I'll say 110% lol. Wore my DoH General Lee shirt this past weekend, 1st time since spring. One lady commented that she had a thing for Bo. And the Dukes channel is back on Airy.TV's Roku app, it was down for a while due to technical issues. I watched the alien episode on there last night before going to bed, I know that's one of the least liked episode's but I find that episode hilarious.

Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan teamed up to buy the Germain Racing charter and start a team for 2021 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/21/denny-hamlin-michael-jordan-to-own-a-cup-team/. Darrell Bubba Wallace will be the driver and it's expected that Toyota will provide the manufacturer backing. Will be interesting to see how Nascar handles this with Denny Hamlin already competing on a 4 car team then again if Toyota's involved they'll probably change the rules. On a related note...https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/21/bob-germain-racing-sells-charter-michael-jordan-denny-hamlin-nascar/

Ross Chastain will take over the #42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevy for 2021 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/21/ross-chastain-to-drive-for-chip-ganassi-racing-in-2021/ The cup series will be making a stop at Circuit of the Americas road course in Texas next season, it will be taking one of the Texas Speedways races and in return the speedway will get the All Star race https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/21/nascar-report-cup-to-compete-circuit-of-the-americas-2021/

Been a long day... Not sure what the wife did but pulled a muscle or something in her back. Ended up taking her to a local urgent care because she couldn't stand the pain anymore. Gave her a shot and a few prescriptions and told her to stay home from work for the next few days. Doc wants her to come back to do x-rays when she can the pain subsides. Hope it's nothing more than her muscles aching from her overworking herself.

That's a tough one. It'd either be John Schneider, Ben Jones or Sonny Shroyer. They all seem so approachable and down to earth. John though I bet has some good stories to tell.

Our allergies flared up over the weekend. Even a sniffle makes people look at you like a pariah in the stores these days . Scored a barn door hardware kit for $10 at a garage sale over the weekend . Going to use it on an entertainment center.

That's good to hear .

Kevin Harvick won Last night in Bristol. It's his 9th win of the season, 58th of his career which moves him up to 9th on the all time wins list. Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Cole Custer and Matt Dibenedetto got knocked out of the playoffs. Top 10: Kevin Harvick 1st, Kyle Busch 2nd, Erik Jones 3rd, Tyler Reddick 4th, Aric Almirola 5th, Clint Bowyer 6th, Chase Elliot 7th, Chris Buescher 8th, Ryan Preece 9th and Michael Mcdowell 10th. In the rumor mill this morning there's talk of Denny Hamlin buying the Germain Racing charter and Leaving Family Racing's assets and starting a team for which Bubba Wallace will drive for https://www.jayski.com/2020/09/19/bubba-wallace-not-expected-to-return-to-richard-petty-motorsports/ . Will be interesting to see if Nascar allows this as it's been stated that a driver that drives for a four car team cannot own a team or something to that matter.

Daniel Suarez leaving Guant Bros Racing at the end of the season https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/15/daniel-suarez-gaunt-brothers-racing-to-part-ways-after-season/ Rumor is he will be filling the vacant seat in the #43 Richard Petty Motorsports Chevy. According to this article https://beyondtheflag.com/2020/09/17/nascar-new-landing-spot-emerging-kyle-larson/ Hendrick Motorsports already has a Driver set for the #48 for 2021 but doesn't want to release the name at the moment due to 3 of his drivers being in the playoffs.

We actually have a Frost advisory tonight for outlying areas brrrr. Was hoping we would have gotten rain early yesterday morning that was forecasted but nothing reached the ground.

Got the majority of the painting done. Will have to wait till it warms up again next week to finish painting the cement block foundation.

Check out our local PBS listings Roger, every now and then they run a repeat of tours of British royalty castles/palaces on their 'Secrets Of' series. The episode which shows the one that Princess Diana's family owned was quite interesting.

Brad Keselowski dominated Richmond last night,leading the most laps, winning stage 2 and the race. Austin Dillon also had a good night leading the most laps in a single race in his Cup career and finishing 2nd in stage 1 & 2. The top 10: Brad Keselowski 1st, Martin Truex jr 2nd, Joey Logano 3rd, Austin Dillon 4th, Chase Elliot 5th, Kyle Busch 6th, Kevin Harvick 7th, Aric Almirola 8th, Alex Bowman 9th and Clint Bowyer finished 10th.

