Heard on the news earlier that Ohio Governor is thinking about closing the border with Michigan. I don't know how the heck he can do it as there is so many roads that cross the border and even then someone could just cross the Michigan/Indiana border and come into Ohio that way. I still haven't had a full nights sleep in weeks even though I've stopped watching the news except for a quick 15 minutes in the morning and that's just mainly to hear what the weather will be for the day. I got to find some way to get a full 7+ hours of sleep in. Grocery shopping here is becoming hit and miss with all the crazy panic buyers. Saturday for instance the Butter section was completely emptied, one of the employees said Friday night people came in and grabbed as much butter as they could. And Toilet Paper, if you don't get there when the stores open and make a mad dash to that aisle you're not getting any. I can't wait for this insanity to end...

Geuss the article I read was wrong about not needing an account. It's still free but you need to sign up to watch.

Forgot to mention if you haven't heard the news already, WWE streaming network is free for everybody for the next few weeks so if there's any classic Wrestlemanias or Summer Slams or even the old Saturday Night Main Event's you want to re-watch now's your chance. You don't need to an account or to even set up an account. Just download the app to your phone or smart tv and get to watching.

An interview Dale Earnhardt Jr did with Rick Hendrick had a lot of interesting tidbits about that movie https://www.dirtymomedia.com/dalejrdownload/episode/240bd494/275-rick-hendrick-im-not-gonna-let-him-fail Check your local listings as it appears Fox is now airing old Nascar races in place of the originally scheduled ones this year. Last Sunday was 1986 Richmond.

Well here in Ohio the governor basically said Shelter in place which started midnight this morning. My wife's work is one of the business's not shutting down because they are making some kind of doohickey for Hospitals though after they fill their latest order the boss might shut it down for a week or two. We've taken some time off working for my cousin since one of the businesses we clean the employees travel all over the world and we just don't feel safe cleaning the offices at this time. Saturday we had to go to 4 stores just to fill this week's grocery list The last stores that were open for 24 hours in town finally scaled back their hours to just 12 hours a day to mitigate the panic buying. Sad part is even though stores are limiting certain products to 1 or 2 per customer people are still finding ways around that by either going in multiple times or using their kids or hitting all the stores for the same product. I was chatting with one store employee when we were waiting in line for the store to open and we were talking about the milk panic buying the other day and one of the panic buyers happened to chime in saying they needed all that milk for their business, then it got kind of ugly with the crowd so the topic got changed to calm things down. Hopefully with this shut in order maybe the stores can restock their shelves. Stay safe and Healthy everyone. Thank god we all have Hazzard county to escape too every once and a while.

God knows why but they will be airing this on FS1 instead of Fox , the local Fox affiliate just airs either infomercials all day or some stupid movies I've never heard of so it's not like they don't have the free airtime.

It may not be the real thing but at least it will take our minds off of things for a while https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/03/17/dale-jr-kyle-busch-denny-hamlin-kyle-larson-nascar-drivers-to-take-part-in-iracing-pro-invitational-series/ just hope Fox or NBC picks up the broadcasting.

You know TDOH was mentioned on the Dale Jr download podcast last week https://www.dirtymomedia.com/dalejrdownload/episode/1c5c6bc2/288-ken-schrader-the-best-week-ever. I haven't slept much this week. Now the wife and I are quarantining ourselves from the doom and gloom news, we just watch about an hour of the news throughout the day. Before bed we try to find sitcoms either on the retro tv channels or streaming apps to try and clear our heads before bedtime. We found out yesterday that our part time 2nd job might be closing for a few weeks or more, we'll find out for sure tomorrow. Wife's work is also talking about closing for a few weeks so looks like we might be without an income till the lawns grow here. Is the panic buying in the rural grocery stores as bad as it is in the city ones? The other day people were buying cart loads of milk. I can understand 3 gallons but if you buy more than that and don't drink it all it's just going to spoil unless you have a big family. Bread shelves are still bare here along with soup, water and sugary juices etc... Stay happy and healthy y'all

Growing up in a not so safe neighborhood where you locked your doors and put 2x4's above opening windows it still astounds me that people leave doors unlocked and stuff in their vehicles. I remember the first overnight trip the wife and I took to a small nearby town. The B&B we stayed at left the doors unlocked 24/7 and even kept the back door open all night. I shut the door when I got up to use the bathroom overnight and got chastised the next morning by the owner . Though recently that small town has been hit with a rash of burglaries and car break ins so I bet to the residents there lock the doors now.

