Garrett Duke

I am sorry to hear all that, Spike. That is frustrating and annoying. 

So yesterday got this ridiculous note on our door, everyone else in the complex did too, I figured we'd get something this week because the complex next door had a fire over the weekend. But imo this goes to far. There's a few people that feed the stray cats and some that put bird feeders up. So in the note it said unless those people stop they will be charged a pet fee. It doesn't end there either. Grille's are now basically banned, they didn't go so far as to say that but you have to have the grill 10 feet from any structure now instead of on your patio. In the building I live in that basically means grilling in the middle of the parking lot. Here's the best one... All curtains have to be white, any other color and you will get a lease violation fine. That's funny because I went through the last lease we signed in February and there's not a  thing about only having white curtains. This note was the last straw for our next door neighbor, she told us last night that she's breaking her lease and moving out as soon as she finds another place to live as I'm sure several others are also contemplating it. I'm hoping my wife heals up fast and gets back to work so we can get the heck out of here too as this is the last straw for me too. 

It may be a southern thing, though Richard Petty promo'd them on his car forever. They used them a lot in the NASCAR crew. They are used for headaches, back, muscle aches etc.

headache

Yeah Larson held off Reddick thanks to NASCAR's inability to fix the 1.5 mile package. Once the 2nd car catches the lead car and is stuck in its wake there's no passing the lead car. Imo they should just make all tracks minus Daytona, Talladega and Atlanta 750+ horsepower and get rid of some of the down force. 
Garret you didn't miss much. It wasn't that exciting except on the restarts. 

That's pretty much why they introduced the DRS (Drag Reduction System) in F1. The aerodynamics of the modern cars leaves a hole in the air making it difficult to follow closely. Now, at certain places on each circuit (between 1 and 3 locations depending on the track), if a driver can get within a second of the car in front of them at the detection spot they can open a flap on the rear wing, which gives them a few km/h extra. However, on some tracks a DRS train forms behind a slightly slower car, and as everyone is within a second of the car in front of them, they all get DRS!

Maybe it's part of a higher plan. HA. I saw earlier where Jr said he thought Logano was behind the glove. I didn't read the whole article, so I can't really say much about it. I'm just not a big fan of Logano. LOL 

Thank you, Hoss. I am glad to see F1 has started up again. Do you have a favorite driver? How did he do?
The Cup Series raced at Las Vegas and I yet again, missed it. I need to get back to watching the races, I don't know what my problem is. I went out instead of watching it. It looks like Kyle Larson held off Tyler Reddick to win the race.
Elliott seems like he is still struggling this year...but the season is still young.

I am glad your wife's surgery went well. I hope she recovers well.

I just thought ....if Lagano snitched on himself, he's schizophrenic...LOL!  The N in NASCAR, would stand for Nut job!  

BINGO!!

The first race of the F1 season took place yesterday in Bahrain, and it was pretty much a continuation of last year. Max Verstappen took pole and went on to win the race with his Red Bull team mate in second (albeit 22 seconds back). Behind them, the Ferraris, McLarens and Mercedes were all pretty close, although Mercedes had a battery issue which meant they couldn't show their full potential. Only a week to go until the next race in Saudi Arabia.

You?

Weatherman was the driver that the crew member attacked after the Xfinity race. Maybe that's what the fight was over?

I'm still confused. They talk about Joey Logano...I'd say most definitely him. But I don't know why he'd snitch on himself. Though it's Joey Logano, so no one really knows, I guess. LOL 

Back at the Boar's Nest, Garrett remains crouched down behind a large leafy bush with a mouth full of parking lot dust as the law finally drives away. After they are out of sight, Garrett stands up, spitting out the dry dust and glancing around a long moment before he steps out from under the bush. As he does so, he sees Roy's truck back out and quickly pulls up alongside of him. Garrett sighs a sigh of relief before throwing open the door and climbing in. Closing the door, he turns to Roy and says, "I thought I told you to leave."
Roy shrugs. "You can even ask my ma, I've never been good at listening," he grins crazily, "I bet you're glad of that now."
"If you say so," Garrett dryly responds, refusing to show any emotion.
"Anyway, I stayed in my truck and waited to see when y'all would come out to see if you needed any help. But lo and behold, you took the coward's way out and hid," Roy states as they leave the parking lot, "which just left me to wait until you decided to brave enough to reappear."
"I ain't no coward," Garrett hisses, "it was either go to jail, fight the law and add more charges onto their fake charges of me, or to get out of there. I chose to get out."
"I know, I know. I just wanted to get a rise out of you," Roy smiles smugly and looks over at Garrett, "and it worked."
"Just drive," Garrett states as he sinks down into his seat.
"Where to?" Roy asks.
"I don't -" Garrett starts to say before he spots the sheriff's car up ahead turning off onto another dirt road, "follow the sheriff at a distance. Don't let him spot you. He spots us, we are both going to jail."
"Woo hoo a car chase!" Roy laughs crazily, "A slow car chase, but hey...it's still a car chase!"
Garrett eyes him before he lights up another cigarette. "I'm glad you're excited about it," he dryly states, "I'm just hoping they'll lead us to something or somewhere seeing as how we got pulled into this mess and then left out to dry."
Roy nods. "Maybe Bo and Luke kidnapped Bill and Ernie!" he says with excitement in his voice as he slowly turns where the sheriff had turned, "That's why they weren't at the Boar's Nest as we had been expecting! Ooooo they gonna be in trouble!"
"So will we if we get caught," Garrett states blowing out smoke, "don't let him see us."
"Ten four grumpo," Roy responds, "but what you think Bo and Luke are doing to Bill and Ernie? Poor Bill and Ernie."
Garrett just rolls his eyes and stares out the window. 

Me?? Oh, you mean I have an idea of who the snitch is! YES!! Re-read the whole thing and look at it carefully.

Thank you Hobie. I read this on my phone and then forgot to post it on here. Pretty steep consequences, but at least they have all season to work themselves out of it.
Who's the snitch though? 

I am glad your wife's surgery went well. I hope she recovers well.

Good to hear from you again Spike. Thanks for updating us on your life. Too bad it's not all good news. I'll admit yer Uncle Jesse was gitting a bit worried about where you were.

I saw something cool on the local news today. They showed a semi sitting at a red light in a small town near me and there was a huge orange Dukes 01 that took up most of the back doors. Somebody is a big fan! 

One bad thing about owning a sports sedan is people want to stop light race....a lot , especially when the lanes merge down to 1 lane. Tuesday I almost got ran off the road by one of these clowns. I just got lucky that the light turned green as I was coming up to the light so I just kept going the speed limit but apparently this jerk in a Lincoln wasn't happy and floored his SUV and as I was making my way over in front of him he put it right next to me and since there was oncoming traffic I slammed on the brakes so no one would get hit head on by that idiot. This clown was amused by this when I caught up to him at the next stop light. Really your amused at almost causing a head on collision and running someone else off the road. I was so mad at their selfishness and ignorance but remembered the local road rage shooting that happened a few weeks ago so I let bygones be bygones.
