Morning all .............. staying home with the two new puppies today ................. hope you have a wonderful Monday
The picture of the day ................. back in the days before "cookie cutter" race cars and big corporate sponsorships ........... and slipper clutches .............. there was some individuality in the sport ............. and some wall to wall smoke in the quarter ............... Bristol 1966 ............. smokin' action between Connie Kalitta's SOHC Ford powered digger and the 392" Chrysler powered car of Bruce Wheeler ....... the "Wheeler Dealer" ............. different powerplants, different wheelbases, different chassis designs .............. and "Thunder Valley" was home to a lot of this action

Good MOANday MOANing ... Woke up and went to use the rest room. I went to open the door and it wouldn't open. after 1/2 hour of wiggling, jiggling, and lots of other stuff.. I still couldn't get out.!!!! So I said F-it, I broke the handle off and the door opened... only to close again ( I got out though)... here is the kicker... I didn't take a shower, shave, etc and etc
So I call maintenance, and guess what ... they call a guy 40 minutes away, who just woke up out of bed... he said he'll goet to it when he can ... while in the mean time.. no pot no shower no shave no nuthin
Luckily The GF lives a few building s over and got ready for work over there.. only to get into work 1/2 hour late.. had no breakfast neither and now I am looking forward to a 3 hour meeting this am
... and the day JUST started

Zainoed the SS yesterday. Looked at it in the early morning's sunshine and it's covered in lint & dust. I guess the cool dry air made it into a lint magnet. I'll have to force myself (ya right! ) to give a dusting again tonight.
I spend last week in Orlando. It was 70-75 degrees when I woke up every morning and in the mid 80s most afternoons. It was 22 degrees when I left the house this morning. Burrrr! Where's my plane back to Florida? Posts: 532 | From: Westport, MA. | Registered: Apr 2000

Ah, I have fond memories of marching band competition in H.S. We traveled as far north as Abbotsford, B.C., Canada and as far south as Disneyland & Knotts Berry Farm to compete.
The recollection of being out all day, marching in the rain, freezing cold, uphill (both ways) for miles, marching in the sand at the beach (in the summer) and around our hometown at 8 a.m., practicing (and waking everyone up in the process). It was hard work, but it kept us in shape. For such a small band (35 of us the first year), we won many competitions and added more trophies as our numbers grew.

Since my job does not allow me to sit in front of a puter much during the day, I will greet by saying "good evening" and Monday is over. But Tuesday awaits
