T'was the night before Rolex
and all through the garage,
not a single socket turning,
not even for tires...
All the tools were stored in tall toolboxes with care,
Prepared for Rolex's 24 hours (and plus) of wear...
((Not enough space...yada yada))
...Merry Rolex to all and to all a good night!

The car has been prepped.
The pit stops have been practiced.
And now it’s time to go racing at Daytona.
Tomorrow we race the Rolex 24.

The amount of times I listened to Rolex qualifying at work today and continued to mutter angrily that it is the "Bus Stop"...
Never forget (this weekend). 😅

Reading about hearts this morning and imagining the brain telling the heart in a stereotypical '20s salesman voice "you kid--you're gonna pump blood. That's your only job, and you're gonna love it!"

Turns out when you erase all your social media and take a six-month hiatus from the industry, you at least miss race cars. And the friends you made watching them.
