Sorry to hear Roger. Definitely sounds like you need to get an x-ray done. My wife had a lousy weekend too. Friday she got a near migraine headache, Saturday she woke up with a bit of a fever along with the headache still. Sunday she woke up with back pain but the headache and fever was gone. She took a couple of the muscle relaxers and had a heating pad on her back most of the day. Today she woke up feeling better though fingers crossed. She was really looking forward to going to the park and getting outside since it was really nice outside this weekend after the brutal cold and snow for most of February. This talk of Murphy's law reminded me of my wife's ex stepfather. Everything this dude tried to repair blew up, I kid you not swear to God with my right hand on a bible. The story's my wife tells about him fixing things just makes your jaw drop. When I first got my driver's license the Monte Carlo that was given to me needed a tuneup so my dad always the one to pinch a penny had him come over change the spark plugs, wires and oil etc... Before her ex stepfather touched it the car ran great, afterwards it sounded like a car on its deathbed and could barely move under it's own power. It ended up having to be towed to the mechanics and the mechanic said whoever touched the car shouldn't be allowed near mechanical things lol. 4 out if the six wires were on the wrong sparkplugs is one of the things that stuck in my mind, I don't remember the rest that needed fixed offhand but it ended up costing over $600. That car never really ran the same after that, always had issues with it after that.

According to wikipedia the "law" itself goes back to writings of Augustus De Morgan in the 1860's though others have also 'coined' the term or a similar one throughout history. Murphy gets attached to it in the late 1940's early 1950's during high speed g force testing at the Edwards air force base when Edward Murphy developed sensors read zero after a test. Whether Murphy said it or one of the other scientists is still up for debate.

William Byron won the Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead miami yesterday leading over 100 laps and winning the 2nd stage blowing past the battling Gibbs teammates on a late stage restart. Early on it looked like the race would be dominated by the Penske teammates. Then Chris Buescher came out of nowhere showing some speed from the Roush stable that hasn't been seen in a decade winning stage 1. Unfortunately the 17 car was not setup for the later part of the race when it transitioned into night and fell back to the teens. His teammate Ryan Newman faired better when the track transitioned eventually finishing 7th. Michael McDowell also had a good race in the final stage finishing 6th now if the FRR pit crew can get better at pitstops he could be a contender for the playoffs well beyond the round of 16. Tyler Reddick was the fastest car late in the race, with 10 to go he made up 8.3 seconds of a 11 second deficit to the leader William Byron. If he would have been able to pass Kyle Larson and Martin Tried jr faster he would have caught Byron on the final lap as he was gaining about 1 second a lap. Here's the top 10. 1 William Byron 2 Tyler Reddick 3 Martin Truex jr 4 Kyle Larson 5 Kevin Harvick 6 Michael McDowell 7 Ryan Newman 8 Kurt Busch 9 Alex Bowman 10 Kyle Busch

So I was flipping through the streaming channels this morning and came across a show called zombie house or zombie flippers or something. I ended up watching almost the whole episode and I don't know if their other episodes show them in a better light but this one showed what not to do when 'flipping' a house. They bought a house that needed substantial renovating because they had a buyer already lined up to buy it when it was done. One thing they should have gotten done first was the last thing they repaired which was the leaking roof. First thing they did after demo was plumbing then drywall. One of the flippers turned the water main back in without realizing the plumbing wasn't finished in one of the bathrooms so the bathroom got flooded . Since the roof wasn't fixed it leaked inside when it rained so they just painted over the water stains on the new drywall. They had a big oak tree cut down but the company left a couple of logs behind for a 2nd load pickup but the one flipper flipped out because he scheduled sod for that day. So two of the flippers ask one of the subs if they can load the logs on his Blazer, guy says yeah, big mistake. The flippers ended up totalling the Blazer trying to load one of the logs with the log mover. 3rd week into the quick flip they find out the buyer has some past financial issues and backed out, you'd think they would have had the buyer show them a pre-approval letter or something from the lender. Now that they're selling it themselves they store a bunch of staging furniture in the garage and since the roof wasn't fixed yet an overnight rain shower leaked into the garage ruining all the staging furniture as well as drywall in the garage which they had no choice but to replace this time. When they finally get the roof replaced they went with the cheapest bid and you could definitely see that in the sped up video when the roof guys left 1/2 inch+ gaps between some of the 4x8 osb sheets. I feel sorry for whoever bought that house.

Inspiration

Just...wow. the level of detail.

Population has to be in the thousands and with a plant or distribution center nearby that has 3 shifts or by a main thoroughfare like I-75 otherwise what would be the point if being open 24/7

I don't think it'd be a financial decision on WB's part otherwise Airy.tv would have had worked out a deal before their license expired. WB most likely wants to distance itself from the confederate flag and General Lee name as much as possible and since DoH has both WB is probably not going to allow it to be put on tv or streamed.

Relax

2022 silly season's starting early...rumors floating around Nascar garages is 23xi will expand to 2nd team in 2022 and a Chevy team will make the switch to Toyota for 2022. Will keep you updated on these rumors.

Heard back from them...their license to air episodes expired. They're trying to work out a new deal but with the current 'cancel culture' climate DoH might not be back on their apps.

Not sure why but Dukes of Hazzard has been removed from both the phone and streaming media player Airy.tv apps. It was kind of nice watching the Dukes without having to dig out a dvd.

Ingenious

Crafts I'd love to probe Martha's mind for a few hours. Some of the hacks she's come up with over the years especially gardening, like why didn't I think of that.

Story I read on yahoo didn't even mention the one was for music rights issue, figures. If it did it wouldn't rile up the cancel culture nuts. Pat Sajak better turn into a robot host as he's being ripped apart on social media for his offensive mean spirited humor towards contestants . The world is a changing fellas, everything is offensive and if you're not on the bandwagon then you are wrong.

Chip Ganassi gets suspended for 1 race for breaking covid protocol https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/02/22/nascar-suspends-car-owner-chip-ganassi-one-race/ I can imagine this was a miserable last 1/3rd of the race but at least he had his best finish outside of a Gibbs car https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/02/21/daniel-suarez-throws-up-late-in-daytona-road-course-race-finishes-16th/

GM, Ford, Dodge through and through here. Seriously though I hope your Sentra doesn't have the cvt that destroys itself after the factory warranty is up. Costed my cousin over $4k to get the one in her Rogue rebuilt. She contacted Nissan and they refused to even partially pay for it even though it's a known issue in several of Nissan vehicles.

Disney just deemed The Muppet Show offensive . A couple of episodes have been completely removed from the Disney+ streaming service while others have an "offensive" disclaimer. If you liked the show best get it on dvd while you can before Disney "cancels" it and stops making the dvd sets.
