Congrats Roger. Be sure to find a hobby that takes up some of your time or if you have grandkids spend more time with them. Wife and I went to the Toledo zoo the other day. I'm guessing one of the workers there wears a coat like the one I wore as a lot of animals kept coming up to their enclosures like I was going to feed them . When we walked up to the meerkat exhibit a group of them walked up and stood there looking at me and chirping away. Almost seen the giraffe's go xxx, male was tiring himself out chasing the female around . They finally finished renovating the 2nd oldest building they have, they really knocked it out of the park. Building now has a 2 story rainforest conservatory with a few tropical birds and hummingbirds and butterfly's flying around it, some tropical frogs on the ground so you definitely have to watch your step. They must have at least a 100 different plant species in there as well. In another part of the building they have an exhibit full of animal skeletons and heads and furs for kids to touch and feel along with hundreds of dead bugs on display. In another part is a small live amphibian/reptile section and bug section and a small aquarium section. In the Main hall they have prehistoric creatures of North America; Mastodon, Woolly Mammoth, Sabre tooth Tiger, American Lion, Short Faced Bear and an extinct species of Moose. We spent almost 3 hours in that building and didn't even realize it there is just so much to see in there now and we didn't even see it all as there were a few rooms closed off still.

I think it's being a bit blown out of proportion but it's definitely not something to take lightly either. Give your immune system a boost by drinking and eating healthy, if you don't like pomegranates than drink some Pom juice as that stuff has alot of antioxidants. It's unfortunate that were already to the point of stores having to limit purchases of some items because of hoarders and scumbags trying to make a quick buck.

I'm sure a push up bra helped in a few episodes. I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed either

NW Ohio. By the time the snow was done we got 4 inches on the grass but on the pavement we just had barely an inch. Of course with the warm temps we had over the weekend all the snow has melted. Did manage to get to a local park and take several snow pics though. I'm glad I don't live here though https://www.today.com/home/lake-erie-homes-completely-encased-ice-after-storm-t174944 that's just crazy. Well looks like the company that made the Trail Camera won't back up the warranty I contacted them again and got the same automated reply. Really ticks me off though I guess I shouldn't be surprised since some of the reviews I've read recently it looks like others have had same issues with contacting the company about warranty claims. Sucks that it's owned by a fishing/hunting conglomerate with several brands that are now on my Never Buying Again list. I see Febreeze now makes Air Freshener sprays for men, while shopping the other day the wife pointed out the new scents. One is Wood; has a mixture of Cedar, Oud & Amber, it's quite a pleasant wood smell and it doesn't hang in the air forever like some air fresheners do. The other scent is Forest which is supposed to smell like a rain forest I guess but it's another pleasant smell.

Here's the latest news on the Next Gen Cup Car https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/03/02/william-byron-austin-dillon-joey-logano-erik-jones-nascar-nextgen-test-auto-club-speedway-fontana/ https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/03/02/nascar-pit-stop-single-lug-nut-change-from-five-lug-nuts-2021-season-john-probst/ https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/03/03/william-byron-chad-knaus-next-gen-car-test-auto-club-speedway/ Yet they are dropping 4 lugnuts Don't see no cars on the road with just one lug nut except ones with very shaky rides lol. Looks like several people will be without a job come the day after the final race this season as teams will no longer need Chassis builders or the ones that build the bodies. If any of you guys are interested in seeing what racing with the next gen car will be like I recommend checking out a V8 Supercars race or two, you can find several videos on youtube. From what I've read it sounds like that is the most similar current race car at the moment, they have 1 lug wheels, sequential transmissions and v8's; major difference is they have the steering wheel on the right side. Tony Stewart is climbing back behind the wheel of an Xfinity car this July 4th weekend for the Indy road course race https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/03/04/tony-stewart-indianapolis-motor-speedway-nascar-xfinity/ I'm looking forward to this race Next years Busch Clash will be run on the Road Course at Daytona https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/03/04/daytona-speedweeks-schedule-2021-busch-clash-moves-to-road-course/ Wonder if we'll see more cars finish than this years Clash.

