Aint No Sunshine When I Blog

by Ralph the Cat

Well, I know there was around 100 or maybe just 3, that were excited to read this blog covering Mountaineer when I first started it. Fact of the matter is, its been a busy summer. The last 6 months of my life have been life changing. I closed a chapter in my life and opened a new one, a new chapter that I am thrilled to be writing. As the cold months approach I will be back bolder than ever blogging about Mountaineer racing. When I find the time to handicap in the summer months, its usually at tracks where I know I have a shot at turning a profit, Mountaineer is not one of those. Mountaineer is an extra challenge I take on, a harsh reality check if you will. A track Ive beat numerous months with life changing scores, but a track that has also drained my bank account as fast as any. Mountaineer takes patience, extra work and a ton of luck to score, something I don't always have going for me when the sun's out. I look forward to the winter months of racing, filled with cancellations, sloppy frozen tracks, horrible rides and F bombs dropping out of my mouth like there's no tomorrow. I hope you find the time to join me and my ridiculous blogs concerning the devil, aka the Mountain. Please, join me as I pray, dear lord, I thank you for what you have given me, the love, the food and a life filled with joy, I ask you to watch over my picks, to make sure I don't lose my ass over these winter months at Mountaineer, I pray, just win baby... Amen
