Spike

I hope so. Friday was a lousy day, car broke down, hope it won't cost a small fortune to get fixed.

Lord I hope the 1st week of 2019 isn't an omen to how the rest of the year is going to go, if it is I'm going to take a long nap and set the alarm for Dec. 31st 11:59pm lol.

I had plans to make some pull out shelves for the entertainment center to store our tv series dvd sets today since it was going to be 50 degrees but I felt the onset of a cold/flu so took some cold/flu medicine last night that knocked me out till 8am and even then I couldn't walk straight . Hope it's a short cold/flu.

His divorce probably has taken a big chunk of his savings from his hollywood career. I wish him well for the New year though.

Good Riddance to 2018 Here's to a happy 2019 If anybody enjoys Monopoly I recommend Monopoly Plus video game available on the Playstation store possibly XBox too. Wife and I played that a lot while she was on vacation and we had a blast.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas y'all

Things are peaceful next door again. Neighbor showed his buddy the door Sunday after they got into a food fight Two grown men throwing food at each other guess it's better than using guns. Meadowmufn hope you get to feeling better, you'll be in my prayers.

Here's a link to the podcast if anybody wants to listen http://billengvall.com/podcasts/tom-wopat-dukes-of-hazzard/

He was mentioned in a recent Bill Engvall podcast that Tom Wopat chatted with Bill on. Bill mentioned how he auditioned for one of the Duke boys replacement cast and Tom told him that Byron got the part thanks to John Schneider putting a good word in for him with the Producers.

I tell ya my christmas cheer is running a little low... Last few weeks been lousy. First my pc Tower motherboard blows a few capacitors and renders it useless, then my wife's laptop fan's bearings go out so that was a nice $130 wallet lightening. Then 2 flat tires on both cars, 1 a piece and strangely both on the passenger side rear, think they were both due to the housing development construction going on down the street, at least they happened on separate weeks. Top it off the dang neighbor let his drug addicted buddy stay with him for a few weeks which is always fun for us since they get into yelling matches every single day and we get to come home to our apartment smelling like skunk and burning tires since the lazy bum smokes weed all day. I just keep telling myself at least I have my health and things could be worse but man could I use a bottle of Jack Daniels right about now If it weren't' for watching some Dukes on DVD I'd probably get bleepfaced everynight.

Surprise Surprise Kurt Busch is going to drive the #1 Chip Ganassi Chevy for 2019 https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2018/12/04/kurt-busch-will-drive-for-chip-ganassi-racing-in-2019/ I don't know why they didn't announce this sooner it's not like it was a secret since Gene Haas announced it months ago . Way out of left field a new team snatched up Furniture Row's charter https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2018/12/04/new-owners-purchase-furniture-row-racings-charter/ I thought one of the other teams would have snagged that charter up. Not much other news in the Monster Cup silly season though it will probably heat back up in January.

The last 24 hours have pretty much used up all my patience... Found out last night that the little Huey Hogg Weasel at the closest Best Buy sold me locked phones instead of unlocked ones last friday even though he assured me they were unlocked phones so now I have to return them since they are useless on any other network except at&t and to top it off I won't get the full refund because there is a 15% restocking fee on cell phones. Think I'll let the wife handle returning them cuz if I go in there I'm gonna be cussing up a storm. Don't know why i didn't just drive to the other one clear across town, the customer service at that one is a billion times better than the closest one. Today stayed home all day waiting for the maintenance guy to show up to install the new bathroom countertop, sink and faucet only for him to show up @ 3pm to tell me one of the other maintenance guys on call over the weekend used them at a different property so he has to order all new ones and I'll have to stay home another day in the next couple of weeks. Thank god the local PBS station aired a rerun of The Highwaymen Live @ Nassau Coliseum this afternoon otherwise I'd be tearing the place up and spitting nails.

Sun (Elvis Presley's first recordings were @ Sun Record Company in Memphis)

Heard on the local news this morning that we've set a new record for November, cloudiest November on record, only 2 full days of sunshine from sunrise to sunset so far though we've had a few partly sunny days every week... and in the top 10 coldest Novembers on record. Hope December has a few more sunny days as long as we have a white Christmas.

This lady right here... though her Modern Family co-star Ariel Winter gives her a run for the money in Daisy Dukes shorts.

I wish NBC wouldn't have lost F1 coverage they did such a better job broadcasting F1 then ESPN/ABC has this year.

Every organization goes thru ups and downs but it seems with Nascar and their downswings they think the only way to fix it is change the rules and some rules make the racing worse. 2019 might be the last year for Nascar Racing as we've known it for the past 60+ years. Another season is over and we have another new Champion in Joey Logano. Todd Gordon made some great changes to make that car a rocket for the end. Thought Kyle Larson would win the race but he didn't fare so well when the track changed. A lot of drivers ran their last race this weekend. Matt Kenseth stated he's not interested in driving next year and he finished his career on a high note with a 6th place finish yesterday. Jamie McMurray might race the Daytona 500 for CGR or might find a ride with a different team for next year. AJ Almendinger is moving onto sports car racing in IMSA since Ryan Preece is taking the reigns of the #47. Kurt Busch, Trevor Bayne and Daniel Suarez's plans are still up in the air for next season.

And I thought the Brian France years were bad...https://www.yahoo.com/news/nascar-consider-ideas-changes-sport-181333071--spt.html

Well might have found out where the kittens are. Talked to the girl's mother who was helping her daughter move out Friday afternoon. Mother remembered the animal sanctuary where they dropped the kittens off. I contacted them through email and hopefully they haven't adopted the white one out yet. Turns out the scumbag boyfriend was abusing the girl, thank god she left him before it got worse. Her mother was happy she wasn't the only one that thought the boyfriend was a BLEEP, she told me that it was good to hear that her 'mother intuition' was still good. Hopefully the next guy she dates is a decent gentleman.

Funny thing is Viacom owns TVLand as well but TVLand is in a lot more households than CMT is so that's why TVLand jumped on the PC bandwagon. TVLand also took off The Cosby show after it came out that he was a sex predator and the 80's Roseanne reruns after her tweet last year.