I have that Lunch Box too

If any of you guys have a trail cam I suggest checking it regularly. I was checking mine this morning as I had put it out on the patio to see what animal has been nosing around the planters, when I grabbed it i noticed that it was warm even though the temps over night was about 30 degrees F. When I brought it in I couldn't get it to turn off so I could check the memory card so I thought that it might be due to the weather so I set it on the table and ate breakfast. After breakfast I grabbed it again only this time it was Hot and smelled like burning wires so I got the batteries out and the sd card and put it outside just in case it started to burn. So I guess I'll be shopping for a new trail camera unless the company sends me a replacement but their first correspondence didn't instill confidence that they will honor the warranty. Saturday while we were out and about running errands we witnessed a guy dump his just bought motorcycle while trying to go around railroad gates. He apparently didn't want to wait the few minutes for a locomotive to cross and while trying to navigate around the gates gave it to much throttle and fishtailed, overcorrected and fell. He was uninjured thanks to the helmet he just bought with the bike but both the bike and helmet suffered damage. The bike dealership was right next to the train tracks so the guy didn't even make it 50 ft before he wrecked it. The salesman told us he was going to ride it home since it was such a nice day. Maybe he should rethink his purchase and sell the bike after he has it repaired even though he will probably lose money on it. If you ride be safe. Forgot to mention... Yesterday the local tv weathermen said we were about to get the most snowfall this season with the winter storm today omg the sky is falling blah blah blah. This morning they changed their tune to we might see 4 inches of snow at most over the next 36 hours . Second time this month they got everybody riled up that we were going to get slammed with snow only to be hit with a few inches.

There's a bounty out on Kyle Busch https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/02/22/kyle-busch-kevin-harvick-nascar-trucks-bounty/ News on Ryan Newman https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/02/23/ryan-newman-ross-chastain-steve-newmark-roush-fenway-racing-nascar-daytona/ https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/02/26/ryan-newman-roush-fenway-racing/

Check out estatesales.net and put in your ZIP code. I've come across some of the items you mentioned at sales in my area and I wouldn't be surprised if you found a few in your area as well as some DoH memorabilia. Just a little advice be prepared to do some combat saleing, there are people that go to estate and garage sales that didn't have an Uncle Jessie to teach them manners when growing up. You will get pushed, shoved, stuff ripped out of your hands, your money stolen if you don't have a death grip on your wallet or purse etc... Some of the stories I could tell you... at one sale I almost got pushed down stairs by one impatient jackwagon. I've come across some rally neat vintage or antique items at sales though.

Thank God that Ryan Newman is alive https://m.nascar.com/news-media/2020/02/17/statement-status-roush-fenway-racing-driver-ryan-newman/. Don't think anybody really deserves blame for that horrific wreck it's just a component of superspeedway racing. That was a huge shove Denny gave Ryan Blaney. I thought he was going to push Blaney right in to Newman they were going so fast. I think Nascar should go back to throwing the yellow flag out for last lap crashes again instead of letting the leaders race back to the checkered flag, at least at Daytona and Talladega. Denny doing donuts in the infield though was absolutely classless, and his excuse on Twitter... SMH. Dale Jr didn't do donuts when he won the Daytona race that Austin Dillon went into the catchfence. I won't be rooting for Denny anymore if the race win comes down to him or Kyle Busch and I really dislike Kyle Busch. If you want to see the wreck there's plenty of replays on YouTube and Twitter but even knowing he's alive seeing the wreck still puts a lump in my throat so be prepared if you haven't seen it yet. I can imagine Corey Lajoie was an emotional mess after that just like Ryan Blaney was in his post race interview.

