Thanks all, I appreciate the support and a place to sound off. I?m very proud of my kiddo for achieving the academic skills and abilities to become an FBI agent and have told her so. Even if she weren?t so skilled I?d be proud of her and love her just for trying to do what ever she is good at or wants to do. I?ll be right there for her, covering her six and whispering suggestions but never shouting orders. Same with the other kiddos, all same-same. I guess I should have known I?d have future issues with ?Duey? as she is the kiddo that loved to go racing with me. I let her hot lap the car and she really figured out how to dive into a corner and come out howling and digging and take it up a lot closer to the wall than I did. Zow, that kiddo could haul buns, scary stuff. Her 1/3 mile high bank fast time was usually a half second slower than mine. And if I had put power steering in, she?d have beaten my time, no doubt about it at all.( I?d set the car up to have 1.25 steering turns lock to lock; Corvette steering box, so it was a momma bear to turn unless at full racing speed). I close my eyes and I see this black helmet just barely above the side bars, all leaned over buzzing the engine up about 6.5 K RPM and just screaming down the back straight away. I bought her a Simpson driving suit and matching full-face helmet. It was black with silver and bright blue stripes down the arms and legs. She was styling and absolutely loved it. I didn?t let her go wheel to wheel racing though as it simply gets to damn rough on a high bank oval and she?d probably have gotten pissed and put a wheel or front spoiler on a few of the idiots and looped them to the infield. The image on the back of my racecar was a cloud with a hand/finger pointing. The caption was ?XI. Thou shalt not tap thy neighbor?s bumper?. And I meant it and I was concerned that Duey meant it more than I did. Oh, her real name is Kristy and ?Duey? is from the Italian word meaning two. I just got to calling her Duey because she number two daughter.
So anyway, time for new images now I reckon. I suppose there are a lot of highly professional people in the FBI. It?s just a damn pity that none of them are in leadership positions. Perhaps Mueller can make heads or tails of it all and sort things out, I certainly hope so cause now I have a serious vested interest.
Again thanks for your support, kind words and usual good advise. Now, if I could figure out how to post a pic, I?d show ya?ll what an incipient FBI agent looks like. Now where is the help screen or does anyone have a short form instruction set.

Man that sounds like fun!. How lucky can a girl get any way! You and Griz should talk and trade stories about your drivin' days. My youngest is a big racin' fan too. I never have to wonder where those two are. They are watchin the races or a ball game or my boy is playin golf. Eat, sleep, drink ball games and I love every minute of it. Cause I don't have to worry if they are alright. The worst that can happen is they fall off the couch or stub their toe on the way to the refrigerator at half time.

My second daughters name is Kristy and my Dad was my teacher at driving and yep he yelled at me about rules of driving and taught me to race my mom and him, my husband says I race like the Indy 500 when I drive (lead foot) you bring back some memories of being with my Dad. Well she loves you Dad. Oh yes I was also number two daughter and hung around my Dad a lot. What do you expect she wants to make you proud. Sounds like she already is. Just let her know you worry...but then she probably knows that too! How sweet the bond between Dad and daughter.
