In my mind, and on my screen, The Olympics are still going.

Forty dollars' worth of gas and I get ten gallons.
I went to Walmart today to get groceries because I can't afford to keep paying them $9.95 plus tips to the driver to have them delivered. Anyway, I spoke with a employee there who just came back from a two-week vacation in Texas visiting her daughter. She said gas there is $2 a gallon, and a house the size of hers here costs $120k. Hers is costing her $350k. No wonder people are leaving California in groves.

I washed the Shelby last night in preparation for playing cars in Monterey for Car Week.

Oh Man.... You mean the Olympics are over, I didn't see any of it. Well, we don't have network TV so maybe that was part of it. I read that the opening ceremony was a disgrace.

We harvested our first batch of Carolina Gold Tomatoes !

Your tomatoes look beautiful. I'm jealous.



You can catch up with The Olympics. Clips are online. It started with the Parisians raising the Olympic Flag upside down. Then an Algerian man beat up women in the sport of boxing. That was followed by the Australian BreakDancer. Now boxing and breakdancing are off the list for the next Olympics in Los Angeles. A US gymnast was asked to give her bronze medal back. The Games were capped off with Team USA winning the gold for basketball.

Thanks guys! She's as fast as she is beautiful with the supercharged Coyote under the hood, especially at sea level with the cool air and humidity.

The group I'm going with has a behind the scenes tour lined up for the RM/Sotheby's auction this afternoon. They have FOUR Vectors going across the block. OK eighties guys, who remembers the Vectors???

I vaguely remember the Vector. A supercar I could never afford in my wildest dreams is what I mostly remember. LOL

A lot of variations for "pot roast".

I put a bunch of veggies in a pot. Carrot, celery, onion, garlic, tomatoes. Put the meat on top. Cover. Cook for about 4 hours on low heat. The juices from the meat and veggies steams the meat until it's tender.

No matter how you do it, It usually turns out the same. Chunks of soft, tender meat and veggies. Sticks to your ribs. Even vegetables taste good when you cook it with beef. Or some might say that beef taste good when you cook it with veggies.
