Can anyone deny that the end of the Nationwide race was absolutely fitting and proper?

I am so glad that Junior said before the race that this would be the last time he drive's the 3 car... and said it again afterwards.

way to go Junior.

and I think this is one time that we need to say thanks to Teresa Earnhardt. She didn't have to let him do that, so thank you Teresa. Doesn't make you any less of a coniving bitch, but that was a cool thing to do. Thanks.

they smell funny....

I am going to share with you all a story.... I was on Facebook when this happened, having a chat with my cousin's wife. Her mother-in-law is Marion, my mother's younger sister. She is 71 I think. My mother is 77. My mother's older sister, Dollie is 86. Ok... so tonight I am watching television and chatting with Teresa on facebook. My mother is in her bedroom chatting on the phone with Dollie. Mom comes out of her bedroom and says.... I am not making this up.... I could write a freakin book... Mom comes into the living room and says, "Dollie is watching the Newlywed Game and one of the men was asked a question about sex and his wife. He said she doesn't like to do something that he likes."
I said, "Why are you telling me this?"
She said, "We don't know what he meant."
"Again, what makes you think I want to have this conversation with you?"
She said, "Whatever it was he likes, and she doesn't like, is a number, but we can't remember the number."

What, on God's green earth, possessed me to say it, but I did.

"69."

She said, "That's it!"

Did she leave it at that? Of course not.

"What does it mean? Dollie asked Marion and she doesn't know, either."

I can't believe I sat there and told my mother what it means. She runs back into her bedroom... apparently Dollie was still on the phone....

I write to Teresa, "You're not going to believe what just happened here."

She writes, "WHAT?????"

and I told her. She writes, "Oh my God... tell me you explained it to her. If you did, you just made my century!"

I write "Yes, Teresa, I told my mother what 69 means..... OH MY GOD!!!!!"

Teresa writes, "What?.... WHAT????"

I write, "I just heard mom say, "I asked Rick. He says it's when two people give each othe roral sex at the same time. He knew exactly what it was as soon as I asked him. He knows everything."

Teresa writes, "Oh my God. You're killing me. Tell me this is really happening?"

Yes. As we speak.

Teresa writes, "Kary (my cousin) wants to know why I'm laughing out loud. I gotta go. THANK YOU... we're gonna be talking about this at work tomorrow!"

Make sure to mention the sponsors, thank the team, hold the pop bottle a certain way, it's a broken record every time. And it's sickening.


Name one driver who doesn't do all of that? The driver that doesn't do that would not have a job. Johnson, for example, is being paid millions of dollars to get his sponsor's name out there. That's his job. And how would you feel if you worked 10 hours a day 7 days a week all season to put winning race cars under the driver, and he not one single time mentions the guys at the shop? You'd be pissed and so would I.

Cale Yarborough, the Allisons, the King, Kulwicki, now those were interviews. They got out of the car, were dirty and sweating, kissed the Winston girl, had a beer, and cussed. Can you tell I'm old school!?

There is no Miss Winston anymore, Al. And if you watch close enough, when Kurt Busch wins, he does indeed have a Miller in Victory Lane. I suspect Kahne has a beer too, although I haven't seen him win anything lately.

The driver's do not get greasy because they are paid to drive the race car. There will never be another Kulwicki, and to be honest, I'm glad. Yeah Tony Stewart may be the next owner/driver to win, but it won't be the same thing because Stewart doesn't work on his race car. So I'm glad there will never be another Kulwicki because he died at the top of his game, and no one should ever take that away from him.

I have no problems disliking Johnson, but what you said is your reasoning, means you hate every driver in Cup today because that's exactly how each one of them would act.

I'd be willing to bet that most people who bitched about Jeff Gordon winning all the time are thinking, 'hey, he wasn't all that bad' now. I really think the 48 team have figured out how to cheat and get away with it and THATS what I hate. I think Chad Knaus is cheaing.

I was hired to shoot photos of two girls before they went to their high school prom. Id never done that before so I didn't really know what to expect. I showed up at the park to discover about 300 other kids were having their photos taken as well.
So there I was, shooting the girls with my $400 camera and this guy comes up to me and says, "Can you give me a hand?" I said sure. He says, "How do you work this?" I look down and he's holding a Canon 1D Mk III.... a $6,000 camera in Canada. I said, "Excuse me?" He said, "O can turn it on, but what the fuck is all this other shit?" I said, "When did you get the camera?" He said, "I borrowed is about 20 minutes ago. I was paid $500 to shoot this thing and if I don't figure this out really quick, I am in deep shit." I said, "No matter what I tell you right now, I'd say you're gonna be in deep shit." He walked away calling me a smart ass. I got paid $40 plus whatever pictures they buy from me. My girls are getting awesome pictures. I bet all his ends up with pictures shot by her mom with a $20 disposable camera.

something rather odd happened today.

