It took 2 days but I got the flower bed and patio cleaned up and took down my bird feeders. Moron lawn crew blew a lot of leaves and debris into the patio, filled 2 garbage bags. I also ran into the veteran, actually a lady, I thought it was a guy that lived in that apartment. Chatted with her a few minutes about the new rules. She said she's going to keep feeding the cats, birds and keep the flag up in the window and if they push back she's going to bring up the maintenance issues she's been trying to get fixed the past few months.

Certainly feels like it Roger. It's so ridiculous. And the motto on the sign at the end of the driveway is "Make it your Home" . I almost bought a bottle of Roundup last night to spray on our flower beds but the voice in me said no because gardening is one of my stress relievers. But if we get another note after I clean up the patio this weekend scorched earth is what they will get. Wonder how well it will go for the manager if they force the veteran to take his flag out of his window. Would love to be a fly on the wall if he chews out the manager lol. Also found out the reason for the notes. Some resident put nasty reviews about the complex on a bunch of sites last week complaining about almost everything the notes say need to change. It just takes one person to ruin it for everyone these days.

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.

That's why I like Indycars version of DRS. It's a slight boost in power from the engine and they can use it anywhere on the track. They only get so many seconds of boost so they have to use it sparingly throughout the race.

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.

Forgot to mention the wife's surgery Monday went well. Hopefully she heals up great and we can get back to living a full adventurous life again.

NASCAR officials probably noticed it during one of the many wrecks. As for Joey Logano's gloves I don't see the point of penalizing him as he most likely wasn't the only one wearing them during Daytona 500 qualifying. And the video they released on Twitter is so low quality that you can't tell the difference from a regular glove.

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.

That car is actually a Holden Caprice, long wheel base version of the Commodore/G8. GM imported them as Chevy Caprice's for police departments from 2011-17. Police departments could order 9C1 or 9C3 packages, 9C3 was the detective package with cloth or leather seats instead of plastic rear seat. They came with either the 3.6L V6 or 6.0L V8. The V8 Caprice was the only vehicle to pass all the CHP speed and handling testing. So if you ever find a 9C3 spec Caprice at a police auto auction buy it.

Oops didn't think about that lol, got to excited.

Looks like Chase Elliott has a good shot at winning
-
Yeah looks like more than half the field was involved, looks like 1/3rd of them the race is done.
-
Did Toyota buy Fox Sports, seems like they've been mentioning Toyota almost every other minute. Wish there was a local MRN station so I could just mute these clowns and listen to some decent play by play.

Cup race looks like it's going to go on as scheduled today but Xfinity race has been postponed once again to 9pm after the jet dryers crashed while drying the track off before the race. I get the feeling this is going to be a long NASCAR season of goof ups.

They don't, it's a 2009 model year. Only 35k miles though and it still had the new car smell. I cringed when my mechanic said what Pontiac used to stand for lol.

If it's moonshine it could be used as fuel Translator

Pontiac G8, my new to me car I've been enjoying since November. Quite fast but drinks gas like a college girl on spring break
