Yeah, especially if your brain is running a little slow

I have actually stay out of them until I make the rounds of the chapters.. If the chapters are hopping like they are this morning I Dont deal with them

NASCAR is at Michigan. Those cup cars are flying around that track in under 36 seconds (or 200+ MPH). Something tells me that the track record for cup qualifying will be shattered by 8 MPH.

They expected phenomenal speeds with the new surface...just like at Pocono last week...

It is rare to repave speedways...and two of them back to back...WOW!

Good afternoon guys, one more bus run in about 10 & I'm done, its nice and warm up here too....:)

I know that. But, laps in the mid to upper 35 seconds... I wasn't expecting that at all. :D

Evening Indiana and all of our IN friends!!!

Yeah Joe...I think everyone is a little surprised by the speeds...although I've watched IRL cars fly and I mean FLY around the banked Michigan speedway...well above 220's...amazing to watch for sure!

Well another work week is behind us...

I've got a pretty busy weekend though...stuff to do around the house!

I've got to change the rear brakes on the Excursion, rotate the tires and change the oil...I'll do that tomorrow morning before it gets too hot around here!

Then I've got some tasks to do inside the air conditioned house!

Have a great night/weekend everyone!

Joe.

Thats one thing about being away all week huh Joe, you dont get anything done around the house.....

I am so far behind it isn't even funny!

Thankfully we're under drought conditions...so the grass is all brown and not growing and doesn't need mowing!...LOL

This week I cut the grass at home then I cut 3 more campsites down here, oh well

Yeah...we're under an open burning ban too...they are talking about completely banning all fireworks too since it is so dry!

Tonight on the news they showed a pretty good patch of grass next to the interstate that started on fire from a discarded cigarette...everything is tinder dry!!!

Why do morons have to throe cigs out the window....

I never understood that either...but I follow people all the time and see them come flying out the window onto the road...why that isn't littering in their mind is beyond me...

Good evening Indiana Ford fans! Have a terrific Saturday and a special Fathers Day.

Howdy Rick!!!

I dont get it Joe, some ppl have no respect for the environment...

Hi Joe! Whats happening?

Hey Rick, same to you

Is that why we drive big eco friendly trucks?}>

I'm not talkin about that, I'm talkin about littering & live cig butts, ya we all drive trucks so what, I cant pull my 5er with a prius, come on now get real

Good Saturday morning Indiana :)

Good morning Joe and Wag :)

MORNING Indiana and all of our IN friends!

I hope everyone is doing well today!

It's going to be HOT today...94° they say!!!

I'll be headed out to start the work on the Ex before it gets too hot out there...

Thankfully the garage faces west and the sun doesn't hit that part of the house until after 3pm...so I've got plenty of time to get done what I need to do...well unless I run into problems...but we won't talk about that...hehe...

After that I'll get the upstairs 2 bathrooms put back together...but I'l have to install 3 J-boxes for the new lights since there is NO J-box behind any of the lights...the old lights were all enclosed in a metal box...and the electrician's used that as the J-box...oh well...I'll get it done!

Have a great day everyone...I'll check in later.

Joe.

Yeah...we were talking about how a road side fire started here in Indiana yesterday due to someone flicking a cigarette out the window as they were driving on the interstate.

We are almost 7" of rain BEHIND normal this year already and we haven't even hit our hottest and driest months of the year yet!

Everything is so dry any spark at all will set off a blaze!

I'm not sure why many smokers feel the road is their ashtray.

How many times have you been in a parking lot and noticed a pile of butts and ashes laying in the parking lot from someone emptying their ashtray on the ground?...it is more common than you think...I mean you use an ash tray in your vehicle and then just dump the butts in a parking lot on the ground?

I smoke cigars...when I'm done I don't just throw it in my yard...I extinguish it and put it in the trash...

Good morning Indiana...Happy Weekend!!!

Good morning guys, another great day in store, enjoy your Saturday, I will....:)

Well...

Brakes = DONE
Tires = ROTATED and pressure adjusted
Oil = CHANGED

On to the next items on my list...it was a productive morning!

Man, the cup qualifying was the most epic I've ever watched. The pole speed... 203 MPH ! Amazing ! :-jammin }>

Joe, I will agree with you and Gerry on the disgusting habit that some have along with the improper disposal. I didn't mean to hijack the thread and give Gerry a PMS moment. Have a great Fathers Day guys.

WOW...what a day...I'm just now sitting down at the puter...

I got a LOT done but I still haven't had ONE DRINK YET!!!...

I'm going to have to change that right quick!!!...LOL

I posted up in the Excursion forum my rear brake job with pictures and a tutorial...figured maybe that will help someone out...who knows...

Talk to everyone tomorrow I guess!

Joe.

Good evening guys, what a great hot day we had up here, life is good.....Ger

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING Indiana ! HAPPY FATHERS DAY ALL :)

Good morning All!:)

Happy Fathers Day Indiana!!!

Good morning Indiana and all of our IN friends!

I hope all the dad's out there enjoy their day!

I've got a big london broil to grill later...so that means we'll be getting some rain...ha-ha...we actually NEED a LOT of rain as we're almost 7" BEHIND on our rain this year and it is very dry around here...we did get some small drops of attempted rain yesterday afternoon that petered out very quickly...

I did get all my Excursion maintenance items taken care of yesterday...so that was good!

I also got the new bathroom lights installed and most of the accessories installed...I ran into a few problems that slowed me down yesterday...so I have a couple of items to take care of today.

I also have to fabricate a table support for our RV...there is a flip up table in the bunk area of the camper...well for the life of us we cannot find it...all it is is a piece of 3/4" conduit pipe crushed on the ends and bent at a 45° angle...thankfully a friend of mine has the same camper...so he gave me the dimensions to make it up to...I'll head out into the garage in a little bit and cut the pipe and then clamp it in the vise to crush the ends and then bend away...I called Jayco but they were having a hard time understanding what I needed...so I went to Home Depot and got a 5' piece of conduit for $3...I only need 18" of it...I'll bend it up and then head to the camper to make sure it fits since we'll be leaving on our trip in a few weeks...

Have a great day everyone.

Joe.

Morning Dennis and Ken!

Hope you guys have a great day today!

Joe.

Good morning everyone & Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there....:)

I took my Mother to a cenetaph grand opening near here, interlocking bricks were laid to raise $ & my Dads name is engraved on 2 of them, he was a WW2 Vet, its great to see, Ger

I do that all the time Joe, if I need something I make it, glad it worked out

THANKS Gerry...you have a great day as well buddy!

That's cool on the bricks...THANKS certainly go to your dad for his service!!!...how did your mom like to see the bricks in his honor?

I can't even imagine how much Jayco would have wanted for the pipe anyway...!!!

My Mother was very happy I drove her there, and so was I, we both were happy & sadenned to see the paving stones there, such a great memorial...

It is a sad but proud moment to be sure...to think about the person makes us happy...but to think about why we are seeing their name makes us miss them and sad...mixed emotions for sure...

Regardless...you should be very proud of your dad for what he served for!...we all owe a great debt to those that have served and are serving today...!!!
