Les Paul, RIP

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Visionary and innovative musician Les Paul has passed away at 94.  He helped bring the electric guitar into the spotlight, and his work helped pioneer modern day rock ‘n roll.  He truly lived a long prosperous life, and will be missed.  If you’d like to pass along your condolances, you could do so at his website.

Congratulations to U-37 Schumacher Racing and their 3rd place finish at the Chevrolet Cup on Lake Washington. The boat ran strong and finished 1st in heat 2b on Sunday Morning. Back up driver J.W. Myers drove well throughout the weekend, but came up a bit short in the winner take all final. Road wishes the team good luck on the next race in Evansville Indiana on the weekend of August 21st.  Pictures from Seafair are below. Enjoy!
