It's been rescheduled for Saturday afternoon between 3 & 4pm eastern and if that don't work out then they will try Sunday at the same time. Haven't had to water the gardens all week, been raining everyday this week. The lettuce has shot up though, doubled in size. This weekend will be cool though with lows in the low 40's brrrr.

Chase Elliot got his first win if the season last night at Charlotte, he also won the Charlotte Truck race Tuesday night. Kevin Harvick's streak of top 5's ended last night with a 10th place finish, his streak if top 10's is now at 13 though. Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Ricky Stenhouse jr and Kurt Busch round out the top 5. The young guns at Hendrick have been really good this year. Wonder who he'll pick for the #48 next year. Wonder if it will be another up and comer or a veteran.

Check your local TV stations as today the USA will make history again when a Space X rocket will carry two astronauts to the International Space Station. It will be the first time we put our own astronauts in space since the last space shuttle mission. It's supposed to happen between 4 & 5pm eastern.

I tell ya it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you're family circles the wagons around you . Wish I could give em all some hugs for the 'you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us' support. Got the tomato's, cucumbers and corn in the ground Saturday in the garden at my dad's only to see the squirrels dug up half the tomato's Sunday morning. Gonna put chicken wire around the pots today to keep them furry tailed rats out. Weather's been hot, 90's since Friday. Then this Friday the high is only going to be 72 with lows in the 40's. Just hope we don't get another frost. Have to replant carrots as the late frost we had already killed the seedlings.

I feel for this country when this young "it's all about me, me, me." Generation gets into power. Some of the interviews the news shown yesterday from some places where they were packed in like sardines in a can just makes you shake your head. One kid even said "if I get it(covid 19) I'm gonna make sure everyone gets it" He obviously has no respect for anyone else's life. I pray the people in that generation that don't have that 'it's all about me' mentality out number the ones that do otherwise this country will be headed down a dark path.

Looked like Alex Bowman was going to dominate the race last night, he won both stages 1 & 2. I went to bed after stage 2 so I don't know what happened after that, was planning on watching the whole race but the rain delay put the kibosh on that. Joey Logano won stage 3. Chase Elliot looked like he was going to win the race until a late caution and deciding to pit instead of staying out put Brad Keselowski into the lead and in victory lane. Jimmie Johnson was dq'd after his car failed post race inspection. Denny Hamlin's team will possibly be fined and penalized for ballast falling off of his car during the pace laps. Kevin Harvick's streak of top 5's continues.

The 2nd Darlington race had some weather issues. Even though the start of the race was moved to an earlier time the rain still delayed the start of the race. I ended up going to bed so I didn't see any of it. From what I've read this morning it looks like Chase Elliot had a good chance to win the race till Kyle Busch wrecked him late in the rain shortened race. Denny Hamlin went on to win and Kyle Busch finished 2nd and Sunday's winner Kevin Harvick finished 3rd. Although Chase Elliot approached the racing surface to give Kyle a nice gesture it appears Nascar won't penalize him. The Coca Cola 600 is Sunday on Fox, hopefully mother nature will hold off on the rain this time.

That'd be great but we'll be happy in a quiet, safe neighborhood at this point. Anywhere without drama. We're going to see if we can get a mortgage loan from our bank and go from there and if that don't work out try and find a house to rent in a good neighborhood nearby.

Yeah with all the rain we had this week and the warmer temps coming next week I expect the mosquito horde to soon follow. I'm hoping to get the plants in the ground this weekend.

Well hopefully we have our peaceful life back again, at least until our lease is up and we have found a new place to live. Police had to intervene again but nobody went to jail which is fine with us as long as the troublemaker is not allowed around here anymore.

Well since Ohioans couldn't follow simple social distancing rules this past weekend some bars and restaurants might get closed down again. On top of that the governor is going to increase policing of those businesses for a short time. Still can't understand the logic in opening bars and restaurants but still keeping the campgrounds closed . Though some of the privately owned ones I heard are opening.

Adulterated Alcohol... Apparently the Mexican government is using this term for moonshine

Check the disc for any fingerprints or dust. If you have an air can around use open the tray of your DVD player and blow it out a few seconds. Could also be your DVD player is getting worn out too. Have family or friends try out the disc and if it works ok in their player's then you know it's your player that has issues.

Kevin Harvick celebrated his 50th cup series win yesterday which puts him at #12 on the wins list sharing the spot with Ned Jarret and Junior Johnson. Alex Bowman finished 2nd and was a strong contender for the win. He also signed a 1 year extension with Hendrick Motorsports https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/05/16/alex-bowman-hendrick-motorsports-nascar-contract-extension-free-agency/ Rounding out the top 5 was Kurt Busch, Chase Elliot and Denny Hamlin. Matt Kenseth finished 10th in his first race since November 2018. Ryan Newman finished 15th Rookies Tyler Reddick finished 7th and John Hunter Nemechek finished 9th. I think if Jimmie Johnson didn't wreck he would have won the race if not finished in the top 3. Hopefully he does well Wednesday night. That race will air on FS1 at 7:30pm est.

I have no idea, it was growing between the cracks of the concrete where it meets with the porch and since we had a dry week till Friday the plants were mostly dead since I guess they bloomed already. I can say they were thin stalked with thin leaves. Will have to take a picture of them if they come back this year.

Forgot to tell this funny thing that happened yesterday... So I'm trimming weeds at me dad's yesterday. There's these odd plants around his front porch and when I clipped them I got showered in seeds. It seems when the plants are ready to spread their seed they shoot them out when they get disturbed as I tapped the next one with my foot and seeds shot out of the plant. I can't say "I've never been attacked by a plant" anymore . Just glad I had my safety glasses on.

I don't see why not if the disc is defective. At the time I had gotten 3 seasons of DoH as a birthday gift so by the time I got around to watching the season I had with the defective disc about 6+ months passed from the date it was purchased. I couldn't find the email but I think I contacted wb shop, on their website they have a 'contact us' in the customer service menu.

Feels like the Hatfield's and McCoy's around here so I bought the doorbell camera. I'm a private person but knowing this is up and I can check that the wife gets home safe if I'm not here makes me feel a lot better. Wish we would have bought this sooner.

Contact Warner Brothers, they replaced my season set that had a defective disc for free. I'll search my email to see if I still have the correspondence and give you the department to contact.