The King as in Jerry 'the king' Lawler

Yeah it would have been great for the Christmas episode. It seems we're going to get our winter's seasons worth of snow this month since most of December and January were rain. According to the one station we're already halfway there, and they said we could have significant snowfall with this next storm Wednesday night. Got 4 inches in one storm last Wed., another inch+ Thursday night and about 2+ inches yesterday before it turned over to rain.Figures I was just started thinking what plants to plant this Spring . Darndest thing about the tire on the wife's car, pressure hasn't gone down since I last filled it, didn't make it to the tire shop because the wife had to work and I had stuff to do that Saturday but for whatever reason the tire is holding air fine now . Still will probably get new tires this summer though as we're sick of dealing with all the trouble we've had with this set.

That sucks Hoss. On the internet these days nothing is safe, there's always someone out there that would rather take your work and pass it off as theirs instead of doing it themselves.

Well the 2020 Nascar silly season has started with Kevin Harvick signing a 2 year contract extension with SHR https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/02/08/kevin-harvick-nascar-stewart-haas-racing/ Tony Stewart has a videogame coming out soon https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/02/05/tony-stewart-sprint-car-racing-nascar/ I hope next weeks Daytona 500 isn't like yesterdays Clash. What a demolition derby and a stupid joke of a finish.

boring... I'm sure everybody had a boring job at one time.

Lets try an keep politics out of Hazzard. I come here to get away from it all.

Nascar shortening the final stage for some races https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/01/28/nascar-shortens-final-stage-for-several-cup-races/ Official Daniel Suarez to Gaunt Bros Racing https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/01/28/daniel-suarez-gaunt-brothers-racing-marty-gaunt/ and Silly Season Scorecard https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/01/28/daniel-suarez-silly-season-gaunt-brothers-nascar/

Nope you're not the only one. This has been one lousy January. Made plans for every weekend this month only to have them go kablooey every weekend either because of weather or car troubles. Was gonna go to the movies Sunday but the mysterious coolant leak in my car finally became a bigger leak and one of the Good(for a)years on the wife's car was half empty. Mechanic should have my car fixed tomorrow and then we get the fun of going back to the tire shop Sat. morning with her car to see why the tire won't hold air. If we could afford too I'd buy a new set of tires, sick of dealing with the goodyears that are on it.

Daniel Suarez will be driving the Gaunt Bros Racing #96 Toyota for 2020 https://sports.yahoo.com/dropped-stewart-haas-driver-suarez-182053261.html Kyle Busch will be making his Sports car racing debut this weekend at the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona. He'll be driving the #14 Lexus RC F GT3. For the first time in a really long time the beginning and end will be broadcast on an OTA network so check your local NBC station's schedule. Coverage starts at 1:30pm eastern Saturday and will end on Sunday noon -2pm eastern on NBC, in between it will air on NBCSN and NBC Gold streaming service. Nascar Traditionalists ya better enjoy this season of Nascar as it looks like it will be the last with a manual transmission. For the 2021 next gen car it looks like they will be going with a sequential shifter, basically push forward for upper gears and backwards for lower gears. https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/01/16/nascar-next-gen-car-erik-jones-miami/

If you have someone else change the oil in your vehicles make sure they know just how much to put in. My dad got an oil change back in late November at a nearby tire store since he had gotten a free oil change coupon from them when he had one of the tires fixed there. Well it turns out they put 2 quarts too much oil in his Cruze. 2 weeks ago it developed a misfire and of course my dad, Mr. Procrastinator, let it go till my wife got his brother involved after our weekend plans got derailed. Anyways my uncle had him take it to his mechanic and it needed new spark plugs because they were completely black from the over abundance of oil. Mechanic also did an oil change and fixed another thing that was related to a recent GM TSB bulletin. Hopefully there's no other issues that will pop up from that oil change. I think that 2nd free oil change coupon from that tire store will go unused lol. We got about 4-5 inches of snow from that same storm Roger, though the snow we got was the wet heavy kind before it turned over to sleet and then rain. That was a pain in the back to shovel, luckily just had to do 2 driveways this time. Just glad my winter coat is waterproof, the rest of me got soaked though from the rain and sleet. This weekend's weather forecast looks similar but the local tv meteorologists keep saying it's going to be mostly rain but that's what they said last week before the storm.
