    Wife and a friend surprised me yesterday by dragging me out to go fishing. First time since around 2013-14. Good to know casting is like riding a bike, you don't forget how to. I was the only one that caught a fish :lol:, and that little bullhead let me know it didn't appreciate being caught by stabbing me with one of his pokers while removing the hook lol. Stopped at a pizza joint after fishing since it was highly rated by locals, yes it was good. Was a nice way to cap off my birthday weekend, especially after the lousy Saturday visit with my dad that lasted just 10 minutes but that was as much as I could bear. Was going to go test drive a few cars Saturday but after that visit I cancelled that as I didn't want to drive anybody else's car angry. Unfortunately the interest rate sale is ending at the credit union and I won't be getting a car before that ends so I'll be paying the higher interest rates or I could just buy another SL that popped up at a local dealership and just keep driving a boring car till electric cars take over.

    I bet the rehab nurses and PT's threw a party Friday as my dad got released. Going to have to see if a local Starbucks or Tim Hortons has a bunch of $5 gift cards to hand out to them as an apology for his behavior. I don't know what has gotten into him but my patience is wearing thinner than a strand of hair. The way he has treated his brother the past few months is shameful. Friday I had my fill, told my dad he should be nicer but he didn't like hearing that so I left before I said something I'd regret. I came home and finished off a bottle of JD.

    I saw that!  That was crazy!!

    Penske Enterprise which owns the track and Indycar series is giving her a new car :tup:

    Interesting how far nascar has strayed from its roots. Chase Elliott has been parked for one race for spinning Denny Hamlin into the wall. Growing up watching nascar in the 1980's driver's rarely got penalized this severely for wrecking opponents. Usually the drivers worked it out amongst themselves or the France's would slap them with a huge fine. Corey Lajoie will be driving the #9 this weekend.

    So this week keeps getting crazier :wtf:

    While at work yesterday I received a notification from my ring camera...

    https://ring.com/share/f1612370-321b-4e03-9548-befc12c5e11b

    A careless idiot neighbor threw his cigarette butt in the dry grass. This is the 2nd video of the fire. After seeing this and noticing our next door neighbor wasn't out yet I did a 100m sprint to my wife's work building to get her phone and called the neighbor to alert her to get out. When she got to the door with her dog the maintenance guy for the neighboring property was able to put the fire out with a garden hose before it spread to any of the buildings.

    Been a weird holiday weekend so far. My dad got triple bypass surgery Friday, he's doing ok but has a long way to go. 

    Crazy neighbors next door got the boot out finally. However now there's a new crazy neighbor in the next building over :lol:. Cops have been here 3 days in a row for her. We came home from the hospital Friday and she was in the parking lot screaming obscenities at everyone, have no idea why. I live streamed the Ring camera to catch it on video. After talking with the on site maintenance about her I will be sending the video to management.

    Well y'all can stop throwing dirt on Jimmie Johnson...throw it on Kyle Busch. :blink:

    With that said...I totally agree with you all. I never thought I'd see a day where JJ would be in something other than Chevy. I have seen articles on it, but haven't brought myself to read it. Because...you know, reading it makes it true. I'd rather be the ostrich with my head in the sand when it comes to anything with my Hendrick boys (JJ will always be included in that list...LOL).  I don't get why he wants to change or to switch...probably never will. Maybe money has something to do with it. IDK. I do know that the current Chevrolet will stop making parts after (I think) next year. So there is talk about what they will drive after that...so maybe that has something to do with it. I've read articles where they are questioning whether Chevy will be in NASCAR after that. Which I can't see them NOT being in NASCAR, but maybe JJ knows something we don't know.

    Don't be throwing JJ under the bus so soon...HA HA. 

    And it's not just JJ...it's also Richard Petty. So why you not throwing dirt on him? Just poor JJ...LOL.

    OK in all seriousness, I agree with you. But I have a hard time being negative about JJ...even if I am disappointed by his choice he has made. He's not perfect afterall.

    Just super man. ;) 

    Richard Petty has no stake in the team anymore that's why it's called Legacy MotorClub Racing. Maury Gallagher bought out Petty's stake then sold it to Jimmie. Toyota must've threw a big number at them to switch from getting Hendrick motorsports stuff.

    The one I test drove was dark blue with white stripes. Was fully loaded but I didn't like the moonroof, that alone took an extra 1.5-2 inches of headroom in an already tight space. There's one I've been eyeing for a few months that still hasn't been sold that's silver with black stripes, I'm thinking the dealer might be interested in making a deal since they've been stuck with it for so long. After we got the Regal I wasn't really looking but our mechanic said my little red Saturn might be destined for the junkyard or I could throw more money at it replacing the front suspension. I'll have a talk with our banker this week and see what they say.

    After a lousy Saturday morning with my dad and uncle a friend took me out to test drive fun cars to cheer me up. Test drove a V6 Camaro that left me smiling the rest of the day. I don't think it was factory stock V6 as it sure didn't move like a V6. The exhaust was modified as it had a nice low thrumble. Great price too, such a great price everyone is telling me to go for it even though I'm trying to be practical in my next vehicle purchase lol.

    Hey I saw a video you might want to look up. Gordon put on a fake mustache and got a car salesman  to  let him test drive a car he was supposedly going to buy. When he got out on the road, he started doing crazy stuff and the salesman freaked and kept screaming  " You're going to pay for this car! " and then when he got back to the lot he took off his mustache while the salesman was freaking out and the manager was smiling ( He was in on it) and then the salesman saw who it was and knew it was a joke! :)  

    This is the 2nd one after it came out that the first one was a bit staged.

    Kids these days I swear...here we are busting a** at work while one of our coworker's called in sick. Turns out he isn't sick at all, he's selling crap on some app called Whatnot or something. One of my other coworkers is live streaming this :censored: online sale. Hope the boss sees it too and gives him a good reaming. No wonder this country is in the mess it's in with bums like this.

    Is it on Fox again? I still don't have it because of the contract dispute with Dish Network. When does it start? 

    Yeah it's on Fox. There is weather in the area and the race start has been pushed back to close to 4pm. Pretty good chance to get the full race in but with all the weird weather California is getting this week it might be postponed or rain shortened.
