Multiple city's, towns, townships etc... here have made wearing masks mandatory in buildings and outside where you can't social distance. Some going as far as handing out $500 fines. So if you travel through Ohio bring a mask.

I can imagine the rates for Hazzard citizens were the highest in the state no matter what kind of auto insurance.

Nascar veterans Tony Stewart and Ray Evernham join forces to create an IROC like series for short tracks https://apnews.com/a3c2a818a0b7490c320b77c77e0f28b0 it will be called SRX and air on CBS sports network in 2021.

The ring camera caught some interesting stuff over the weekend. Caught the neighbors buddy smoking crack out front and also the buddy's latest addict flousie reaching underneath the fence to mess with our flower garden, hope she enjoyed all the pickers from my cactus patch. I would show the footage to the manager but they don't give a anyways so I'd just be wasting my time. Hopefully we'll be checking out some houses this coming weekend so we can get the heck out of here. Surprisingly the market here is on fire, few houses we both liked got sold before we could even get a tour.

One of the stories they talk about in the podcast is about a car they entered into a race with a movie cameras in it and I think it accidentally lead a lap after everyone went to pit road during a caution or something. Here's a link to the podcast https://www.dirtymomedia.com/dalejrdownload/episode/240bd494/275-rick-hendrick-im-not-gonna-let-him-fail

Cole Custer stole the win at Kentucky yesterday with help from a big push from Matt Dibenedetto. The momentum pushed him past Martin Truex jr, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Blaney who went 3 wide for the lead in the final restart. Cole Custer went to the outside to make it 4 wide for the lead. Martin Truex jr finished 2nd, Matt Dibenedetto 3rd, Kevin Harvick 4th and Kurt Busch 5th. Early in the race Aric Almirola had the dominant car but after a bad pit stop he got stuck in traffic and his car was not good in dirty air. He did manage to finish 8th though. Jimmie Johnson was having a good race and looked like he could've taken the lead on a late restart till he got turned by Brad Keselowski. He ended up finishing 18th and is in the final non winning chase for the championship spot. If he has a dnf or bad finish in any more of the regular season races without a win he could miss the chase the the 2nd year in a row. The All Star race is this Wednesday night @ 7pm eastern, I think it's on FS1. The rest of the season will be on NBC or NBCSN.

Hope all is well.

Been a while since I've seen it too. I caught the last half hour of it yesterday as it was streaming live. Will have to watch the whole movie before it's run is up. Surprised the confederate flag is still in the movie, thought they would have digitally removed it with the remaster. I'd recommend listening to the Dale Jr Download podcast with Rick Hendrick as he tells a few stories about that movie since they supplied the race cars.

Just thought I'd let you guys know Days of Thunder is streaming for free on Pluto and other streaming apps this month, think it's the new 4k remaster.

Looks like Nascar needs to bring a squared circle to the tracks https://youtu.be/lx0-00Tnyn8.

Instead of goofy gimmicks how about fixing the handling of the cars for better racing.

I can only stand the morning news for about 20 minutes then I change it over to one of the retro tv channels or pop a dvd in. I'm still working my way through Season 4, on disc 7 now. After I finish Season 4 I'll probably pop in a Simsons season set I recently got as a gift. With everything going on lately I need an escape otherwise I'd go nuts.

I've been doing that every morning with my breakfast

If you have a garbage disposal do yourself a favor and put an old pan or dish under it just in case it ever springs a leak like the one in our apartment did yesterday. Another tip use some scrap vinyl flooring to cover the area beneath the kitchen sink in case a leak does happen it won't ruin your cabinet. God I sure could use a drama free day or two of fishing.

Here's the Nascar schedule for August. https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/07/08/nascar-schedule-daytona-watkins-glen-international/. Will be interesting to see them race the Daytona road course instead of Watkins Glen.

Might have to retract that statement, Pin the Tail on the Dukes is pretty darn funny too . Hector about stole all the Dukes vehicles lol.

I think that's the best episode of season 4, definitely the funniest. Whoever casted the extras for this show made the right decision with Bob Hastings as the conman Quack doctor.

That many tire failures was more than just a fluke. Maybe a bad batch of tires or some teams cranking the camber and toe way past what Goodyear's recommended limit was. Denny's right front tire only had iirc 26 laps on it. The banking at Indy is only 9 degrees and that's only in the turns, so banking can't be an issue like it is at other tracks. I watched a stream before from a European streamer because the race was on FS1 so I had to find an online stream. It was very interesting to not hear the American commentators. I'm not sure who was doing the commentary but they at least were very knowledgeable about nascar.

John Schneider's, Tom Wopat's and creator Guy Waldron's response https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/dukes-hazzard-stars-john-schneider-tom-wopat-respond-controversy-cars-confederate-flag-1302105

Wow Yahoo has two story's about this on their main page https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/the-dukes-of-hazard-car-confederate-flag-remain-display-illinois-auto-museum-174630054.html Why do I get the feeling Volo is now going to be either protested or vandalized.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/dukes-hazzard-car-confederate-flag-224221889.html Good for them for not caving into the "cancel culture".

The commentary from John and Tom is interesting to listen to on that episode. I thought this episode was really cheesy with the whole mask thing. They could have went to a store and bought Bo and Luke Halloween masks and have Turk and Moody wear them instead of having Tom and John act like the bad guys. It's episodes like this you can really tell who had more acting experience at the time.
