 & BROC HEPLER #54 - STEEL CITY 2002 ~

Good Evening, Good News

Brandon's brace is off :) Brandon saw his doctor today and everything looks really good. He was scoped and so far no scar tissue. He will have to go back in 6 weeks and have it rechecked. He has no restriction​​s ( except no sports, but Brandon never did sports anyway)

Butch took him to HealthSouth after his doctors appt. to see everybody there. They were so happy to finally hear him talk, Brandon's doctor at HealthSouth​​, Dr. Biundo, was so happy he was dancing in the front entrance. :) Dr. Biundo kept telling us that once Brandon was able to talk again his mental recovery would come so much quicker, and I think he has improved since he's been able to hear himself speak.

So we're almost to the top of our mountain, in 8 to 12 months the doctors will try to put the bone flap back in Brandons head, their not going to try now because they want his airway to heal.
I see a much happier person in my son, he's able to actually talk to his friends on the phone, in fact today he talked to his boss Chuck for about 1/2 hour , and laugh, oh how I missed his laugh. I told him the next thing he has to do ( when he heals some more ) is sing to me. Before Brandons accident, whenever he would call me on the telephone, and the machine would pick up he always sang me my message. I never erased those messages. I don't know why I did that, but I'm glad I did.

I just want to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart for keeping Brandon in your prayers, these last 17 months have been made easier knowing that so many people have cared and loved my son so much.

More Later
Love and Peace
Michel​​le

~ NINE YEARS AGO ~

AARON


Kristin's beautiful work.


AARON LANTZER MAY 2, 1980 - MARCH 11, 2010

Nine years ago, March 10, 2001, I was at the States Wrestling Championships in Hershey. Watching some of the best High School wrestlers in the state. Youth, dedication, school spirit and family commitment. Three days of sports and friends. Kristin and I had filled our days with the AA Secession and then would head right back in for more AAA wrestling. After many matches and champions we headed to the local Perkins for some much needed dessert. Having pie around 11:00 on a Saturday night was a great way to end our trip to Hershey. The next morning we followed it up with a nice breakfast at the same Perkins and started our trip home. Some snow but nothing too much to handle. We were going to stop in town to pick up the local paper to see what articles if any were in the paper about our local wrestlers and their drive for gold. But so close to home we continued on. Same trip thru town as always. Pulled into our driveway and saw that our van was not there but my oldest daughter and her friend were coming out the front door. Reaching the door she told me that my Aaron had been in a car accident the night before and he didn't make it. Total confusion hit my head. What do you mean he didn't make it? What are you saying too me? How could you say something like that to me? This is a terrible thing to say. Running into the house to his room looking for him. How can this be, Aaron where are you, where are you? My boy was gone and our lives changed forever!
Missing Aaron is a daily part of our lives. As the years have passed the pain is there but we have been able to place it around what we need to do to continue. Always there, always there. Seeing others of his age continue with college, marriage and children. But Aaron for ever young and the same. Oh how I miss my Aaron. How I wanted too grow old with him. Take care of his son or daughter. Nine years with out him but loving him even more. So another year ends and another begins with out him. I love and miss you so.
Aaron died from injuries received in a head on collision from a drunk driver hitting him at 80 miles an hour. He was coming home from dinner with friends, he was going 35. The hospital said that he only had a broken leg, he would be okay. Then he was gone. The main artery to his heart had been damaged, they didn't find it. He was gone. I'm telling you all this so that you love your children and family. We don't know what tomorrow will bring. Also PLEASE think about drinking and driving. DON'T Drink and Drive. You don't have to be drunk to take a life.

AARON - Thought of you with love today, that is nothing new. Thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and pictures in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.


This poem was posted on a MADD site on Facebook, it is so much how I feel.....


These Shoes

I am wearing a pair of shoes. They are ugly shoes. Uncomfortable shoes. I hate my shoes. Each day I wear them and each day I wish I had another pair. Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step; yet, I continue to wear them. I get funny looks wearing these shoes. They are looks of sympathy. I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs. They never talk about my shoes. To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable. To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them. But, once you put them on, you can never take them off. I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes. There are many pairs in this world. Some women are like me and ache daily as they try to walk in them. Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much. Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt. No woman deserves to wear these shoes. Yet, because of these shoes, I am a stronger woman. These shoes have given me the strength to face anything. They have made me who I am. I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
