Spring
 
Gonna feel like early spring this week with temps in the 50's

Yeah that was crazy, that was such a once in a billion fluke how it got airborne. It's funny I read on the NASCAR subreddit someone commented every Daytona 500 they've been to a driver named Ryan had flipped, and they apologized to the 2 Ryan's in the race because he was were there lol. 

Yeah he was really motivated since he doesn't have a full time ride. Guess he's got another few starts this season and that's it. He should just go to truck series, he'd probably do better there. 

The flu has hit my work hard the past few weeks. Made it kind of interesting as the boss sent the one coworker home. Other coworkers told me boss has never done that, even during COVID  . We all think it's due to the one coworker recently finding out they have cancer and they're trying to work as much as they can before chemo treatments. 
Hope you feel better today Roger. 
Looking outside this morning I see we got more freezing rain and now it's snowing again. 

What a joke. I turned it off for now, got sick of all the pandering and *** kissing. Was supposed to start early but now they'll be lucky to even beat the incoming rain on the radar. 

Since the thread is titled The last 24 hours that's how long I've gone without eating...29 to be precise. I still can't even look at food without feeling nauseated. I either got food poisoning or the norovirus. Last night was absolutely brutal. Hopefully I will have an appetite for snacks for the big race tomorrow. 

Is it spring yet? Kind of had my fill of all these freezing rain snow freezing rain snow freezing rain snow storms. Took 20 minutes to break into one of the cars Thursday morning because they were both encased in an ice snow ice blob.

Hey, Hey!! Easy on Toyotas!! I'll have you know, I drive a 2006 Toyota Corolla S The " Sport" edition! It can go from 0-60 in 2.3 !!   *

Could be Kyle Busch's year, similar stats to Dale Earnhardt when he won his only Daytona 500. Winless season last year, 20th Daytona 500, RCR team.
I'll be happy as long as it isn't a Toyota though lol.

In the M*A*S*H episode 'Rainbow Bridge', Hawkeye and Trapper are off to Tokyo and get a shopping list that includes a training bra (for Klinger). Father Mulcahy says, "Understandably, there's some gaps in my education. What exactly is a training bra?" Hawkeye replies, "Just like an ordinary one, only it has two little wheels in back." 😀
 

On our way out the door this morning it was -3 degrees F wind-chill/feels like -15 to -20. The stray cats near work made it through, fed them and gave them fresh non frozen water on 1st break. This weekend will feel balmy in the mid 30's.

Watching the IMSA Rolex 24hrs. 

Hello! I figured since I might be drawing fanart more often that it would be a better idea to have one thread/topic than to post it all on it's own every time, and I have a really good piece to start it with.
It's a drawing I did of Bo with a horse. The song "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" kept coming up on Spotify and I got really inspired for some reason, so I drew the song. (except the rifle, I didn't want to render that much metal AND wood) My friend is a horse girl and she said that Bo would have a Chestnut Quarter Horse Mare named Miss Joanne. It's my biggest project ever, with the multiple subjects and more body than just the head. I had a lot of fun with it, adding a bunch of little details that I'm sure most of them won't be found partially due to the bad quality I had to upload it in so it could fit, but I also think the bigger ones won't be understood. I'm not saying you guys are dumb, I'm saying that I probably didn't make it understandable as a reference and made it look more like just a design choice or a coincidence. 
Also, apologies for not posting/commenting anything, I haven't known what to say. The only dukes thing I've done/seen/thought of besides this drawing, is I made a wallpaper and lockscreen for a friend. I swear I haven't forgotten about this forum, and I'm still a fan!

The episodes are also free to stream on Pluto tv. 

If you plan on testing that idea, call Hoss to help you and then post it on You Tube. Take turns on the windshield. 

And forgot to mention last week I sold a house I don't own  . I got a message from the niece of this one lady I mowed a lawn for that passed away over the summer. They left a key with me in case of emergency since they all live a few hours away. The niece managed to sell some items and needed me to open the house so the buyers could get the items. The last couple that showed up also asked about the house that was next door because it had a for sale sign. I was honest and told them it needed a total gut renovation. Then I mentioned the house they were standing in was for sale also. Then I played realtor and took them on a tour of the house. They made an offer to the niece and the family accepted. 

That didn't sound too bad until I remembered that you lot in the US still insist on using Fahrenheit! We only got down to around -8°C (18°F) in our cold snap a week ago, although over in parts of Scotland it was -16°C (3°F). We're now back to a far more reasonable 10°C (50°F) during the day.

Luckily, this SNL sketch explained America's way of doing things: 😀

With drought conditions like that there's no way you can prevent wildfires being driven by near hurricane force winds. Praying for all those affected. 
We had a drought here back in summer were we went almost a whole month without rain and the rain we did get during that period was barely enough to wet the dirt. Thank God we didn't have any fires then. The grass here was so dry it was like matchsticks on the ground. I didn't mow lawns for a month. More than made up for the rain deficit in December though, in fact set a new rainfall record for December. 
We're about to have 72+ hours of temps below 20 degrees starting Sunday, Tuesday night/Wednesday morning is supposed to be -15 for a low possibly setting a new record. Officials are warning people just because it will be that cold not to go ice fishing because the temperature swings we had, yesterday was 40, and will have will make the ice unsafe especially by next weekend when temps will be in the mid 30's again. 

Dale Earnhardt Jr's JR Motorsports is going cup racing. They will be entering the #40 Chevy in the Daytona 500 with Justin Allgaier driving. 
Helio Castroneves is also entering the Daytona 500 in the Project 91 Chevy. 
Mike Wallace on the other hand will not be entering the Daytona 500. In fact they banned him from competing in any NASCAR division series. Reasons unknown but few speculate that he ticked off the NASCAR brass and this is their way of getting back.
