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.

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.

Toyota swept the weekend's races at the Daytona road course winning all three races. The truck race was the only controversial finish with a phantom caution thrown on the last lap which also gave Toyota it's 200th truck series win . Joe Gibbs grandson Ty Gibbs won his first Xfinity race which was also his first Xfinity series start. Christopher Bell won the Cup series race after the favorites to win were taken out of contention with bad pitstops or part failures or incidents. Denny Hamlin took out Chase Elliot with a handful of laps to go when they were battling to pass Brad Keselowski. Here's the top 10 1 Christopher Bell 2 Joey Logano 3 Denny Hamlin 4 Kurt Busch 5 Brad Keselowski 6 Kevin Harvick 7 AJ Allmendinger 8 Michael McDowell 9 Ryan Preece 10 Alex Bowman

I think it has more to do with fans sick of the B.S. changes over the past 15+ years especially the championship format that supposedly rewards race winners. The "car of tomorrow" with it's ground effect kit and wing really put a dent in the fanbase.

I say January 26th, the day it first premiered on tv.

Yeah it's crazy what's going on in Texas. Some of the ones that have electricity aren't much better off. Apparently electricity can be traded by the kwh like stock there or something and some people's bills shot up to over $8,000 for one day's use. How is that even legal? Find it funny the goober governor tried blaming it on solar and wind power when that only accounts for 10% of generated power there. The natural gas power plants make the majority of Texas power and yet most of them don't have cold weather protection in place to keep the plants running during extreme temperatures. Think it's time people there take a look at who's pockets the texas state legislature is in.

https://m.nascar.com/news-media/2018/02/01/nascar-new-2018-inspection-process/ Daytona 500 tv viewership hit a new low, just 4.4million viewers this year https://www.jayski.com/2021/02/17/daytona-500-tv-ratings-2/ this is the first time since Daytona 500 has been live telecast, which was 1979 on CBS, that viewership has been below 7 million people which happened last year. Rain delay obviously didn't help and restarting the race after 9pm probably wasn't a smart idea either. This downward trend keeps up I can see a time when there won't be any Nascar races on free ota broadcast channels.

Snowfall total was officially 12.5 inches out of that storm, #3 on the records list. Overnight the temps got down to -7 fahrenheit, windchills into the - teens. Wish there was something I could do for the stray animals that get dumped off here. Local animal shelters are so overwhelmed right now they are not taking any animals in. So the guy that chewed me out Tuesday had his mailbox taken out by a snow plow yesterday . I'm assuming he's pissed off the plow driver before because his mailbox was the only one on the block that got taken out. Maintenance guy for the apartment complex went above and beyond yesterday, he dug everyone's vehicles out with the snow blower. That was so cool even after one of our jerk neighbors called corporate to complain because he wasn't here first thing in the morning clearing the sidewalks. It was great when I got home from shoveling snow yesterday and did not have to dig the wife's car out.

I'm surprised more cars didn't fail inspection since I read Nascar is using a new laser scanner to check the body tolerances out this year.

Fertilizer (night crawlers make the best fertilizer too. After it rains sometimes I go outside and collect them and throw them into my garden.)

Haven't measured it yet but we at least got 9-10 inches overnight. I went out to clean the cars off just in case the wife got called into work. If she does I'll have to take her in my car as the plow driver buried her car behind a 18+ inch snow wall. Yesterday was a long day. Found out the tires on my wife's car aren't worth spit even in a couple of inches of snow, about slid into a mound of snow. My dad apologized and said he didn't know I wanted the snow blower when I told him last week yes I'll go half on it, call up your brother and tell him we'll take it. Sometimes with my dad it just feels like I'm banging my head on a wall. Then while shoveling one of my customers driveway their neighbor yells at me accusing me of throwing snow on his sidewalk even though it was the plow that came through before I got there. Since I wasn't packing and I've been warned ahead of time that he's an alcoholic druggie nutjob I just shovelled the three feet length of snow that I supposedly threw on his part of the sidewalk. I've heard some crazy story's about this guy from other neighbors so I figured it's best not to poke the bear. When the wife got home I told her that's why I want to move to the country, I'm sick of dealing with jerks. Roger bundle up and be careful shoveling, it is really cold out there especially with the wind gusts.

Happy engagement anniversary Roger. Snow was heavy this morning when I cleaned the car off for the wife. When I got done cleaning the windows off the windshield was completely covered again. Think we're going to get 3+ before the afternoon break before the 2nd round tonight. I'm not looking forward to Tuesday morning, got two long driveways to do among a few short ones. It's crazy that some of the power companies in the the south are asking people to keep their usage low for heat. Before we move to electric vehicles the infrastructure in this country needs to be upgraded especially if we can't keep warm during storms like this. Seen a huge pileated woodpecker at the park yesterday, was about as big as a crow. Had no idea they got that big.

Michael McDowell won the Daytona 500 when the two Penske teammates wrecked in front of him. I watched the replays on youtube this morning and was surprised that it was basically single file on the last few laps. This is his first Cup victory in his 14 year 358 starts career. At least now he'll be remembered for something other than surviving that horrendous practice crash at the beginning of his cup career. All the drivers walked away from the crashes this year though I bet Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski are nursing some pain this morning. Here's the top ten. 1 Michael McDowell 2 Chase Elliot 3 Austin Dillon 4 Kevin Harvick 5 Denny Hamlin 6 Ryan Preece 7 Ross Chastain 8 Jamie McMurray 9 Corey Lajoie 10 Kyle Larson Next Sunday will be the Daytona road course race.
