And after that is the infamous Buttermilk 4.00. I wonder if anybody will make it around the barn all 4 laps this year.

The daylight scheduled Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead turned into a night race after several weather delays. Denny Hamlin dominated the race winning both stages and of course the race. Tyler Reddick though is the one that stole the show in my opinion. He fought for the lead several times once he made his way from 24th and ended up finishing 4th. Chase Elliot finished 2nd, Ryan Blaney 3rd and Aric Almirola rounded out the top 5. Tyler's RCR teammate Austin Dillon finished 7th. Jimmie Johnson did not have a good race, started 9th and quickly dropped to the 20's and ended up finishing 16th. Dale Earnhardt jr in what may be his final race finished 5th in Saturday's Xfinity race. He would have finished 2nd behind his teammate but a late caution and lousy restart killed his team's luck. Forgot to mention Nascar gave 1000 tickets to military for the Homestead race and will have 5000 fans in attendance at Talladega next weekend.

Wife and I went for a walk in one of our favorite local parks yesterday. Being a wet prairie It's mosquito haven when the temps are in the 70's like it was yesterday but we had a new secret weapon. Found this product called Buggy Beds Mosquito Repellent Pouch for $4 each at the store. They passed the first test, not a single mosquito landed on us though it was breezy yesterday so there were less than normal amount of mosquito's out but the ones that were out didn't want to land on us. So far I can recommend them, will have to see how they do in future outings as it says they last up to a month if you keep them in the resealable bag they come in. It was nice not having to take another shower to wash off insect repellent when we got home. The only downside is it appears they repell butterflies too. The kitten my in laws found will be in a pet foster home this week at least it will have a better chance at life than its mother who was hit and killed in front of their place.