Probably wait till October. Usually wild animals move on if their food source is gone. So yesterday I almost hit two squirrels chasing each other in the parking lot so I honked the horn and scared the bejesus out if both of them . Apparently one of them has a good memory of it, I stopped to check the mailbox today and this squirrel in a tree was giving me the business. I imagine he or she was cussing me out in squirrel language .

You might want to take down the feeders for a while, once a bear finds a food source they will keep coming back to it especially this time of year when they're trying to put on as much weight as they can before hibernating. And be sure to lock the car doors and house doors as well.

He's healthy enough, just lazy. Thing is my dad and uncles were sort of brought up to 'do for their parents even if they can do it themselves'. Which definitely isn't a bad thing but my dad tries to take advantage of it as much as possible. He either whines till you do it or he plays stupid till you have to fix his 'mistake'. I'm just to the point where it's just quicker to do it myself instead of wasting my time listening to his whining or trying to fix the crap he "screws up". Take his bathroom for example he kept doing little bandaid fixes instead of fixing the broken pipe, he whined to my one uncle till he came over and replaced the pipe and the bandaid fixes.

Darrell Bubba Wallace is not returning to Richard Petty Motorsports for 2021 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/10/bubba-wallace-not-returning-to-rpm-after-this-season/ Bet he will be announced as the driver for the #42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevy in the coming days.

Looks like Jimmie Johnson will be racing for Chip Ganassi Racing next season in the Indycar series https://www.jayski.com/2020/09/09/jimmie-johnson-partnering-with-chip-ganassi-for-indycar-deal/. Wonder if Ganassi will be switching to Chevrolet engines next season as Jimmie has said he'd like to keep his partnership with Chevy.

The same ones.

My uncle already knows we work 2 jobs. My dad is all for it, if he doesn't have to lift a finger to do anything he won't. Funny thing is he's been retired since June so he's had plenty of time to paint but hasn't. Sad thing is his 80+ year old neighbor does more stuff around his property than my dad does on his property and he's only 66. It just really annoys me that he does this helpless and stupid act so everyone will do the stuff he could do on his own.

I just love when relatives volunteer me for stuff without even asking if I'm busy. I'm working 2 jobs as it is and on my day off I try to catch up on some sleep and get a few things done here at home. Now I've been volunteered by one of my uncle's to paint my dad's house. Guess I won't be helping one of my paying clients redesign her flower bed since I won't have the time to do the work now .

Matt Kenseth not expecting to race for CGR next season https://www.jayski.com/2020/09/09/matt-kenseth-doesnt-expect-to-be-racing-in-2021/

California's Auto Club Speedway to be reconfigured into a 1/2 mile short track https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/08/nascar-seeks-to-reshape-auto-club-speedway-into-a-short-track/ https://www.jayski.com/2020/09/08/auto-club-speedway-to-be-reconfigured-to-half-mile-short-track/ From the plans it looks like they will keep a portion front D straight and that's it. Looks like the current back straight will become a new parking lot.

Visiting relatives out of town didn't go as I'd hoped. Even though it didn't rain at all here it drizzled out there most if the afternoon so we were all stuck inside. Although my mother in law can swear like a sailor nobody else better dare too or else. What set her off this time is when I said 'dang' . Sometimes I loathe visiting her as sometimes we have to walk on eggshells around her if her meds are out of balance that day, and apparently it was one of those days. So yeah it was a fun labor day weekend. Last week I was trimming some hedges that was hiding poison ivy so my left arm has a nice itchy rash. I will say I'm not having any issues with people not social distancing around me haha .

Kevin Harvick won the first race of the playoffs or chase for the championship, whatever you want to call it, which is his 8th win if the season, a career best for Harvick. He also tied Dale Earnhardt Sr in crown jewel race wins with 8. Early on it looked like it was going to be a Joe Gibbs racing domination, at one point all 4 cars were in the top 10 with three of them 1,2,3. Pit issues took Denny out of contention, Kyle's car was not a top 5 contender most of the night, ended up finishing 7th. Martin Truex jr had the strongest car from jgr's stable but after contact with Chase Elliot and the wall while battling for the lead forced him to pit with a flat tire, he ended up finishing 22nd a lap down. Erik Jones gave jgr it's highest finish of the night 4th. The top 5: Kevin Harvick 1st, Austin Dillon 2nd, Joey Logano 3rd, Erik Jones 4th, William Byron 5th. 3 crew chiefs have been suspended for next week's race. Kyle Busch's and Clint Bowyer's for unsecured lugnuts and Ryan Blaney's for unapproved ballast. Richmond will be on NBCSN Saturday night at 7:30pm eastern.
