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. ;-]

Bad News, can't find my back porch furniture from the tornado.
Everyone is healthy. Will check it in the morning.
Thanks for the update, Good news.
furniture can be replaced.
I managed a 2 12 14 16 somehow
And thanks to you, Norm for ramrodding. Lots of us out here who don’t post much during the race, but keep up with the whole race lurking, and really appreciate all y’all do!
It’s not easy being the Maytag repairman of the forum. :-]
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.
and thanks to you Norm!!!
I had a fair score but the guy with high score nabbed 60 bonus points
DUDE! just getting ready to head to work and read about ya!
You and the family OK?
Oh Carp!
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...
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
