Hi Roger...thanks for dropping by and leaving me a message. I am sorry that I missed you.
I had a pretty good Thanksgiving, ate too much, but what else is new? How about you? I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and that you'll have a GREAT Christmas season.
-
LOL you said the opposite than what I was planning on doing, but you made a lot of sense so I may just do th at. If I change my mind I better do it now since it is about to start. LOL Thanks!
-
LOL. I have never seen the award show myself and am very interesting to see how it is done. That is good that your brother has the channel for you to at least catch some of it if not all of it. Yeah Gordon's pit crew won the fastest pit crew award...YAY TEAM 24
. Am excited about that but was also surprised because he doesn't always have the fastest pit stops. I will take it all the same and am happy about it.
-
I kinda assumed the award for popularity will go to Jr for awhile and all your reasons make sense. Or what I would think of as well. Nothing against him, he deserves it and am happy for him. Was joking about Gordon. Am sure there are other drivers that would probably win before him, but I could be wrong. I'm not too upset about it since I do know he does have a good fan base following him.
And I am not upset at you and wouldn't be if you were one of those people who love to hate Gordon. I have always heard that about Gordon, but could never understand how anyone could love to hate him...heard he is a guy you either love or love to hate. I guess we all know where I stand on that.
LOL.
And you made complete sense...am glad all that has gone onto Kyle Busch. LOL...someone more deserving of it. *Shame on me for saying that!*
-
oh and if I do find that place, you will be the first I'll let know.
I can deal with snow for Christmas, but after that, it all needs to disappear and quick.
-
Montoya whine? LOL...I say that sarcastically. I remember clearly him whining...think I remember him whining this season as well after running into Gordon intentionall about how hard Gordon is to race.
OK sorry...am not a big Montoya fan if you can tell. LOL. Not just cause the deal with Gordon too. To me he just seems like he expects everyone to give him what he wants. My opinion of course. But yeah it took him three years to get where he is now and Hornish Jr has a ways to go. To me it would be a big risk for Patrick to switch over.
-
Talking about about the awards, are you going to watch the award show on SPEED tomorrow night? It is eight to eleven central time...or eleven thirty I can't remember. I am excited. Brooks 'n' Dunn will be the openning act -I really like Brooks 'n' Dunn and am excited about it.
Though now I am very confused on what to do...I am horrible at decision making. I am now forced on chosing to watch the awards show and record Numb3rs that is on at nine central time or record the awards and watch Numb3rs. ERRR How unfair that they would do this to me! It would just seem wrong not to watch Numb3rs at nine since that is what I do every Friday night, but at the same time...Don't know if Gordon will win or is even nominated for an award, but it would be great to see it since I have yet to see a NASCAR award show. But a new episode of Numb3rs is on...LOL
-
I did read on NASCAR.com that Jr has been selected or voted and awared as being the most popular driver...again. Seven times in a row. I think it is about time that Gordon wins it. HA HA. Guess he was only there for the award though today...he got there before the award was given and left right after. Said he learned from a previous time how important it is to show up after he got backlashed for accepting the award via video or something like that.
Though I am kinda confused about the awards and what it was about because the awards ceremony is tomorrow night? You have any idea what that was about?
-
But I kinda agree with DW when he says that he wouldn't risk making the jump over...of all the idy drivers or whatever you call them, the only one with success is Montoya. Hornish Jr is doing OK though.
-
I was on NASCAR.com a half hour or an hour ago and I missed that article. I am glad that it turned out OK for Carl at the end but it would have been nice if they had asked first. Though you were brave to go on there...there is still A LOT of articles on Johnson. I haven't read them, but the article and the small summary..I don't have the patience to read on and on on-line sometimes.
I may have seen the picture of Patrick in JR Motorsports jumpsuit and know that rumors are going around about her driving for him...though of the small summary on NASCAR.com that I read, that nothing is set in stone or something like that - thatJr don't know yet. I guess for some reason I am not too excited about her coming aboard NASCAR, but she may surprise me. I am trying to keep an open mind about the whole thing.

BRRRR...it snowed like five minutes this morning when I was getting the kids ready to go outside. Dang stuff stopped before we got out. I hate snow, but they would have liked it. Then it snowed again tonight, but only to put a layer of snow on the ground. BRRRR...I think I will pack and move somewhere where there is no snow and ice and where NASCAR is all year round. LOL. If I remember right...I could be wrong...but I think I remember someone saying that back when Richard Petty raced, it almost did go year round. But like I said, I can't remember for sure right now.
-
That is a cute age...my neice is two and a half years old so she is a little older than him. It will be fun to watch them this Christmas. To see them open the presents and so forth. And it does make you feel so great when they want you as you were saying.
Hope you have a great night...and day tomorrow. I don't blame you for not wanting to be at your computer after work if that is what you do at work. It would hurt your eyes and probably your head as well. I am glad that you take time out to hop onto hnet and message me!
I have to get ready for bed too...morning comes way too early. You sound exactly like me when thinking that I wish I could sleep in tomorrow. It would be nice. Sadly my alarm will be waking me up nice and early. LOL
-
Snow....brrrr! HOw dare you speak such four letter words to me! LOL. I dread snow. I hate snow. I can deal with it for Christmas, but after that it should just evaporate! LOL. Winter is so long and hard. LOL. It is cold and snowy, no baseball, and no NASCAR - strike three...I'm out. LOL Give me spring and Summer any day. THOugh I do agree with you, I do love Thanksgiving through Christmas - it is a great time of year even without baseball and NASCAR
-
I've been to NASCAR.com...afterall it is my number one stop when I come online
. but can't really say you are missing anything. I haven't read anything since that article I think...well I scanned an article yesterday about other highlights of the season but that is it.
-
I was so lost as well...don't know what I am going to do with myself the remainder of the off season.
I'm sorry that Mark didn't win for you. I am not offended that you wish for another champion than Johnson...everyone has the right to their own opinion and I understand how you feel like that. It would make it more interesting to have more than one guy winning it...Like Gordon, perhaps. LOL...or Martin
.
Your theory makes sense about the retaliation thing...it does make it interesting and exciting. Though also worrisome of what may come out of it. It is interesting to see if anything will be done about it in the off season.
-
I had a good Thanksgiving and enjoyed the break off of work. Though it made it hard to go back. LOL. You are braver than I...I didn't even go close to a store. LOL. Wow...maybe he bought one of those TVs for you? LOL That would be nice to have the money to do that.
-
Hey you're on! LOL. Your nephew sounds cute...how old is he again? They are cute at this age...too bad they can't stay this way forever. LOL. Oh well each stage seems to be cute and fun. I bet your nephew will be looking forward to Santa coming.
-
Thanks for the reply, Daney. All is alright here. Not much to complain about other than no races to watch. How sad is that...never was a fan of NASCAR - in fact thought any kind of racing was a senseless sport until I got back into the Dukes. Now look at me. LOL Oh well if that is all I have to complain about, all is good. Just saw you on last night and thought I'd say hi, it's been awhile.
-
Hi Daney...saw you were on and thought I'd send you a big HELLO. LOL. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and all is going well with you.
