Once again mother nature delayed Cup races this time the double header at Pocono. Kevin Harvick won Saturday's rain delayed race, his first Pocono win. Denny Hamlin finished 2nd, Aric Almirola 3rd, Christopher Bell 4th and Kyle Busch 5th. Michael McDowell finished 8th with a strong run from starting 26th. Chris Buescher finished 10th from starting 24th. Sunday's race was also rain delayed and Denny Hamlin won with Kevin Harvick finishing 2nd. Eric Jones 3rd, Chase Elliot 4th and Aric Almirola 5th. Matt Dibenedetto finished 6th which is his 4th top 10 of the season. This weekend both Xfinity and cup races at Indianapolis are on NBC. Xfinity starts at 3pm Saturday afternoon. Cup starts at 4pm Sunday afternoon.

Hover, hover fly's get mistaken for bees due to their color and bands, but they are just as crucial as bees because they pollinate many flowers.

Gonna have to make it a triple dose Roger. Battery was dead in my car this morning. At least it was a simple job of replacing it unlike today's vehicles. The old battery I bought back in 2014 so I guess I got my money's worth out of it. Also found out yesterday that i lost out on a deck job. They decided to go with an epoxy coating company instead. The extra money sure would've been nice right now but at least we got 2 inches of rain the past 48hrs so I'll be busy mowing again.

Superman, boy I wish I could fly right now.

Been a long couple of days and I don't know how much more I can take... neighbor started up with us again. Apparently he doesn't give a about the law or he figures with all this BLM stuff going on the cops won't do anything to his buddy who is legally not even allowed on the property. The storm overnight apparently had some high winds which knocked a really large branch off a big maple onto my 1st car which also happened to be my grandpa's last car that was parked at my dad's property. No resto-modding it now, roof is caved in. Had a lot of plans for that car. Even though a lot family told me to junk it after the transmission was blown I held out since it was a rare two tone factory paint job on an '81 Monte Carlo that I hoped to bring back to a nice shiny luster. Was gonna drop in a LS motor to replace the anemic v6 that didn't have enough power to get out of its own way and also grab a new GM 6 speed auto trans. Was gonna upgrade the brakes to discs at all four corners and grab a set of later Monte Carlo 5 spoke rims. The interior I was gonna chuck the bench seat for buckets, was even thinking of going with a set from a 70's Monte that swiveled, and probably have them upholstered in leather in a tan color to match the interior color. None of that's happening now though .

V8

that'd be hilarious. I can picture uncle Jesse chewing the boys out for that prank. Wonder if anybody did pranks like that on set.

I grew up watching Gilligan's Island reruns but now I can't stand that show. There's only a couple of episodes that I enjoy and can watch over and over but that's it. MM it's interesting that you mention My Mother the Car as a DoH villain of the week, Avery Schreiber was on that show for 11 episodes.

Talladega.

Andrew Murstein, president of Medallion financial is the majority owner of Richard Petty Motorsports. You can read more about the organization here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Petty_Motorsports. Last time a Petty had majority ownership was with Petty Enterprises and 2008 was it's last year in Nascar before they merged with Gillet Evernham Motorsports in 2009. Petty Enterprises is still around but it now modifies street cars. They put out some nice muscle cars as of late .

Richard Petty is still a minority owner of Richard Petty Motorsports who owns the car Bubba Wallace drives, that's why the #43 is on it.

Usually my score is under par and I win the bets but ya can't win them all even though my competitive tries every trick in the book too. Yeah Erie is only clear when the area tributaries don't get rain for a week or so, unless you go way out into the middle of Erie where the sediment doesn't reach.

https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/06/23/bubba-wallace-fbi-says-no-federal-hate-crime-committed-at-talladega/ You'd think someone could have been able to tell the difference between a noose and a rope used as a handle for a garage door. But it sure put Nascar in the headlines this weekend and I'm sure some extra eyes on the race yesterday .

Celebrated my birthday by going minigolf-ing. My game was way off yesterday only hit a par 2 once. My worst hole was a ten stroke lmao. The wife clobbered me, good thing she didn't want to bet like we usually do lol. We kept hearing a frog call at one hole, I ended up locating it in one of the pond's pipes that's either used to fill or clean it so I broke a stick off a nearby bush and shoved it in the hole, hope the frog climbed its way out. Even though the Nascar race wasn't at Sonoma like it usually is on or around my birthday at least it was at another favorite track of mine, Talladega. Finally had some rain here, been about 2 weeks since the last measurable rainfall. Chances of rain all week and I hope it does rain most of the days.

That last lap sure was exciting especially at the finish line. Ryan Blaney won his 2nd Talladega race by inches. What's really surprising is there was no 'big one' wreck that takes out 1/4 of the cars or more. Ricky Stenhouse jr took 2nd, Aric Almirola 3rd and JGR teammates Denny Hamlin and Erik Jones 4th and 5th. Kevin Harvick's 10th place finish keeps him at the top of point's standings. Next week is a doubleheader at Pocono, Saturday's race will be on Fox and Sunday's on FS1. Was interesting to see all the drivers and teams push Bubba Wallace's car down pit road in a show of support and solidarity .

I hope they find out who did that noose hanging in the #43 stall and give them a permanent ban from every race track in America if they can't legally charge the scumbag with anything.

Yeah iirc it was after that race they made the restrictor plate smaller because the car went into the fence. The next Daytona race it was a single file race as nobody could get a run. We'll have to see what the new changes they made will do for the superspeedway racing probably tomorrow as it looks like more rain is moving into Talladega, at least Antennatv channel is running a Coach marathon today .

Birthday

I wouldn't hold out much hope for that Hoss. Amazon is pulling DoH from it's streaming service. WB will probably be throwing it in the vault never to see the light of day again like they have with the "offensive" Looney Tunes cartoons as it would be too much trouble to got thru all the video and digitally erase the flag and name off the car.

Seen on the local news this morning an interview with some guy that organized a local 'juneteenth' celebration. He said celebrating July 4th is like celebrating slavery and racism. Looks like USA's Independence day is next on the Cancel Culture list. Yet they have no problem 'celebrating' July 4th by setting off fireworks all night long.

Hopefully it's more racy than the follow the leader till the end of the stages Xfinity race was yesterday. Better enjoy the races while it lasts...https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/06/19/nascar-covid-19-stewart-haas-racing-team-penske/ I doubt we'll get a full season. From what I heard on the news it looks like college football will be cancelled this year as well after several players have tested positive for covid19 during training.

Wedding

Well you can say goodbye to Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Mrs Butterworths and Cream of Wheat . If the people would look at the history of how some of these brands came to be they'd probably be proud of them. Wonder what brand is next. I know one thing you better get your Dukes of Hazzard DVDs if you don't have them or have defective discs before they stop selling them, it's only a matter of time.

Listened to Dale jrs latest podcast while I was doing some yard work at one of my clients and he said the best thing... "I hope the Cancel Culture Cancels Itself. Stop trying to erase history.". Y'all probably wouldn't like to hear the rest of it though as the 'flag' is brought up and he's happy Nascar banned it etc. etc...
