I'm proud that they were both adult enough to talk about it instead of destroying each other's cars or trying to fight, and giving interviews instead of the Kyle Busch toddler tantrum. Some Nascar programming could be moving to online streaming...https://www.jayski.com/2021/09/20/will-nascar-fans-have-to-pay-to-watch-some-races-in-next-tv-deal/ So far it looks like practice sessions and qualifying.

Speed Buggy should bring back some childhood Saturday morning cartoon memories for some of you.

Good luck on the MRI Roger. I'm sick and tired of dealing with family drama this year so it looks like it's just going to be me and the wife celebrating the holidays together and skipping any family get together's if there even is any. What sealed that was my M-I-L accusing me of kicking her dog the yesterday while she was talking to the wife on the phone. Only thing I ever did to the dog was smack it with a newspaper when it nipped at me when I was playing fetch with it one time years ago. For god sakes I only seen the in laws 3 maybe 4 times in the past 2 years due to COVID-19 so I don't know how the heck that happened in that time period. Maybe it's time she had a doctor take a hard look at all the meds she's been prescribed to see which one(s) is causing her to see stuff that's not there or not happening.

Saturday night's Cup race didn't have the exciting finish that the Xfinity race did but did have some drama. It looked like it was going to be Denny Hamlin's race to lose and he did when he cut a tire while beating and banging with Kyle Larson for the lead. When Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliot were battling for the lead Chase Elliot also cut a tire and went a lap down. That didn't end there though... on fresh tires Chase raced his way back to Harvick and doorslammed him on his way by to regain his lap and then took Harvick's line away which allowed Chase's teammate Kyle Larson to catch and pass Kevin Harvick. Kyle Larson went on to win. Chase and Kevin had a heated discussion on pit road and had another discussion later, then Kevin got into a reporter's face about recording them and so they went to Chase's hauler to have their discussion. Aric Almirola, Tyler Reddick, Kurt Busch and Michael McDowell are out of the Playoffs/Chase. Top 10 1 Kyle Larson 2 Kevin Harvick 3 William Byron 4 Ryan Blaney 5 Alex Bowman 6 Brad Keselowski 7 Martin Truex Jr 8 Erik Jones 9 Denny Hamlin 10 Matt Dibenedetto It appears 23XI racing has bought a charter for the #45 next year and talks with FRM are still ongoing with either FRM selling both it's charter's to 23XI racing and not racing in the cup series or one charter and becoming another JGR Toyota satellite team. That would leave Ford with only Penske racing and RoushFenwayKeselowski Racing teams in 2022 with 6 or 7 Ford's each race.

Wow this was one the best Bristol finishes I've ever seen.

Had another one of those crazy storms last night. Another 2+ inches of rain in 45 minutes. Once again the parking lot flooded, worse this time. Luckily the water didn't reach our cars but I bet a few people will have to dry their vehicle interior's out as the water reached the doors of some cars in the lower parts of the lot. Lightning was crazy too, multiple strikes in the same spots. While moving some flower pots around before the storm I noticed a hummingbird moth visiting my prairie sunflowers. Guess that means I have a healthy garden for native pollinators .

Any updates?

Vulcan Star Trek the original series first aired 55 years ago last week, September 8th 1966.

1,658 lbs Pocono is losing one of it's Cup race dates to Gateway aka Worldwide Technology Raceway in St Louis Ty Dillon is rumoured to have a full time Cup Series ride lined up for next year.

Will be interesting to see Ricciardo drive one of Dale Earnhardt Sr's old Monte Carlo's soon. I assume it will happen around F1 COTA race.

Haha that's so weird. Tea

I'll be happy when I'm done with the prescription meds for the severe poison ivy reaction I got a few weeks ago. I go from being backed up for a day or two to not being able to leave the house the next because of several bathroom trips. To top it off the one pill gives me the foggy, head detached from your body feeling and sometimes fall asleep out of the blue so I can't drive after I take it. I don't know how some people can take that pill regularly but I guess your body build's up a tolerance for it. Here's another file for the you've got to be joking folder... And plumbers this warning is for you... It's now offensive if you're pants are baggy and falling off your waist if you're not of a certain color. According to an article I read over the weekend it's racist and gentrification if you do . So plumber's better pull them pants up and belts tight so you won't be labeled offensive by the whiney generation.

Martin Truex Jr won a snorefest of a race Saturday night at Richmond Raceway. By the end of the 2nd stage Denny Hamlin had lapped almost 3/4's of the field, I decided to go to bed as I figured the racing wouldn't get much better and from the highlight reels on YouTube it didn't. Chase Elliott seemed to be the only non JGR car that could give Denny a challenge but a pit road mistake put him a lap down, but he managed to drive back up to finish 4th. It would have been a JGR sweep if not for Kyle Busch getting a pit road speeding penalty late in the race. At the end only 9 cars were on the lead lap. It's funny Nascar failed Kyle Larson's car twice in inspection which forced him to start at the rear instead of the pole position yet the JGR cars were lapping everybody else, maybe they should have given the JGR Toyota's a closer look. As it stands now Alex Bowman, William Byron, Michael McDowell and Tyler Reddick will be eliminated from the playoffs at Bristol next Saturday night unless one of them wins the race. Top 10 1 Martin Truex Jr 2 Denny Hamlin 3 Christopher Bell 4 Chase Elliott 5 Joey Logano 6 Kyle Larson 7 Ross Chastain 8 Kevin Harvick 9 Kyle Busch 10 Ryan Blaney

My dad and uncle tried to do some Three Stooges plumbing repairs over the weekend and now my dad doesn't have hot water . I told my dad you should have just called a plumber in the first place since you know the house was not brought up to code when you bought it in the late 90's. Now it's going to cost him more because the plumber has to fix their screw ups along with the original problem. You'd think my dad would learn from his penny pinching mistakes but no he just makes more over and over again. Of course it doesn't help when his brothers enable him instead of saying "No hire a professional".

For his dangerous actions after wrecking at Darlington Kyle Busch has been fined $50,000 https://m.nascar.com/news-media/2021/09/07/kyle-busch-fined-for-violations-at-darlington-raceway/ In my opinion they should have made this sting a bit more, $50k is a drop in the bucket for him considering his annual salary is most likely in the millions. $250,000 and maybe some points taken away would have been a nice deterrent to more of his childish outbursts.
