Wow looks like you're going to make it to a million miles way before I do Jay. Sure you're not the Midnight Hauler ? Lol. :)

Watched an old Denzel Washington movie last night, Man on Fire. It is based on actual kidnapping events in Juarez, Mexico. Short dog walk at midnight at -5F, windchill in the -25F range. We got to the end of the driveway. Made a yellow patch in the snow, then went back to the house.

Oh....Mary Ann's (Dawn Wells) legs........................mmmmmmmm. Little known fact. Raquel Welch auditioned for the Mary Ann part but was refused because she didn't have the "girl next door" look.

what's your average miles per year on your taco?
at 20k average it WILL take you 50 years :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Another night falling asleep watchin Gilligan's reruns. Not going to to make it to Midnight again. What say you ?
 
Well it's 11:33 til Midnight so that's close enough for me. No pictures tonight but I can sure as hell tell ya it's raining cats & dogs in North Texas tonight. Lighting, Thunder, and the raindrops smacking down on my roof sounding like gun shots going off. I'll tell ya, life ain't easy being a Texan….
 
Drove down the street today and just noticed my neighbor painted his garage doors green. Not sure what to think about it…..

IMHO. KC did not play strong enough to earn the trophy. More than 10 pts were gimmes and the end of game "holding" call was weak. But the call was enough to seal the game.

Philly's Offensive line constantly pushed the KC defense 2-3 yards off the line of scrimmage.

Oh well. Game is over...... Next year is another to hope for Maimi to generate a season that is better than a split season.

Meanwhile, hockey (fight) season has another 6 months and basketball has another 4 months and baseball will end around December. Wish I had channels to watch MotoGP.................... Watching golf is like watching the grass in my yard grow.

Time to start ordering parts to repair the '81 Honda CX500 to get back into the wind. Dropped the engine to set up for the replacement of the 42 yo played out ignition system.

Well now may be the time to start watching NASCAR my friend. The Daytona 500 kicks off the season and it starts this Sunday. 95% of the races are on local channels FOX Sports and NBC. :cool:
 
Nope. NASCAR has little interest for me. They only make left turns and bash each other.............

I know, someone will say "Rubbin' is Racin'" Rubbin is self-loving.

You sound just like my cousin in Nebraska. Left turn, left turn, left turn. I tell him every Sunday, don't knock it till ya try it." :)
 
Watch a MotoGP race. Then you will see real head to head racing with speeds swinging from 80-210 mph in seconds. Motorcycle lean angles up to 63degrees off vertical, foot peg to foot peg. Battles for all positions from the lead all the way to 22nd. Racers start with the machine and ride the machine without PIT STOPS or tire changes or fuel adds.

It is pure racing.
 
Could "MotoGP" possibly be like Harley-Davidson dirt racers on a dirt track ? My old boss and good friend used to race "dirt Harleys" on very small tracks in Colorado. I don't know anything about the sport but he was pretty darn good. The pictures in his house showed the riders wearing a metal skid-plate they put over their boot to help control their slide into and out of the curves. They litterally put their foot down on the track like a kickstand to keep their balance going 90 miles an hour through the corners.