As anyone who read the book, or who ever actually listeend to me while Sam was alive knows, Sam loved tea and licorice. So on his birthday, and at exactly 9:05am on June 25, which is the moment he passed away, I always take a cup of tea and a piece of gormet licorice out into the garden and just walk around with him for a few minutes. This morning when I did that I discovered that some time between 9 last night and 9:05 this morning, my first lily of the year opened up.

as for your collection, Al, I'm not sure you'll miss it. I sold almost every hot wheels I had except for the customs and stuff.... I just collect Dodges and AMC now, but I don't miss all the hot wheels at all. And when I started remodeling for the studio I packed up all of the Kyle Petty stuff... now granted I didn't sell it so I know its still here, but I don't really miss having it on display.

I do think that I am going to build a coffee table like yours though. Maybe a little bit bigger. I won't have to put it on the roof of my car. I still have to be able to afford the heavy glass to cover it so that will dictate the actual size. But that will get some of my cars and stuff on display. When I was going to build the big one I started collecting the bits and pieces for it. I didn't get any of the people but I got a lot of the other stuff. So really all I need to buy is the glass and people. I probably won't get to it this summer but maybe a winter job.

My ad runs in tomorrows newspaper. I am not sure how I feel about it. Can I handle it if I get a ton of business? Can I handle it if I don't get any response at all?
time will tell.

Well, my diecast collection is now in Paw Paw, Illinois. No. I didn't move, they are sold for an amount that was so low I'm embarrassed to talk about it. But the money will pay some bills, and maybe fix some rust on my car, and I'll find something else to collect.

Of course the coffee table, the gold cars, the Brookfield haulers, gift cars from friends stay put!

This probably a one-shot deal because of the actual expense. The Truro newspaper held a seminar which I attended last week. In return for attending the seminar, each person was given a 1/4 page ad in the newspaper. The ad is worth $350. The told me today that I need the ad finished and in to them by Thirsday morning if I want it to run on their highest circulation day, which is Saturday. I am not positive of the photo I'll use but I do like this one. Overall, what do you think of the ad, and do you think the photo is decently decent for a black and white ad?

That is a prime example of the stupidity of big business. Nascar is another one. Think about this:

What if Mike Helton made an announcement like this on Saturday night:, "We know time s are tough for everyone so until the economy picks up, we are going to give away all of our unsold seats tomorrow. If you show up at the track (using one certain gate) you will recieve one free ticket. That means a family can get in and sit together, but we will hand a free ticket to each person. You must enter the track immediately uprecieving the ticket and if you leave the track for any reason, you may not go back in. That will stop scalpers. In fact with your ticket you will also recieve a coupon for one free soft drink."

Nascar will become the first sprt to do something to help fans. You know.. "Lets give the fans a hand" and they'll help their own bottom line AND make themselves look good.

Flashpoint was good last night. They just seem to get better every week.

You guys see where General Motors send a memo to everyone employed by GM, their dealerships and everyone else connected with the company? No one is allowed to use the word 'Chevy' anymore. What a bunch of dickheads. Brand identification. Thats like Coca Cola saying "Coke" is no longer in our vocabulary.

and you can bet your sweet ass that nascar now owns the tire/wheel assembly, than the appeal won't matter.... BUT
have you guys ever watched the teams get their air? I have. Stood there for over an hour and watched. in fact, I got them to give me a Jeff Burton tire while I was watching.

The teams arrive at the track with one set of tires already on the car. Years past, they could bring tires they'd purchased at other races but no more. They arrive with the tires that are on the car, just so they can move the car from the trailer into their garage stall. The team then unloads dozens of wheels. Each wheel carries the team logo and car number. In the case of Petty, their rims had 43 and 45 on them because they shared rims. The 24 and 48 teams, did not. They have 24 on Gordons and 48 on Johnsons and they don't share rims unless one gets knocked out of the race and the other needs tires.
So the team has these huge hand carts they stack with rims and they take them to the Goodyear trailer. They tell Goodyear how many tires they want to buy and Goodyear reps mount them. When finished the team come sback and gets their mounted tires.

As I see it:

1: Goodyear reps are idiots for not seeing the bleeder valve.
2: Goodyear reps are too busy to notice there was something wrong with the rims.
3: Goodyear reps saw the valves and didn't give a shit.
4: The team took the tires off the legal rims and mounted them on other rims afterwards.
If the reps are idiots, they need to be replaced
If the reps are too busy, nascar inspectors need to supervise them (they don't currently)
If the reps say them and didn't give a shit, they need to be fired.
If the team re-mounted the tires, they should never race in Cup again.

The other option is that someone in that Goodyear trailer was paid to look the other way, in which case Hoosier or Firestone may be coming back to nascar afterall.
