From Matt's blog:
Joey and I are driving home from Wisconsin. We went up there for some fishing, but the weather just didn't cooperate. We ended up spending the night in a hotel with a pool, so him and Ashton (Pat Flanigan's son) got to play around there and we also hit two video arcades. Saturday night we also watched Transformers 2 for the second time. So even though we didn't get to fish, we had a pretty good time.
Last Friday night, my County Fair had some fights. County Fairs are kind of like main streets in small towns, they just seem to be losing their popularity. The Fair Board wanted to do something this year that was different and attract some new people; so they had some amateur fights. I helped as much as I could but Monte Cox ended up doing most of the work. As most of you know Monte is my former manager and the promoter of Extreme Challenge. The fights went well, I know the fair brought in a bunch of new people and Bad Boy Mowers (http://www.badboymowers.com/home.php) ended up giving me a battery-powered ATV. BBM and I have struck up a deal so you will hear more from them down the road. Here're some pictures of the ATV:

I want to thank Chad at Mullins Race Engines (http://www.mullinsraceengines.com/) for putting all of this together for me.
We had a lot of guys fighting this weekend, I don't know all the results, but those should be posted on the HIT Squad website (http://www.thehitsquad.com/index.html) here soon.
Finally, I ran across this interesting quote from John Wayne and I just wanted to share it with you:
"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."
