West coast weather map. Damn they are getting hammered.
Mean some stuff gets done when you're asleep!?
Interesting those two got picked out, but I don't know what happened in the afternoon.
Bakealite seems to be the king of egging on conflict.
Agree.
There's guys who argue, but its partly because they have personal experience and knowledge specificly to the topic. Tim is one of them. Justin, and Rob, do too. Dwayne of course does but he also ignores the bait. George Jets I think was trying pretend the arguement was civil. LOL
52 degrees here in northeast Arkansas, the temps fall to 43 by 3pm, out in the shop this morning, I will be on my back for some time today tickling Victoria's trans , attaching the mounting bracket for the pro M&M shifter. Not sure how long i will last this morning, weather system is moving cold and wet rain.
Everyone have a great day, and good morning to all my super friends here showing up late.

Be sure to give Hemi lots of hugs and Daddy play time. I'm sure she is saying I'm too old for this puppy stuff.

Been having far more headaches than usual for last week or so. Seemed to be something with ears and sinuses. But also my vision has been a problem. Have had issues on and off ever since I got new glasses last year. I’ve had progressive for years, but for some reason these just st suck. Got different ones, adjusted, etc. Have an appointment in a few weeks…same here.

That’s been part of it too. Just everything at once and don’t know what causes what.

I sure have been. I am trying to help her reinforce the idea that Hemi is the Alpha. We usually get a dust up when I lavish attention on Hemi. She wants to be sure the pup understands I am her property, Hah! The pup can’t stand that I am paying attention to Hemi so she try’s to nose in between us. With results exactly as you would expect. The dust ups are getting less frequent and the intensity is reducing. They are on the edge of getting pecking order sorted out. Pup is getting schooled on her manners by both me and Hemi. They are pack animals and only one way to learn pack rules! Once we get some sort of control and guidance established with the pup I will expose her to a dog park or two. It really helps develop social skills. Hemi as a K9 was lacking in social skills in her early years and I did not react soon enough with exposing her to “tourists”. She became very turfy As a result. I do not want to replicate that mistake with the pup.
Another topic one your well-versed in... whiskey selection.
Best buddy this morning said he bought a bottle of expensive whiskey on a store recommendation, it taste like crap, and no one likes it.
I'm not sure what it is and he couldn't remember.
He likes Crown Black and is open for suggestions when you have time.
Dropping $250-300 is not a problem as long as it's drinkable.
Other than Crown, does he like bourbon, rye, or scotch? Crown is a Canadian blend and has a different flavor profile than most US spirits. Probably the closest would be something like this which happens to be one of my favorites. I picked up this Elijah Craig last night, their latest special release. It is pretty delicious with caramel/brown sugar flavors. Watch the proof on these two. Both are 120+ but smooth enough to "sip" neat.

I took a ride up to the local circle track yesterday afternoon after hearing that it had a substantial water retention issue.
The report I heard was that the water was right up to the bottom of the concrete outer wall.
One or more of the drains must have been partially functional, the only water I saw was in the infield itself.
However, the track ambulance and tow trucks 2 were parked in the infield.
If the water was up to the wall those vehicles were completely submerged at one point.
They did have 2 or 3 USAC Sprint Car events on the books to be announced later.
I think the owner's costs just went up.
You would think the vehicles would haave been moved from the lowest spot on the property beforehand

I would hope it was a maintenance problem for them, keeping drains clear and operational is a round the clock walk threw (inspection) .I took a ride up to the local circle track yesterday afternoon after hearing that it had a substantial water retention issue.

We have two dirt tracks with in 25 miles of each other here, 8 miles from me is the closer one, and when they did a price hike a few years ago it was a battle of two tracks, both said if the people don't like the hikes in price, they said, and I QUOTE = there are more catfisherman around here then race car owners, if this causes a closure, we will plug up drainage and fill it to raise catfish!.
Those days was great, know my next generation is back after a two year vacation from it all.. this was at my sons shop three weeks ago,, the had that Monty stripped of the chassis in 3 days, my sons work very well together, another one of my blessings to see.
Wow, haven't heard that in years, thank you
Funny how that happens...
One wrong move and the wife abandons the pet...
(happened to me with my female dalmatian when I was married... She pissed off the wife and the wife signed off the AKC papers to me...)