It's official Nascar schedule postponed till May 3rd https://m.nascar.com/news-media/2020/03/16/nascar-schedule-update-statement-race-coronavirus/

Looking like there won't be any Nascar race till May at the earliest. A lot of states are banning large gatherings for the next 4-8 weeks. Some, like Ohio, have even gone as far as forcing closure of restaurants and bars. If you didn't see it some Nascar drivers and crew did an Iracing race yesterday streamed live on Twitch called the Replacements 100 https://www.enascar.com/news-media/2020/03/15/team-penskes-josh-williams-wins-star-studded-replacements-100-race/ and I read there's talk of them doing one every Sunday till the real racing starts up again. I was gonna buy a Nascar game for my PS3 but dang all the local stores are sold out, guess everybody got the racing itch lol.

People should quarantine themselves from social media. I've read so much BS in the past 24 hours. Sad part is some people believe some of the crap. Has common sense been bred out of the majority of the population?!! Wife and I stopped at the grocery store yesterday after we got done with work and it seems to things have calmed down a little bit. Finished buying almost everything that was on our usual shopping list. Seems bread is now the hot commodity of the moment as it is sold out at every store and every time it is restocked there's a mad rush. Geuss there was almost a riot over toilet paper Saturday afternoon at that store because managers put a 2 package per person limit. Employee we have befriended told us that one of the managers came close to calling the police. She said people calmed down after hearing the p word. Stay healthy, and if you need a good laugh I recommend finding Billy Gardell's Halftime either on Amazon or one of the streaming apps. It is hilarious and had us laughing the whole 70 minutes.

https://m.nascar.com/news-media/2020/03/13/nascar-statement-on-atlanta-miami-race-events/ I was looking forward to this race to escape from all this insanity. F1 has postponed races till the end of May. IMSA has postponed races till May. NHRA has postponed the Gator Nationals this weekend, haven't decided on future events yet.

Cooter's Chevelle. Probably a Ford and GMC pickup for spare parts for the tow truck. Couple of Dodge Monaco's and Plymouth fury's for repairing the patrol cars. A few Jeep's, a van or two and Ford sedans.

If it isn't yet then let me warn you go grocery shopping and get yourself some food while you still can because this insanity will probably spread to every city and small town. We went shopping at 6am this morning and I've never seen store shelves so bare. All the soup was gone, hamburger meat, fish, chicken, roast, ribs, ham, turkey etc... you name it the store was sold out of it. Luckily they got a few trucks in overnight with milk and eggs and cereal and some other food. If you didn't get your pet food yet better do it. Just talked to my dad a few minutes ago and he told me people are now hoard buying pet food here, glad I grabbed some cat food this morning. This is so freaking nuts, my God people are acting like the world is ending. It's just a virus, sure it's a nasty little one but it's still just a virus and humanity has survived worse.

Nascar has joined all the other sports organizations and postponed the Atlanta and Homestead races. Indycar today announced all races in March and April have been cancelled. Which also means Jimmie Johnson will not be testing an indycar. F1 also cancelled the Australian Grand Prix.

Since stores are out of toilet paper here people are hoarding water and food now. It is insane here. As I drove by grocery stores this morning on the way to work I noticed the parking lots were full to capacity. My dad went to the local Sam's club tonight and said the shelves were empty except for non food items like clothes and electronics. What all these lemmings don't realize is all this panic buying is doing is putting a strain on the supply system.
