    Spike got a reaction from Skipper Duke in NASCAR news   
    I had plans to watch both Talladega races this weekend but watched about 5 minutes of each of them . Saturday I was busy mowing lawns till about 6 and when I got out of the shower caught the last gwc start and end of the Xfinity race. Sunday celebrated a friend's birthday so just caught a few laps here and there. 
    NASCAR related news....I stopped at a garage sale over the weekend and scored some NASCAR cars, Bill Elliott's 94 McDonald's Mac Tonight, Kyle Petty Coors 42 and a Richard Petty car and hauler collector's set. Lady gave me a great deal on the Bill Elliott car and Kyle Petty car but I paid almost full price for the Richard Petty set.

    Glad to see your doing a little better Roger. There's been a lot of new viruses this past winter/spring season. 
    I expect mother's day is going to be a short visit because the m-i-l will lay a thick guilt trip on us if he doesn't get the loan. But we weren't the ones who jumped off a cliff without a parachute. We'll give them probably a $100 grocery store gift card to help out but we're not going to empty our savings to bail him out. Can't wrap my head around it still. I mean my God he basically committed financial suicide. His new car is in his mother's name so if he files for bankruptcy they probably won't take it away but still.

    SMH, The predicament my brother in law got himself into. Turns out they didn't roll the $5k into the new car loan so he is making 2 car payments a month, one for the totalled car. He asked me yesterday if my credit union does loans for for his predicament, I told him all he can do is try as I didn't know. I couldn't believe it. If he doesn't get a $5k loan quick he's going to lose everything. I can't wrap my head around how he got himself into this, my God.

    I checked in once in awhile to see the places but didn't see a lot of it. Feeling pretty decent today so I worked outside most of the day....at a slow pace. Thanks Garrett.

    Good advice. There is nothing like having the DVDs. Then you are not at the mercy of the internet.

    You can buy episodes or seasons on Amazon prime, VUDU, or Apple TV+. But it would be far cheaper to pick up the complete series on DVD and get a good upscaling Blu-ray player that will convert the SD format to HD.

    Finally started to feel good physically but had a hard emotional hit today. I turned 64 (7 days after Bo turned 64) and it hit me that I will never again get a birthday call from my daughter. I'm sure when Father's Day comes around I'll get knocked down again since she was my only child.

    With NBC losing 10 NASCAR cup series races for 2025 they are dropping the final 8 Xfinity races this year and CW will air them instead 
    https://sports.yahoo.com/cw-network-exclusively-broadcast-final-143216337.html
    The 2025 TV deal will make it harder to watch some of the races. Fox will get the first 14 races the next 5 will only be on Amazon Prime streaming, the other 5 will be on TNT or Max streaming service but only if you subscribe to the premium sports package on Max. The final 14 races will be on NBC.

    Get to feeling better Roger, hopefully the break in rain will help. 
    Took the G8 to the first local cars and coffee meet yesterday. Might also be the last cars and coffee meet this year lol. A lot of idiots showed up acting like idiots, revving their motors, revving competitions, burning rubber leaving the meet, doing drugs etc... So yeah will not be surprised if the rest of the meets are canceled, this is the 4th or 5th parking lot that the organizer has had to ask permission for in the past decade because idiots got them kicked out of the other lots over the years. Was a few very interesting cars that showed up. A Citroen DS3, 60's Lincoln Continental that was lowered 3 inches with stock rims and original hubcaps, 90's Miata with a 90's Ford 5.0 cobra engine, an old Cushman scooter.

    Garrett your boy Chase finally put it in victory lane today in Texas . 
    I've never liked Denny, heck his first season he about ran thru Kyle Petty in practice. 
  22. Wow

    You definitely would have, they did 3 or 4 gwc's and Chase's team were telling him to shut the engine off as much as possible as they didn't think he'd have enough to get around the track for one more gwc. It ended under caution so he coasted the last half lap.
