  1. Ghosts is great. Sad that the Viking ghost is gone already they could have done a lot of funny gags with him. It's hilarious when that hippy lady walks through people. I agree about LaBrea, started out great but the last few episodes were great to fall asleep too and to be honest I don't care to stream those episodes to see what I missed when I fell asleep. We've also been watching a comedy called Wellington Paranormal on CW.
  2. I really dislike the 16.9 ratio they do when they do a HD 'remaster' of a 4.3 ratio show. You miss out on so much background detail especially in Cooters garage or Boss's office. Fox/Disney learned the hard way when they did a 16.9 remaster of the first 19 Simpson's seasons and cut off a bunch of visual jokes and subsequently went back and remastered them in 4.3 again after fan backlash.
  3. Wife and I finally got the Christmas tree up with a twist...We bought a potted live one instead of dragging the artificial one out and moving furniture to find a place to put it. Got the tallest live Alberta Spruce at the nearby Lowe's, it's about a 3 footer. Saturday we took a tour of the Stranahan mansion all decorated. I shot video and a few pics will edit it together and post it on my YouTube channel within a week or two. Only two rooms were underwhelming, one looks like the person who won the lottery to design that room either didn't have the time or was just lazy as all they did was put up a pre lighted tree and didn't even put ornaments on it. The master bath was the best, it was decorated like Halloween.

    What a stunner of a F1 2021 season finale https://motorsports.nbcsports.com/2021/12/12/max-verstappen-f1-champion-lewis-hamilton-abu-dhabi/ Did not see that happening. Thought for sure Lewis would have won. Maybe it's different in F1 but I always thought once you pit during Cautions/Safety car you give up race positions if nobody else pits. Then again maybe the stewards wanted to give the two going for the title the best restart.
  5. I thought 'this looks familiar' then I searched my post history lol
  6. Had a 'cousin Alice' in middle school, nobody bullied her, not even the boys because she was stood eye to eye or taller than most of the boys in school. She could spike a volleyball that you didn't want to be on the receiving end of it.
  7. It looks a lot better on smartphones now.
  8. Hey Roger have you seen that Comet that's passing by this week in the night sky. Local news meteorologist mentioned if we didn't have cloudy nights every night this week we would've been able to see it.

Ty Dillon was going to drive the 94 but that has changed since the #42 was available. Richard Petty will be Chairman of the team. Old Petty Enterprise's crew chief Mike Beam will serve as President and oversee day to day operations. Son in Law Brian Moffit will be exec vp of sales. Chase Elliott had fun in his Nitro Rallycross debut. Won in the head to head race against Tanner Foust. Finished 2nd in the semi final And unfortunately 8th in the final
  10. That's funny because I thought of that episode on the drive home .
  11. Sending healthy well wishes Hoss and Roger. Had a haunting experience last week. Was cleaning this house that was built in the 1900's. The last day I was there alone and I was cleaning the windows and one of the interior doors tried slamming shut. It ended up banging into the tool chest that the homeowner left there because he's fixing up the place. The hairs on the back of my neck and arms stood straight up after that lol. I quickly finished the windows and got the heck out of there.

    I'm about a 7.5 hour drive away from it on the opposite end of Lake Erie from Roger. Plans for Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/11/30/nashville-mayor-agrees-to-plan-to-revitalize-fairgrounds-speedway/ Majority owner of Richard Petty Motorsports sold his stake to GMS Racing https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/12/01/richard-petty-motorsports-to-sell-majority-interest-to-gms-racing-owner/ . GMS Racing will takeover both the Charters for the #43 and the Petty-Ware Charter. Richard Petty will still have a minority stake in the still to be named team and Erik Jones is still expected to drive the #43 for 2022. Front Row Motorsports finally released their 2022 driver lineup. Michael McDowell will return in the #34 and Todd Gilliland will take over the #38 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/11/30/michael-mcdowell-todd-gilliland-zane-smith-bob-jenkins-front-row-motorsports-reveals-2022-driver-lineup/ Todd Gilliland is the son of their former driver David Gilliland.

    Looks like Nascar Cup series might return to Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway https://www.jayski.com/2021/11/29/nascar-expected-to-return-to-nashville-fairgrounds-speedway/ Probably won't be till 2023 but YeeeeHaaaawwww
  14. Seen the new Ghostbusters movie yesterday. If you're a fan of the original Ghostbusters movies, not that horrible 2016 version, you'll love this new one. In fact you should watch the first movie before seeing the new one as it ties into that one. The ending is a bit of a tearjerker. Got all my Christmas shopping done over the weekend. I'm glad too with all the crazy stuff going on, with the mob looting at stores and crazy drivers and absolutely rude nasty people. Caught some interesting stuff on the dashcam but the language is NSFHazzardnet . One lady almost tboned the car in a parking lot because she was in such a rush.
  15. I wouldn't worry unless the next one is named Persei, that means Lrrr and his fellow Omicronians are invading Earth
  16. He talks about his two latest movies, Dukes of Hazzard etc... https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dukes-of-hazzard-john-schneider-general-lee-cancel-culture-poker-run-christmas-in-tune
  17. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

    I raced that track in a sim a few times. Very unique and interesting track. I was sad to hear that it closed a few years ago. Well don't think Dodge will be making a return to Nascar. The Charger and Challenger final production year will be 2024. According to industry rumors it will also be the death of the V8 muscle car at Dodge as their next 'muscle car' will be electric. Another rumor making the rounds is since Ford, GM, Dodge and other manufacturers are doing away with cars is that Nascar might move towards either SUV or truck body's for racing. SUV's racing the Daytona 500, I just can't picture that. I can see Nascar making the truck series the top series with full size trucks and Xfinity series running midsize trucks.
