Weekend in Logan

I created this blog 6 or 8 months ago so I figure it's about time I post something. Earlier this summer I got a phone call from Devan- he said he had great news. That statement usually scares me. I believe we got a couple of hound dogs last time he said that...anyways it was different news this time. He proceeded to tell me that Alex Anderson, his old mission companion from Logan, had found him the perfect demolition derby truck. We went up to the derby last fall and Dev was on the pit crew for Alex and he's wanted to actually be in one ever since. So we ended up buying an old '69 ford for $100 that had been sitting in a field for the last 10 years.
This last weekend we went up to Logan so Devan and Alex could get this truck ready for the derby on September 18th. They got it running, ripped out the dash, and probably some other important things but I couldn't tell you what. They still have to weld the doors shut and move the gas tank, but they'll just do that the day before the derby.
Working on old trucks is not exactly my field of expertise so I went shopping while the boy worked on the truck. I also went and visited my aunt Cory. It was fun to visit with her and see all her projects she's been working on.
That night we went up to Preston, Idaho to watch their Demolition Derby. It rained a lot and there were a couple of times I was afraid we were going to get struck by lightening but we still had a blast. Devan's even more excited for his derby now.

 This is the Preston, Idaho derby. Devan will be doing the same thing on September 18th.
