That's why I'm glad MeTV doesn't cave in to the pressure. They have shown some cartoons that have "offensive" jokes in them or cartoons that are deemed offensive by the "woke" crowd, and they air them without the disclaimer before them. We got 5 inches of snow from the storm yesterday and overnight. Set new records for Spring and April snowfalls. I was out in it last night cutting up part of an Apple tree that fell in a friend's driveway due to the weight of the wet snow. Wish I had one of the cordless reciprocating saw or limb saws I've been checking out online lately. Would've come in handy but all I had was the 7" pruning saw I bought Saturday morning. At least apple wood is soft so I had no trouble cutting through it.

MeTV is doing it's annual Month of MAYberry https://www.metv.com/lists/metv-presents-the-month-of-mayberry-throughout-may#:~:text=Our mammoth month-long celebration,' runs May 2-28.&text=It's that time of year,Mayberry and its beloved characters. I'm looking forward to week two and some hilarious Barney Fife episodes.

The Simpsons "woke" episodes this year are really getting horrible. They could have at least got voice actors that sounded similar to what the previous voice actor did. The guy they got doing Dr. Hibbert now actually sounded like a white guy trying to sound like a black guy in last night's episode. Harry Shearer who voiced the character since the beginning actually sounded more black. Kevin Michael Richardson is a gifted voice actor and I know could have done better so I blame whoever was directing him in the studio. The guy they got doing Carl sounds so similar to the original that you wouldn't know that they hired a new guy. Too bad Bless the Harts got cancelled as that show is funny though probably a bit too "Southern" for Disney's taste so that's probably why it got cancelled once they got control of Fox tv shows.

It looked like an exciting race from the short highlight video I seen on youtube. Unfortunately F1 has lousy tv coverage here in the states with ESPN. Local ABC channel had infomercials on yesterday so they could have easily re-aired the race on a channel everyone can get. On a related note Romain Grosjean finished 10th in his Indycar debut at Barber. He was in the top 5 for quite a while. Jimmy Johnson didn't fare as well he finished 19th. Alex Bowman stole a win at Richmond yesterday taking the lead after a late race restart and holding off Denny Hamlin. Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex jr dominated the race. Martin Truex jr had a pit road penalty but was able to finish in 5th place. Top 10 1 Alex Bowman 2 Denny Hamlin 3 Joey Logano 4 Christopher Bell 5 Martin Truex jr 6 Aric Almirola 7 William Byron 8 Kyle Busch 9 Matt Dibenedetto 10 Austin Dillon

Happy belated birthday Roger

Looks like 23XI racing might expand to a second car next year. Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan are looking to build a new shop that can hold a 2 or 3 car team. Dale Earnhardt jr might start a cup team if the finances look right with the next gen car. Jeff Burton's son Harrison will make his cup debut at Talladega with Gaunt bros. Racing in the #96 Toyota.

I guess my dad is not going to take responsibility and pay the neighbor now, I don't care anymore. If she takes him to small claims court then so be it, he only has himself to blame. She only wants $400 of the cost of the removal of the arborvitae bushes, not the entire bill covered which was over $1k. I told him take the $400 out if the stimulus money he got and be done with it instead of being a stubborn jack.

Some real gems in this one I love the crayon comment I bet Cody Ware got a nice talking too from daddy after the race since he caused about half the cautions.

It's really unfortunate for small businesses that so many millennials are too lazy to shop local and instead just get it from Amazon because "it's easier". Wouldn't surprise me within the next 20 years the only stores left will be Amazon, Walmart, Krogers and one of the big 3 of the home improvement stores.

Tempers flared and by the end of the Martinsville race some of the cars looked like they survived a demolition derby. Martin Truex jr won the race after passing his teammate Denny Hamlin and became the first repeat winner of the season. Ryan Blaney had the dominant car of the day but a bad pit stop where the front tire changer forgot to pull the air hose from in front of his car caused him to take the hose and wrench with him when he drove out of his pitbox which resulted in a penalty. He did manage to make it back to 11th place. Top 10 1. Martin Truex jr 2. Chase Elliott 3. Denny Hamlin 4. William Byron 5. Kyle Larson 6. Joey Logano 7. Christopher Bell 8. Tyler Reddick 9. Kevin Harvick 10. Kyle Busch

That's a good thing to do once in a while. It also gives your eyes a break too, the blue light screens emanate are not good for the eyes long term. While walking one of the trails at a nearby park we came across a pair of Eastern Hog-nosed Snakes. The female was about 3 foot long and about two inches in diameter and was a dark gray almost black pattern. The male about 1 3/4 foot long, yellow tan with black splotches pattern. The female was very irritated that we stopped to check them out lol. I used the Seek app to identify them as we've only ever seen garter snakes at this park.

Looks like mother nature's going to postpone this week's race too. Weather radar shows rain showers just outside of Martinsville. If it does get postponed it will most likely be run tomorrow afternoon. Maybe they should have did more rain tire testing lol.

Picked up my new toy yesterday https://www.woodcraft.com/products/14a-plunge-and-fixed-base-router-skil looking forward to playing with it when the weather stays nice. Ordered it 3 weeks ago and had to wait for it to come in. Done being a mediator The neighbor and my dad finally came to an agreement, now hopefully my dad will keep his end up so I don't have to get involved anymore.

The lady at the end of this video could drive circles around a lot of guys. https://play.history.com/shows/only-in-america-with-larry-the-cable-guy/videos/corvette You can watch the full episode here https://play.history.com/shows/only-in-america-with-larry-the-cable-guy/season-2/episode-11 Corvette plant part is in the final 10 minutes. There's also John Force's daughter's that have beaten many men in the 1/4mile drag races. Shirley Muldowney won 18 NHRA events in her career. Denise McCluggage won the GT class in the 1961 Sebring 12hrs race, also won the 1964 Monte Carlo rally. Michele Mouton won a few WRC Rally Races. Gender don't matter, Talent does.

Skip to 16:40 to see the Dukes of Hazzard collection. I have the lunchbox pictured at 18:01. Good luck with the puppy. Let's see in a few weeks if that bugger wears you out. Hope everything goes good with your wife's surgery.
