We got rain here . Some weird weather we're having here lately, one day in the upper 40's next day 20 with wind chills in the single digits or -0's. My brother in law bought a snow blower attachment for his lawn mower only to find out it wouldn't fit so he went out and bought a new mower which got delivered a few days ago so yesterday I helped him hook the blower up. We almost got it all hooked up but the last belt refused to go around a pulley. So we detached the one thing to move it up to get the belt around the pulley which worked but then we couldn't get the dang thing hooked back up to the bottom of the mower lol. He called the place he bought the new mower from and they're coming out to finish it some time this week.

Maybe Brandon Brown and his sponsor should have rethought the name they wanted to use https://sports.yahoo.com/nascar-denies-lets-go-brandon-themed-sponsorship-xfinity-series-driver-brandon-brown-021448067.html Not surprising since Nascar needs to find new fans. But also it could be partially due to the DC Solar debacle that ended up costing Nascar and Chip Ganassi Racing millions of dollars.

Magnum P.I.

Interesting what happens when the media gets involved. Investigation was closed and no officer's will face any disciplinary punishment. In fact in an interview yesterday the Chief of police praised them and said they did what needed to be done for everyone's safety. Apparently the police have banned the use of the pit maneuver during the "woke" movement, so that was the issue. This morning when I woke up I seen there was a Ring notification from overnight. Turns out a Fox visited our front door. That was kind of neat seeing something other than a bird, cat, dog or squirrel setting it off.

All Caucasian.

2022 Nascar Cup tv schedule https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2022/01/04/kyle-larson-chase-elliott-kyle-busch-martin-truex-alex-bowman-2022-nascar-cup-schedule-tv-info-ticket-info/ Daytona Speedweeks has been trimmed down to just 6 days this year , qualifying won't even be on Fox networks. There's going to be a tire test at the new Atlanta repave this week so keep an eye on YouTube.

This world is so backwards anymore... Couple of local police officers are facing disciplinary actions for keeping a crack addict from driving the wrong way on I-75. They should be heralded as heroes not facing disciplinary punishment.

We had a lazy day today, just sat on the couch and watched tv. Due to the forecasted snowmageddon, that never happened just got an inch of snow, we did our cleaning job yesterday morning instead. Wasn't easy waking up early Saturday to work due to the half hour of fireworks and gun shots at midnight, took a while to get back to sleep. Happy New Year y'all.

I just knew him as an announcer. The next Madden videogame will probably have a lot tributes to him. Good news, good news. Found out the neighbor should be getting out of the hospital over the weekend. She suffered a minor stroke due to the Covid. Due to her promptness in calling 911 when she felt weird the docs say she should have no lingering effects of the stroke.

Yep, both times positive for Covid. Booster shot packed same punch the regular shots did. Wife of course had the brunt of side effects again, aches and pain and headache. I had more aches this time than with the other shots. Still haven't heard anything about the neighbor, we hope she's getting better. Finally getting snow here too, unfortunately a few days late but I'm still in the Christmas mood so why not.
