Spike

At least it starts with Darlington and not one of the more boring 1.5 milers so the racing should be exciting. What will be interesting is there will be no practice sessions or qualifying, first laps run will be racing laps.

Racing is returning May 17th https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2020/04/30/nascar-return-darlington-raceway-cup-series/ . Hopefully this works out well so we can see some more racing this year.

Can they get in a virtual fist fight after the race or throw a virtual helmet?....just joking

Here's a thought....as far as dealing with life's stress, etc. , this will help you cope:
 
It is impossible to feel fear, anger or anxiety while completely relaxed, quiet and composed. Develop a Psychic Umbrella, a Quiet Room....aka, Hazzard County!    

You can find the tutorial here.

Planted lettuce and carrots in pots on the patio yesterday. Said on the back of the seed pack they should be ready to eat mid June. 

Matt Kenseth is coming out of retirement for a second time, this time to drive the #42 CGR Chevy https://www.yahoo.com/news/matt-kenseth-back-nascar-larson-153727129.html . Wow who'd of thunk Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch would be teammates again 15 years later.
 

I get a kick out of Clint Bowyer, he is so funny, the comments he makes while virtual racing are hilarious. Sunday he was leading and blew his motor  .

Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough....season 2
-- After getting tricked by Rosco into crossing the state line the Dukes boys stumble across Cale Yarborough and his mechanic testing a new turbocharger in a white 1969 Dodge Charger. Cale trusts them right away after finding out his friend Skeeter was an old friend of Jesse's. They get Cooter to help Cale with a turbocharger part but the Jethro brothers put bugs in both Chargers because they're trying to steal the turbo because, like Cale, they want to win the Illinois 500. Because of the bugs every time the Dukes tried something their plans "didn't work worth a pitcher of spit." (Waylon). After discovering and destroying the bugs the Dukes painted Cale's car like a General Lee and added a third General. With all the Generals running around Waylon said "Luke's plan was to confuse the enemy and he did a pretty fair job of confusing me." In the end they threw the turbo into the real General to jump over the law and later Cale put it in his car to win at Illinois (a trip all 4 Dukes took). The Jethro brothers finished last. 
-- We get to see The Jump again...the big creek jump we see in every opening song. This time Cale was in the back seat.
-- Speaking of opening songs this ep has the scene with Enos holding playing cards and saying "Go Fish" with that big grin. I also loved his line in this ep "Roadblock number two's as good as buttermilk" lol...poor Boss was upset because he was roadblock 3 and not 1.
-- Seeing 3 Generals going down the road together might have been the favorite all-time scene for General Lee fans. Back then it seemed like every county in America had at least 3 folks who built their own GL. To this day it is still the most famous car in the world. 

My wife said something similar too when I told her about it when I got home Sunday. My wife also said I was way too nice about it. But with this coronavirus thing going on I'll take what I can get $$$. 

I seen a shirt at Walmart that morning that said something like "I used to be a people person till I met you" or something like that . I thought about going back to Walmart and buying that shirt and wearing it when I mow her lawn next time hahaha. 
Apparently she felt guilty as she called yesterday and apologized. 

Yes that is James, probably one of his old head shots that actors have done to send out for roles.

Some people aren't happy no matter what you do. Spike, you need to get a shirt that says "Quit complaining and put a Dukes DVD in." I had a great day today. I'm building more trails for my dirt bike. Retirement is sweet!

Though I felt like telling her good luck finding someone else to mow her lawn and trim her hedges for $20.
 
  I would've told her where to put her $20, her yard and what to do, once she got it all up in there!

Which is good because if Deputy Hoss wasn't on the job Hobie would build a still around here and probably get us all in trouble with the revenuers.

I never had a cell phone till I was forced to get one for this one delivery job I had 20 years ago. They come in handy in an emergency though whether it be a vehicle accident or break down. If anything get one of those cheap prepaid plan flip phone ones. My dad has one of those with TracFone and has a year's worth of minutes or whatever. 

I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet, Ohio's governor might not let any group functions happen this year.

For about 30 seconds yesterday evening it looked like a snow globe outside, the biggest fattest flakes fell from the sky and the sun was out behind the clouds so it really made it look pretty for that really short time. 
However tomorrow the forecast calls for up to 3 inches of snow, hope the meteorologists are wrong about that. Have lawns to mow Saturday and I'd rather not have to Jerry rig a snow shovel on the front of the mower  .

Well I'll never order from Bob Evans again for a holiday meal, think I'm done eating anything from their restaurants. Finally got the meal 3 hours after it was supposed to be ready. To top it off only got half the meal so I ate Arby's instead and let my dad and wife eat the Bob Evans meal. Bob Evans Facebook and Twitter are still getting blown up right now  . I went back first thing this morning and got the rest of the meal since they didn't even bother calling me last night and still hadn't refunded the full price to my account. The manager today said she's got a lot of apologies to call in for the screw ups the crew made yesterday.

Never say never. I never thought we would have snow in June but about 5 or 6 years ago it did.

Weather took a swing back to winter and looks like it will be this way till next weekend. Unfortunately there's some good chances for frost next week and yesterday I cleaned up the patio and got the leaves out of the pots so now I got to figure out a way to cover the plants that have come up already overnight next week. Finished my seed starting yesterday as well. Gonna try corn again, have a bunch of tomato's and a couple of cucumbers. Just got to figure out where I'm gonna plant them at my dad's garden.

ROFL....If it helps, have her sign up for the HazzardNet. That way every time you're watching an episode she can log in and yell at me. That way we're all happy. You're happy because you're watching Dukes. I'm happy because I helped you watch Dukes. She's happy because she gets to blow off steam to the guy that started all the trouble.
