    Good pick DC76. I am a big Reddick fan and am pleased he won. Hope he performs well for you the rest of the year. I debated long and hard about making him one of my picks.

    Storage building

    One of our neighbors recently had a double wide manufactured home placed on a small lot within our community. It was quite a spectacle to watch and while there were a lot of senior citizens overseeing the project it was fruitless as their assistance was not required. Fortunately, the people...

    Congratulations Tyler Reddick

    Congratulations to Tyler Reddick for his 2026 Daytona 500 win!! And to 23XI race team as well. They had fast cars and deserved the win. Like every restrictor plate race the white flag lap breeds wrecks and this time was no different. Reddick won by making instant decisions, any of which...

    They had covered seating but it was noisy!! Those ribbed metal roofs bounced the noise back twice as loud. Imagine sitting on a porch with a tin roof in a rain storm than add exhaust sounds reverberating from the roof.

    Johali's Rate the Clash -- Bowman-Grey

    9.0 it was entertaining, aggressive, and provided some tense moments. All in all, a good race. I actually thought the uncertainty of the weather made it much more interesting as drivers were forced to adapt to constantly changing conditions and situations.

    2026 Daytona 500 Countdown

    Stubborn old man never looked at the top photos with initials DW over photo of Michael. The fixation was the one below with caption 1979 wreck where the 88 was cleaning the top of the fence and thought that was the picture being referenced. So much humility and embarrassment. ( Walks away...

    2026 Daytona 500 Countdown

    I am getting a little long in the tooth and my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be at the age of 89 but the driver of the 88 car was Darrell. To the best of my recollection, Mikey never drove a Gatorade sponsored car although he did drive a car sponsored by Hawaiian Punch a couple of years...

    If the year was 1979, it is Darrell Waltrip. Mikey didn't start in the Cup series until the 1980s.

    Fable of the Hedgehog

    Fable of the Hedgehog... It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The Hedgehogs, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions...
