CNH 320 Seriously though.....food

That's always good advice about getting a used car checked out and especially now. A mechanic just told me some parts are unavailable and that is going to get much worse and could last a year. Can you imagine having a car that needs a vital part but otherwise is fine and not being able to drive it for a year?! I'm pretty excited about the Braves in the World Series!

Baseball (As I type this the Braves are one inning away from making it to the World Series)

At least showed up once in awhile, like Hughie Hogg did.

I felt exactly that way when that episode first aired. I was so happy about the boys coming home that I didn't even think about being sad Coy and Vance were leaving....until they did leave.

If you can find it at all. Nobody wants to unload ships. Nobody wants to drive trucks. Nobody wants to work in stores. The government pays folks too much to stay home. Those people being lazy just laugh at the people who do work. The Braves had a chance to take a 3 games to none lead but blew it in the eight inning by giving up 4 runs.

We know where we're going if things ever hit the fan. Hobie can bring the shine and I'll bring the buttermilk and we'll have a shindig while everybody else is suffering.

At least we don't ever have to worry about 'ol Hobie ever changing anything in the Moonshine 400. Although I do remember that one year where he made a no buttermilk rule. I just put mine in a jug and marked it XXX and 'ol Hobie never knew it.....until now.

It's a good idea to stock up on stuff. I'm hearing many stories of current and future shortages. It's a tough call because stocking up on stuff with potential future shortages seems irresponsible to society but not providing for your loved ones is irresponsible to your family. Baseball is down to 5 teams. The Red Sox and Astros will battle for a World Series appearance and the Braves will battle the winner of the Dodgers vs Giants Thursday night.

Here's an old Cubbie post.

I'm an astronomer so I like the Astros. They had a chance to advance last night but lost. I like the Braves more. My Pirates are basically a triple A team now.

Does D'oh mean Dukes of Hazzard? LOL Australia

Hey Garrett! Good to hear from you. Have you been following the baseball playoffs much or don't you care since the Cubs aren't in it? I'm rooting for the Braves since they are close to Hazzard County. It looks like my Pirates will be bad forever. Still following NASCAR all the time? I see your Bears are in second place. Sorry about that mess with fantasy baseball. If I would have guessed it would have caused that much trouble I wouldn't have left. I really felt bad.

Southern (I think the donuts and beer comment was from a Georgia episode....maybe even One Armed Bandits)

garage (I believe that was their favorite place to have their breakfast of donuts and beer)

My elderly mom has also become like that. It's pretty sad to see, especially since they don't have a very big house. It's hard to believe how clean and organized she used to be. Both of my parents are in bad shape. I like to think positive and be grateful that they made it to their 80s but it sure hurts to see them in so much pain, both physically and mentally.

Is the UK going through what the US is? The government is paying people so much to stay home that nobody wants to work so jobs aren't getting filled and businesses are struggling, or even closing. Dirt track racing is over. Yesterday was the last race at our local track. Still have a couple dirt bike races to go though. A chill has been in the air at night, that's for sure. The last two nights we have had a campfire going outside. There's nothing sweeter smelling than campfire smoke.

The Dollar Tree is now the $1.50 store. It sounds like there is going to be more shortages of stuff. ABC Nightly News had Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytical on. He's a heavy hitter in economics and I trust him. He is advising buying Christmas presents now. The Delta variant was so bad in Asia and the factories were shut down for so long, shortages of just about everything are coming.

It's good to hear from you again Philip. Coy and Vance did a good job of keeping the series going but like most fans I rejoiced when Bo and Luke came back. I wish Coy and Vance would have came back for visits. I've met Byron Cherry twice. Great guy!

Poor Spike....more cats. Our puppy has gotten pretty good at scaring deer away. She sits on the window sill and barks when they come in for apples. It's so funny to see a 200 lb buck run for his life when a 15 lb puppy barks.

I was just flipping through some old posts here and noticed I met Dean on 5-19-19.

He played him during Ray's Northeast Ohio Dukes stunt shows. If you haven't checked it out on his website you should.

So sad to hear this. I had several conversations with Dean and loved the guy. Same for Ray's dad. Thanks for telling me Skipper. I'll toast Dean with a glass of buttermilk tonight.
