Garrett Duke Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 9 hours ago, RogerDuke said: On the happy side, I'm pumped about pro dirt bike racing this year. Another big race tomorrow (Sat) night. They have a new system this year called Supermotocross because they wanted playoffs like every other sport has. You get points for Supercross, which is racing in stadiums. You get points for Motocross, which is racing outdoors. And then they have a 3 race playoff for everybody who has accumulated enough points in both to qualify. I hope Emma Tisdale makes the playoffs! Let 'er rip! You know how they hang a stick in front of a horse to get it to walk? They should fly a drone in front of her with a picture of Jesse on it. Sounds like a great idea Roger!

RogerDuke Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Chiefs beat the Jaguars and the Eagles crushed the Giants yesterday. Watched dirt bikes last night. It's in California so lasted until after 1:00 AM my time. Pretty snow covered. Been snowing all day here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Sounds like a relaxing day for you. Not for the losing football teams tho. It snowed a bit last night. I can't wait for spring! I am done with Winter and snow. I wish I could hibernate. At least until NASCAR season and then just come out for the race. HA. I spent most of the day trying to find a book online for my classes and am now talking to an agent trying to find it. It's so frustrating and stressful. Why does everything have to be so difficult? It'll be OK. Hope you all have a great week. RogerDuke and Hobie Hartkins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted January 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 It's down to 4 teams. The Chiefs will play the Bengals. The Eagles will play the 49ers. The winners of those 2 games go to the Super Bowl. Garrett Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus their kicker use to be a Bear...he should still be a Bear if the Bears weren't dumb and trade him. He's good as Gould!

Spike Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Did some test driving Friday. Drove a Buick Regal tourx. Those are rare and since the wife is getting the new car I figured I got to take the chance to drive one since one showed up at a local dealer for sale. It handled great for it's size. Then we went to another dealership to see what they had and they just got in a 2014 Chevy Impala with the options she wants and without the moon roof and only 5,000 miles. It still had the new car smell too. It sure was nice but after doing some research we decided not to buy it since the 2018-20 model years are Consumer reports best buys since Chevy worked out most of the issues. One main issue was the trunk leak from the brake light area and the fix is a new rubber foam gasket to replace the thin one that was put on at the factory between the brake light housing and body. Unfortunately gm doesn't think it's a recall-able issue even though it effects every single one they made till the put the new gasket on 2018 or 19 models. Dealers charge anywhere from $600-1200 just to do this gasket replacement. RogerDuke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Europe this is the Opel (Vauxhall in the UK) Insignia Country Tourer. The sedans are reasonably popular here.

Well my dad for some reason or another cancelled getting the stent put in his carotid artery this past Tuesday. The surgeons don't want to do the heart surgery without getting the stent put in as the risk of a stroke is too great because his right carotid is over 90% blocked. I don't know why but I wish he'd make his mind up one way or the other about the heart surgery and stop putting the rest of us through the emotional rollercoaster.

RogerDuke Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Sorry about your dad Spike. I tried to do a sad emoji but I'm out of reactions. I got 4 days where I got a lot of dirt bike riding in but that's all over now. Not complaing though. I'm happy I got to ride considering it's Feb.

Spike Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Kids these days I swear...here we are busting a** at work while one of our coworker's called in sick. Turns out he isn't sick at all, he's selling crap on some app called Whatnot or something. One of my other coworkers is live streaming this online sale. Hope the boss sees it too and gives him a good reaming. No wonder this country is in the mess it's in with bums like this.

RogerDuke Posted March 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Just got done puppy-sitting for my brother-in-law for a week. That was stressful. It's only 5 months old but is twice as big as our 2 year old dog and they never got along all week. And the puppy had diarrhea all week...and brought ticks in and barked in the middle of the night and chewed stuff up. Talk about high maintenence. I'm so glad he's gone. Despite all that, I'm kinda missing him. He did have a lovable side. I bet he's glad to be home too. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Today is March 17th, and I live in Ireland, so it won't surprise y'all to know that I went to the St. Patrick's Day parade this afternoon. It probably also won't surprise anyone that it rained on and off for a lot of the day. It obviously wasn't on the scale of places like Dublin, but the kids in the parade seemed to be having a good time despite the weather. After that, we saw a genuine old-fashioned flea circus! Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow so that I can go on the Ferris wheel and antique carousel.

Here's David Attenborough showing a couple of performing fleas. The one we saw is worked with magnets, pulleys and showmanship to feed the kids' imaginations. It looked virtually identical to the one in this video. Hobie Hartkins and Skipper Duke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
