I know I know.. ya already plan to eat and drink enough this week-end to sustain a small squad of recons a month in the bushes.. and the latest news on nascar and its green 'bent' of late probably grates ya like crazy

Don't forget to budget in the 600 miler after the Indy 500.. run at King JJ's home track no less. It should be a real feast, a smorgasboard of action.. if we're lucky. ;-]

Lap 365 — Kyle Busch gets past Greg Biffle for third place.

Lap 362 — Kasey Kahne leads Denny Hamlin by a little more than one second.

Lap 360 — Forty laps to go.

Lap 358 — After the stops, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski are the leaders. The miscue on his pit stop has dropped Jimmie Johnson to 13th place, one lap down.

Lap 355 — Kevin Harvick Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman and others pit. Jimmie Johnson will have to serve a stop-and-go penalty.

Lap 354 — Kasey Kahne, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin pit. Johnson leaves his stall with the gas can still attached.

Lap 353 — Kyle Busch and Greg Biffle bring their cars to pit road for what could be the last time tonight.

Lap 350 — Fifty laps to go. Greg Biffle has passed Dale Earnhardt Jr. for fourth place.

Lap 347 — Jimmie Johnson gets around Dale Earnhardt Jr. for third place. Earnhardt has a couple of pieces of trash on the grille of his Chevrolet.

Lap 345 — Martin Truex Jr. is reporting oil on the backstretch. As it just so happens, he’s in 11th place, the first car a lap down. He couldn’t possibly have an ulterior motive for wanting a caution, could he?

Lap 343 — Kasey Kahne led at the 500-mile mark last year, but finished 22nd.

Lap 341 — After losing power on the track, Mark Martin heads to the garage.

Lap 340 — Kasey Kahne leads Denny Hamlin by about 9/10ths of a second. It’s another second or so back to third-place Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Lap 337 — Greg Biffle and Jimmie Johnson are fighting hard for fourth place.

Have to mention one item because it was so funny.
While I was still watching I saw the umbrella take off straight up into the air like Julie Andrews was attatched.
It litterly went 50 feet over my oak trees.
That image will be with me forever.

Those winds from a tornado can do strange stuff.

Then I got the hell away from the windows so don't know what happened then.

farther down, you’re still on the air so I’m guessing you fared well.?.

Off to Cal.

Hope y’all have a good week...

Thanks.

Had several Legionaires helping clean up today. You know, cutting up limbs and a few trees.
Really, this was not a big deal compared to other years.
This little tornado just took off and twisted some high trees.

Found everything scattered in the woods. No one hurt and most pieces are back together.

Just stopped for my nap.

Glad to hear it was more inconvenience than injury.

Through the years I’ve done both tornadoes and hurricanes through the windshield, ain’t none of them fun so when I saw your post it was well, you know.

remember rule number one for clean up, put a foot on or through those things you’ve been meaning to replace but couldn’t get permission from the boss to.

then go shopping!

later
