Today was the start of the Chilliwack mud bog racing. We entered the grounds after paying for a pit pass. Each racer
gets 2 runs each day and is judged by their 3 best runs out of 4. Everything from alcohol fueled big blocks with superchargers
to street machines were at the races, each in their respective class. After a day of racing we returned home to a barbeque and
a bondfire.

Spent the day watching the mud bogs today. There were some awesome rides racing, was really cool to watch them. Had a
nice fire in Rick`s backyard, was a great day...

This was the second day of racing. The mud was deeper today so some of the racers had problems getting through the
course. Our friend Rick won third place in his class. The "Hooligan" had raced through the mud 4 times. We applauded Rick on his
great race and the trophy he recieved.
Later we returned to Ricks place where we celebrated with our favorite. Steinez enjoyed a bottle of beer called "big trois pistoles".

Last day of the mud races today. Was even better, because the mud was deeper and heavier. Also it looked like some of
the guys used more than 4 cylinders of their V8`s on the last run. One truck almost flipped to it`s side due to the crazy torque
his engine put`s out...

Looks like you two are having a great time, thanks for sharing.

I'll chime in as well. I'm enjoying following along on your adventure. I deeply respect your support of the Canadian beef industry. Back in the mad cow days I ate beef for three meals a day until I finally ended up with gout. I was expecting to see you in Cowtown once you were done with the Kootenays. I think I could probably find you a steak here in town that you wouldn't choose to contaminate with Cattleboyz. You could save that stuff for the burgers. PM me if you are headed this way.

We woke up and had breakfast. Then we went down to Ricks Shop, Chilliwack Spring Service, and spent most of the day there.
After Rick finished work, we went out to do some fishing. We fished all night until it got dark, but we caught nothing. The sunset
was beautiful as we packed up our gear and left the Fraser river.

Went fishing for some salmon to the Fraser river this evening. Rick let me use his rod, was very cool. Unfortunately we didn`t
catch anything, but it was a great time...

Today after breakfast we went down to Pat`s Driveline to have our new front driveshaft installed. The whole operation at Pat`s
Driveline is extremely professional. Brian and Phil took measurements and fabricated a new driveshaft to meet our requirements.
Soon we had our new driveshaft installed and we drove to Vancouver.

First we had the new driveshaft installed, really nice guys at Pat`s Driveline. Then we went for some shopping to Vancouver, i got
some really great deals. Had lunch at "Best Burito", and yes, the burito was awesome...
