Wow..takes me longer to get out of the parking lot!
Thank you and God bless you.
Owe ya a taco or a banana....or what ever.
Thanks for the ping and a nice thread it is!
Seems that as of late, I have not had time to watch a race, let alone play on the thread.
There are 4 - FOUR - races that I will absolutely not miss.
The Monster Mile is one of those 4 races.
I told the Mrs long ago, "Your 'Honey Do' list takes a back seat to certain races and certain caliber's.
For example, when the 308 semi-auto arrives, my words were, "x-out Saturday morning - got serious bidness the boy and I need to tend to! The Gun-Powder God has spoken!"
'They are racing at Dover this weekend, dear.'..........
"This is a must watch and a 'Do not disturb' race."
The Nascar God's have spoken, so it is, so it shall be!
Funny thing I noticed......time to go shoot - I get up real early....xyl still sleeping.......life is good!.....30 miles out into the desert.
Time for the race........vacum / carpet cleaner / etc has to come out......
"Dearest wife, the Nascar God's are gonna get you!"
Long live 7.62 and .308!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...and 9mm and 22LR......oh, and can't forget the xyl's 380...:)
Got it. Good looking thread.
Wind shifted this morning down here, rain didn’t start until mid-afternoon. Didn’t get much and I think it’s done already.
Thnx...
Got some sprinkle rain here today. Last night was exicting tho...
We had some nice breezes this morning. Temps dropped about ten degrees in one shot.
Thank you for the great thread. I needed a little sanity early this week.
Not that I’m going to find it here....
Real bummer seeing the 07 go. IMHO the Jack Daniels Chevy was among the sharpest paint schemes in NASCAR.
Am I a RACIST if I enjoy NASCAR on Sunday ??? Get it ??? RACIST !!!
Come on SMOKE get back in the groove !!!
Sanity calling. We got fog so thick that you can cut it with a fork...
Did you answer the phone when it called? They always say “wrong number” when I answer. I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell....
Nice weather here. Last gasp before 6 months of winter.
Clear w/highs of 93, low’s in the 20’s, supposed to last for the next 5 days. Great fall weather.
Dover is a wild-card race, like Talledaga, to me. Can’t get a handle on my selections, which is nothin new, but this race & track are fraught w/multiple dangers. Whoever I pick for my “C” driver will wreck and my “B” drivers leave me shaking my head. Add to that the 40% chance of rain at Dover on Sunday...all in all a good day to hide in the dog-house. I suspect it will be a boom or bust day for contenders & players.
We should add “FF” (fist-fights) to the number of caution guesses this week. I think the inner child is going to release some pent-up emotions...Dale Jr., K.B., Ambrose, Montoya, Harvick are all good candidates.
Not to worry HDx2 as these only occur after dark 0 thirty...
20’s???
It’s 70 here and I’m thinking about turning the heat on.
Two Halloweens ago it was -10 for the little frozen trick-or-treaters. I fight the Mrs. about having the heat run in the morning then turning on the air-conditioning in the afternoon. Bend is reknown for having the shortest (garden) growing season in the U.S. of 89 days w/o frost. We didn’t make it this year.
Smoke from a 7000 acre blaze 100 miles S of Bend moved into the area late this afternoon.
Local news says a man was arrest here for a double-murder commited in Lubbock 3 years ago. Leave the light on for him.
Another good race coming up and I’m clueless as who to run. And that’s a good thing cause once I start thinking about it it’s all over.
I agree, the hustle & bustle around the house at race time is the primary reason I record races and watch them a couple of hours after start time.
Your solution is simple. Portable satellite dish, vehicle w/electric accessories, TV on the tail gate and you can plink away during commercials. You can reload during the race; you don’t have to worry about missing cautions as they always happen during the commercials.
You cannot, under any circumstances, shoot your TV!! It just ain’t right.
Please send the guy back unless you want to support him for the rest of your life, we will terminate.
Chilly last night. Left the windows open and had to get two quilts!
