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.

The episode's editor and series producers most likely had more to do with that than Sorrell Booke. Since he was also a main character in the series he probably was not in the editing room as much as a non-actor director.

Local PBS station airs a bunch of British comedy's and drama's on weekend nights. Wife and I enjoy the Great British Baking show and Beecham house and I used to watch Vicar of Dibley when I'd get a bit of insomnia.

I wonder too lmao.

The first 5 seasons are great, sixth season not so much. Interesting tidbit about the actor they got to replace Larry Wilcox, Eric Estrada didn't like him apparently because he didn't take the show seriously and supposedly did drugs. That's why he's missing from the final few episodes of season 6. Here in the USA you can find reruns of Chips on the Charge channel.

William Byron signed a 2 year contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/01/william-byron-signs-contract-extension-with-hendrick-motorsports/ I bet the win at Daytona helped William get a better deal. Aric Almirola signed a 1 year contract extension with Stewart Haas Motorsports https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/01/aric-almirola-sponsor-returning-to-shr-for-2021-season/ Germain Racing is mulling a possible sale due to having no sponsorship for 2021 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/09/01/germain-racing-pondes-2021-plans-including-potential-sale/ Germain Racing made their debut with Max Papis in 2009.

Happy Birthday Hobie

The Coke Zero 400 set the field for the playoffs. While Jimmie Johnson was making moves like an Earnhardt and looked like he might make it into the playoffs in his final season if not for a crash caused by Tyler Reddick blocking. Jimmie Johnson did what he needed to do finishing stage 1 & 2 ahead of his playoff spot competition and gaining much needed points but in the end it wasn't meant to be. Matt Dibenedetto clinched the final playoff spot finishing the race in 12th. William Byron clinched a spot in the playoffs by winning the race which quickly turned into a demolition derby in the final laps especially the final lap with only about half the field able to cross the finish line. Chase Elliot finished 2nd, Denny Hamlin 3rd, Martin Truex jr 4th and Bubba Wallace 5th. Brendan Gaughan in what might be his final Daytona race finished 8th even though he was involved in one of the late race wrecks but his car wasn't damaged as much as others. First race of the playoffs will be the Darlington Southern 500 which will be on NBCSN this Sunday at 6pm eastern.

Ya got that right Roger. I'd say 80-90% of what's on the internet isn't worth looking at. I woke up and seen there was a few notifications from my ring doorbell, went to see the videos from overnight and found out my internet was out as well as the ring cloud server internet. Our internet didn't come back on till after 10am. Even though I couldn't get on the internet thru my wifi somehow I was still able to stream thru the airyTV app that was the only tv streaming app that worked, I don't know how or why but glad I was able to watch a few episodes of Andy Griffith before breakfast. Also found a few odd Dukes of Hazzard gems at the local Antique mall, took some pics of them and will post the pictures later when I get a chance to upload them. WB milked DoH as much as they could back in it's heyday.

Don't know what is going on this morning but glad Hazzardnet isn't affected. Major internet outage going on apparently global wide but only seems to be affecting certain websites or areas.

And with the wreck with 2 laps to go Jimmie Johnson is officially out of the playoffs in his final season.

I hope this rumor isn't true but it appears Toyota is trying to court the King. I just can't see the fabled #43 on a Toyota . https://www.jayski.com/2020/08/26/bubba-wallace-richard-petty-motorsports-denny-hamlin-michael-jordan-toyota/

That last crash in the Indy 500 was scary but shows how safe the new cars are. Race control also made the right call by letting the race end under caution instead of red flagging it for a 2 lap sprint that most likely would have more wrecks. Now onto the Dover doubleheader... The first Dover cup race seen Joe Gibbs racing dominate and finish 1 2 3 with Denny Hamlin winning, Martin Truex jr finishing 2nd and Kyle Busch 3rd. Kevin Harvick finished 4th and Chase Elliot finished 5th. Jimmie Johnson finished 7th. The second Dover race seen Kevin Harvick dominate winning both stages and the race which moved him up the all time wins list to tie Kyle Busch with 56 wins, it was also Ford's 700th cup series victory. Martin Truex jr once again finished 2nd, Jimmie Johnson put on a clinic to finish 3rd, William Byron 4th and Alex Bowman finished 5th. To make the playoffs Jimmie Johnson must have a good finish in Saturday night's Daytona race and subsequently needs either his teammate William Byron or Matt Dibenedetto to have a bad race finish. Michael Waltrip is now in the brewery business with his Two Time line of beer https://www.jayski.com/2020/08/25/michael-waltrip-launches-two-time-beer-brand/ The Daytona race will air on NBC Saturday night at 7:30pm eastern.

Sounds like either the hardware in the tablet was/is nearing the end of its use or you got a virus on the tablet. I wouldn't delete your Facebook account over that.

Think I seen a shooting star/meteorite this morning while watching the wife leave for work. Seen a bright flash way up in the sky, thought it was a light from a plane coming or going from the nearby airport at first but there wasn't any more light flashes after that. Past few weeks I scored 2 old Tyco train sets from garage and estate sales, paid $5 each for them. Will have to see if I can fix the engine in the one set as it was taken apart but if I can't at least I doubled the amount of track I have. I still have the tyco train set I got as a kid too.

That was a shock when I loaded up the airy app on my Roku device yesterday when I got home and seen the Dukes of Hazzard channel. It's on 24/7 so you can catch an episode any time of the day

Good news good news, the Dukes of Hazzard is now streaming free on Airy tv app. it's available for free for Google and Apple phone's and tablets, Roku streaming devices and probably other streaming devices. You can also watch it here https://live.airy.tv/

No, the PS1 game disc will not work in the PS4 and there are no Dukes of Hazzard games on the PlayStation Network. Your best bet Roger would be to find a good used PS1 and find a ps1 copy of the games on ebay, at the moment prices range from a few dollars for used discs to $33 for new never opened. There was also a ps2 DoH game however it does not have the original cast doing voice overs. If you have an old windows xp computer that still works good you could get a PC copy of the PS1 games. Retro gaming is becoming a big thing so a lot of places such as used video and record/CD stores are carrying old gaming consoles for sale so check those stores out in your area.
