    Well y'all car 24 was back in Victory Lane after today's COTA road race. Too bad Jeff Gordon wasn't driving it. He use to be known as the road race king as he was good at them. But so is William Byron, who now drives the 24 car for Hendrick. Still great to see 24 car in Victory Lane. (Though I was hoping for the 9 car. Elliott needs to figure something out...LOL)

    I didn't bother writing a report for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix two weeks ago because although there were a few good fights down the field, it finished as another Red Bull 1-2. I will give a special mention to Oliver Bearman who was a last minute stand-in for Ferrari and finished seventh in his first ever grand prix at just 18 years old.

    Today's race was the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. Max Verstappen claimed another pole, but was overtaken Ferrari's Carlos Sainz on the second lap. Max suffered a rare technical failure two laps later and had to retire his Red Bull when one of his rear brakes caught fire. Lewis Hamilton also retired at nearly one third distance when his Mercedes engine failed. His team mate George Russell crashed on the last lap leaving Mercedes pointless in Australia. Carlos Sainz went on to win the race with his team mate Charles Leclerc in second, followed by the McLarens of Lando Norris and local hero Oscar Piastri in third and fourth. Sergio Perez could only manage fifth in the second Red Bull. Carlos Sainz's victory was even more impressive because he missed the last race with appendicitis.

    I watched the bristol race and I guess I'm in the minority thinking it was a lousy race. Tires barely lasted 40-45 laps and it seems only JGR teams could manage it leaving everyone else a few seconds behind trying to conserve tires. Goodyear and NASCAR even gave all the teams an extra set of tires. You know maybe it's time NASCAR allowed a full day of practice again to suss out stuff like this so they know ahead of time what might become an issue.

    I heard that tires were an issue at Bristol. Which is frustrating for everyone and it affects the driver's season and points. As someone pointed out that I saw...what if this were a Chase race or an elimination race and it all came down to tires? I really miss the old way of racing where it was about talent and the drivers and teams. I feel NASCAR has to put it's hands on everything now to take away from the driving and the mechanics...the Chase and the segments for example. Let it be about the racing as it use to be...

    I think I'm on the line of totality. Don't really matter anyways as I'll be working that day. Would be nice if it's my building as my boss said he'd give us a few minutes to experience it, but if I'm stuck in the wife's building I wouldn't have the time to see it.

    Not sure what changed or if he got permission but the maintenance guy at least put his big American flag back up, seen it when I came home and gave it a salute and a Oh Hell Yeah . I haven't seen the 2 kitty's that come to my patio for food the past few days though.
    Wife is healing good. Driving around now. Still has another month to go before getting Dr permission to return to work. However I'm bringing work home that's easy enough for her to do so she has something to do during the days.
    Can't wait for spring to feel like spring though, it is cold out today. Will probably lose some of my perennials that popped up early to the hard frost the next few nights.

    This is terrible.  They are letting one resident who complained set the rules and the heck with all the other residents.  People give love to animals and feed them and somehow that's wrong?!  Not allowing Christmas Lights.  It sounds like a dictatorship.  I'm sorry to hear about this Spike.

    So irritating and sad. I have a lot of apartment drama myself at my apartment. It's the worse. Especially when you lose good neighbors out of it.

    I took the trash out yesterday and seen the maintenance guy took everything down, his bird feeders, yard decorations, shepherd hooks, heck even his patio table umbrella. His was the nicest looking flower bed space with all the little light house and other lake inspired decorations along with his feeders.
    Our next door neighbor told us today she found a place and is moving next weekend . I don't blame her as this is BS. I'm sure she won't be the only one breaking their lease and moving out.

    So I ended up keeping one of the feeders and 2 of the shepherd hooks at home. We'll see what happens next week if they want to push the issue. I think instead of punishing everyone they should just let that one whiney baby  out of her lease so she can go cry somewhere else. If I ever run into her on the property I'm going to give her a peice of my mind.
    Another thing in the note is "only minimal decorations allowed. No multi colored lights allowed only single colored solar lights," so basically no more putting Christmas lights up . Come Christmas time this is going to be a depressing looking complex, there's at least one person in every building that puts up lights and other Christmas decorations outside.

    It took 2 days but I got the flower bed and patio cleaned up and took down my bird feeders. Moron lawn crew blew a lot of leaves and debris into the patio, filled 2 garbage bags. I also ran into the veteran, actually a lady, I thought it was a guy that lived in that apartment. Chatted with her a few minutes about the new rules. She said she's going to keep feeding the cats, birds and keep the flag up in the window and if they push back she's going to bring up the maintenance issues she's been trying to get fixed the past few months.

    I'd never even heard that anyone thought picnic was a racist word. It appears that Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner Robert McKinzie made the claim in 2019 before it was subsequently debunked by professors of language and African-American history. Yet another case of someone jumping to conclusions without all the facts. At least Cadbury's won't have have to change the name of their chocolate bar on the this side of the Atlantic!

    So yesterday got this ridiculous note on our door, everyone else in the complex did too, I figured we'd get something this week because the complex next door had a fire over the weekend. But imo this goes to far. There's a few people that feed the stray cats and some that put bird feeders up. So in the note it said unless those people stop they will be charged a pet fee. It doesn't end there either. Grille's are now basically banned, they didn't go so far as to say that but you have to have the grill 10 feet from any structure now instead of on your patio. In the building I live in that basically means grilling in the middle of the parking lot. Here's the best one... All curtains have to be white, any other color and you will get a lease violation fine. That's funny because I went through the last lease we signed in February and there's not a  thing about only having white curtains. This note was the last straw for our next door neighbor, she told us last night that she's breaking her lease and moving out as soon as she finds another place to live as I'm sure several others are also contemplating it. I'm hoping my wife heals up fast and gets back to work so we can get the heck out of here too as this is the last straw for me too.
