Raincar

Well all things were not perfect in Daytona yesterday but...... The rain was a gift and gave us much better racing than we have seen in many a year. Seeing how happy JR was after winning was great.
I think it was a validation he needed since winning any race had eluded him for some time.

Well things will be interesting in Ukraine for some time. It does show the power of people and how gov'ts that continue to suppress their people these days will continue to feel pressure to listen to their demands. Much of this would not be possible without social media. Fascinating to see how different aspects of social media play a role in government upheaval.

So I replaced a window Saturday and learned that I have the caulking skills of a five year old. No HGTV show for me.

Planted some flowers where I buried Summer. Going to plant more when the weather takes the next notch to warmer weather. Going to put a bird bath in Summer's Garden as well.

Spring forward in two weeks. We need to be on this time schedule all year long.

So work is NOT going to pay us for the snow day last week. Even though I am a salaried employee I still am not getting paid. What a load of crap that is. FU.

Peace out amigos.

This band rocks. Heard them on WQFS one of the local college radio stations. They play a great mix of music. Check them out online.

How did the jury NOT convict Michael Dunn of murder in the Florida "loud music" case?

Ever eat Pho?

Sleep study coming soon.

Roadtrip this weekend. Some painting as well.

Pretty interesting biography.

The cats are acting weird since Summer died and they are also freaked by snow and ice.

Going to close to 70 by Friday. Robins are around.

The new season of House of Cards has started and it kicks ass. Great writing.

Think I'll take a nap before The Walking Dead, also very good.

Snow is almost gone and some schools are on a delay tomorrow. WTF.

Daytona 500 next weekend.

Snowwwww my Ggggggoooooooooooooooood

They are saying we are going to get 6 - 10 inches of snow in Greensboro. Snow starting around noon time. Should be interesting to see how well this area handles that amount of snow. If we get the 10 inches we will be crippled for a couple days.

Rechargeable flashlights, Coleman lantern, camera batteries all check.

Ready for the storm, check.

People forget how good a guitar player Gary Richrath is.

Goodbye dear Summer

My dear sweet Summer passed away during the day yesterday. She was not feeling good when I went to work yesterday and she passed during the day. On Sunday I groomed her and took her for the longest walk she had been on for some time.

Summer was kind and sweet to everyone, even cats. Most of all she was kind to me. She was what a rescue dog should be.

She was loved and gave love.

You are missed old girl.

How it all ended

This is such a fabulous video. I love the old man climbing the ladder while smoking the pipe. Odd how watching London in this video it seems like it is still the 50's. To think it is just shy of five years after they arrived  in America. How they and the world changed in those ensuing five years.

They were the first albums I bought as a teenager.

Ken did you see the Ed Sullivan show live?

No sleep

Well I guess it is time  I go to a sleep study place for sleep apnea. I keep on waking up feeling like I can't breath. Frightening.

What an odd winter. Warm weather, freezing cold weather and lots of rain. Gonna be 61 today.

Work very busy.

Not much going on. No money, lots of bills.  What is the next thing to cut out of the budget.

Maybe I should by a cheap vehicle and sell the truck.

So I thought I had three weeks vacation this year. Nope, I do not get the third week until next year.

Had a cold last week and a nasty cough. My ribs are killing me.

Life is grand.
