I hope Hobie is okay. I heard Loretta Lynn is pretty upset because her long- time ranch foreman was killed in the floods. Last I heard 24 died and 30 were still missing. We just had a 2 year old girl drown the next county over. When she came up missing dogs followed her scent into a river. They found her body a mile downstream. I got a ton of yard work done today...pretty hot out.

We're supposed to have feels like temps in the 100's today. Not looking forward to getting on my dad's garage roof to patch the hole this afternoon caused by the tree branches a few weeks ago. Will be fun since he buried the 16' ladder in there and I can only get too the 8'A ladder. After that the only thing left on the list of my uncle's demands is cleaning my dad's garage out. Only things going back in there is what belongs in there, everything else is either getting sold, trashed or scrapped and if my dad has a problem with that he can bleep to his brother about it. Wife's checking out storage units today for the stuff we have in there. Hobie if you're in that flooding mess, thoughts and prayers to ya.

I wonder if Mr. Winkle was in the area. LOL I think the Jude Emery one was the worst.....just my opinion.

Hobie did all that rain in Tennessee affect you? Man 17 inches of rain in 24hrs has to be a new record for anywhere in America. Friday we finally figured out what was rattling in the wife's car, turned out the rear shocks were the cause. That noise has been puzzling us and the mechanics for the past few months. I though it might have been a loose exhaust pipe. One mechanic thought it was the bushings. I was able to pinpoint the sound was coming from the left rear while driving around our apartment parking lot. One mechanic went with the wife for a drive and he climbed half into the trunk to pinpoint the source and felt a lot of vibration in the LR shock tower. He put it on the lift and checked the bushings and they seemed fine so he ordered a set of shocks and thank God that was the problem. Now the car is quiet again and we can drive it without worrying if anything is going to fall off and leave her stranded somewhere.

Ryan Blaney stole the win at MIS yesterday. 3 of the 4 Hendrick Motorsports cars dominated most of the race swapping the lead several times. On a late race restart Kyle Busch pushed Ryan Blaney to the lead before falling back to 7th. Ryan Blaney was able to hold off both Kyle Larson and William Byron in the final exciting laps. Austin Dillon was having an awesome race till Brad Keselowski turned him at the start finish line shortly after Stage 2. Top 10 1 Ryan Blaney 2 William Byron 3 Kyle Larson 4 Kurt Busch 5 Denny Hamlin 6 Matt Dibenedetto 7 Kyle Busch 8 Chase Elliott 9 Brad Keselowski 10 Martin Truex Jr Erik Jones signed a 1 year contract extension with Richard Petty Motorsports for 2022 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/08/22/erik-jones-returning-to-rpm-in-2022/ NFL Great Emmitt Smith is adding Nascar team owner to his resume https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/08/21/nascar-emmitt-smith-jesse-iwuji-xfinity-series-team/ will be teaming with driver Jesse Iwuji to start an Xfinity team for 2022.

Oh I know now, boy I got my episodes mixed up . Not going to say though as I cheated and looked it up on the DoH Wiki.

We had sunny weather here today, so we set off for the beach. Despite the water still being a bit cold, I had a quick swim in the sea for the first time in years. We then went along the coast to a very picturesque village with a working harbor for some very fresh fish and chips!

Cousin HossC... Also in Season 3 Enos Strate to the Top when Enos is sitting in his patrol car, in the town square, and he's looking at the wanted poster of the bank robbers. They drive past him, and he says "That's them!" His mouth don't move. Also in Season 2 Jude Emery Daisy says "Some cowboy Jude!" Her mouth don't move.

Kurt Busch reportedly has two offers on the table for 2022 but hasn't elaborated any further than that. Sunday's Cup Indy RC race was the least watched Indianapolis Cup race besides the 2018 Monday rain postponed race https://www.jayski.com/2021/08/17/indianapolis-tv-ratings-4/ Nascar is reinstating some Covid protocols such as masks and social distancing https://www.jayski.com/2021/08/17/nascar-implements-several-covid-19-protocol-adjustments-beginning-this-weekend/ . So we won't be seeing the media on top of the driver's anymore this year. They'll have to put their phones and mics on selfie sticks again lol. I don't know why but I found it funny seeing all those poles shoved in driver's faces. I just thought any minute now a pissed of racer is going to take one of those poles and either break it or swing it at someone lol. The races are at Michigan this weekend but on NBCSN.
