All ready scheduled to record!

Ahhh get to sleep in!

I'm so used to getting up at 3:00AM that I'm wide awake now at 5:00. Comparatively, I guess that is sleeping in for me.
Anyway.. It's raining for the morning warm up. Cal Crutchlow is fastest, Stoner second, Rossi third. Ben is back in 12th, and Nicky is 14th.
If it continues to rain, this may be another interesting race.lease:

Well.. MotoGP race was pretty good. Better than most were last year actually.
Glad to see Stoner finish where he did. Be interesting to see what (or who) he blames it on. The tires, the bike, the track, or just all the mean people who passed him.
