Mornin' all, over center day! Got a few days of not so bad winter, then it gets warm for the weekend. I'll take that for sure.

J, that's not a bad first weekend. Sounds like the car was running right on. And you're racing, we're not, plus you got to go to the payout window.

Floyd, do you do mail order off of that grill?

Mike, most of all, I'm pulling for my numbers in the pool. I like Manning too, but I also like Cam Newton. Both are good teams, hopefully it's a good clean game.

1258, nothing new on the wagon? CA trip and snow keeping you out of the garage?

Fern, I hope you get the engine soon. I wish I could go to Michael's and Anthony's race in March, but I don't think I'll be ready, car or wallet.

You all have a great day!

Good Morning to all, hope your up and had breakfast. Till this morning I never though of having the grill going for breakfast , but I think I'm going to try that soon (was reading Floyd's post during breakfast) Sounds like most are getting pass last weeks snow storm and moving on.

Chuck , thanks for those words....

You all have a Great Day!! Stay warm....

Chuck, my dad has the wagon at his place to work on. There's a couple little things that he needs he said, but otherwise almost done. He's only 5 minutes from me but the little one keeps me busy especially when the wife works. My parents are heading down to Florida this weekend and said they are going to stop at one or two RV dealerships on the way. That's all that is new.

Mornin' all! Getting on through the week.

J, the one bracket finals my buddy and I were at, both of us being budget guys, sleeping in tents or trailers at the track, we cooked on the grill for every meal. Nothing like kielbasa on a stick for breakfast.

1258, I can imagine you have your hands full with home life. What part of Florida your folks heading to? My mom is with my aunt and uncle in St Augustine, and dad is leaving Sunday to meet them. They'll stay all of February.

You all have a great day!

hey Good Morning Guy's.. Over the hump and nearing the end... LOL Weather looking good for another race this weekend at the newly named Tucson Dragway... First of seven Summit Series points races....

Chuck, That sounds like what I do, just no tent... Mega dully rear seating area folds down , only room for one!!!Also was on a Dude ranch 10 years ago and had the best pancakes make on and open fire.....

Oh well . Have a Great day......

Chuck that's the way I did it a few years ago when I qualified for bracket finals. Pitch a tent. Got mighty cold though haha.

Chuck they have a place down in Jupiter Florida. During the winter is when they mainly go down but they basically gutted the whole place and tile is being delivered this weekend.

Mornin Y'all!
I haven't done any tenting since qwe had our dune buggy back in the late 60's and early 70's. My idea of roughing it today is if I have to leave the hotel and walk across the street to find a bar.
Y'all have a gooden!

Mornin' all! TGIF! After a normal January day today, looks like we hit a stretch of 40s into 50s. I'll gladly take them.

The budget is a little better nowadays, and can afford to stay in a hotel, though I'm splitting it with one of my buddies. I've slept in the car too, by necessity, when rain flooded my tent. Came back from going to eat, and my air mattress was floating inside the tent. And the old Cavalier wagon, flipped the back seat down, unlatched the hatch, and made it my camper. We still fire up the grill, though, and can toss chicken and burgers on with the dogs and kielbasa. That's good eatin'!

J, good luck this weekend.

1258, I've been cold in the tent too. The one year, I knew when another of my buddies was getting cold. I'd hear his fuel pump turn on, then he'd fire up the car to run the heat for a bit. That end of Florida looks neat. I've never gone further south than St Augustine on the Atlantic side.

Ice cream time! You all have a great weekend!

Good morning to all... TGIF... weather seems good all around... Had a big breakfast and ready for the challenges of the day... Hope everyone is ready for the day too...

Chuck , thanks I'll do my best, car is ugly but deadly .... hope not to over think this time ... LOL Lucky Wishbone when I win....

Everyone have a Great Weekend !!!!

Hey folks,ran in to say howdy,hope to check in in the morning have a good night..........

Good Morning everyone!

Helped a good friend with his Super Gas/Super Steet Nova at Fontana on Saturday, had a great time. 20 S/S cars, didn't get a count on the Pro Gas (Super Gas) cars but the turn out was very good. First race of the 2016 season so it was great to see all the guys/ girls again. Nice weather during the day but it turned ugly Saturday night, then really ugly on Sunday. High winds at our house early Monday morning, reminded me of hurricane wind when I lived in Florida in the early 60's. It'll take me a good part of the day to clean up the mess.

Seems that it's rained just about every Saturday over the past month or so but the forecast for next weekend looks good. Going to try and run my hot rod at Barona next Saturday.

Have a great week everyone!

Bob's

Mornin Y'all!
It rained all day at my house yesterday. Poor Buddy got all wet but his legs had been crossed so long he had to go out. I cheated. I took an umbrella. Today looks to be dry and cold. Maybe I can get my laundry finished.
Y'all have a gooden.

Morning all. The snow is melting. Thank goodness. I finally got my exhaust to the house for the wagon. Got it for a steal. A $450 stainless steel setup for $150. Anyways hope everyone else is doing well.

Mornin' all! Man what a gorgeous weekend to end January! It was sunny and around 50 on Saturday, had lunch with my dad, sister, and her kids, and then a surprise 40th birthday dinner with a bunch of racers for a good friend. Sunday was even nicer, low 60s, so I rolled the car out of the trailer and cruised a little. Best thing is, all the freeze plugs are where they belong, in the block!

Bob, that first raceday is always a good time, seeing everyone again. I hope your cleanup isn't too much work.

Floyd, you all still need the rain, right? I hope it's helping out.

1258, that's an awesome deal on the exhaust.

You all have a great day!

My old skiing friend was on his way to 7 springs Sun and sent ne a pic out the windshield and it looked like they still had 2ft of snow....70 here yesterday and today---needs to get cold as I am tired of washing cars, trucks , motorhomes, etc. Mama was good yesterday, had a big grin on for the "tater man"

Mornin' all! Sunshine to start the day, always good to see and feel.

Fern, the mountains up there around 7 Springs got around 30 inches, so 2 feet sounds about right as it melts. Glad to here your wife was having a good day and smiling. Ol' Mike does bring that out of people!

You all have a great day!

The day has started out rough as my daughter had to put her little dog to sleep. She had lived here for a long time and was my Jacks best friend. If Jack were alive it would have been his 18th birthday so his friend is joining him----not fun for us old guys losing our best friends like this. Hope everyone has a good day---wake up MIke

Aww Fern that's so sad. I have two dogs. One is 5, the other going to be 4. At least I think that's their age. Either way my daughter is 15 months and I'm dreading the day I have to explain to her why they aren't around.

Hey guys hope everyone is doing good,Fern I love to here about mom smiling makes my day,I miss my mom so much where I looked after her for several yrs.and would call her all through the day to check on her while I was driving the log truck,sometimes I get the feeling I need to call her it makes me sad,but makes me know she knowed how much I loved her,so maybe them days mom smiles are the smiles my mom is sharing for the Tater man.............

Chuck thanks for the complaiment I love to see folks happy sad just ain't fun but it's part of life but I do try my best to smile as much as possible,and driving my log truck makes me happy,got my old automatic top kick going again today putting back in the log hauling line up,I can drive the clutch but is easier on my prost.leg to drive the auto..............

Well looks as if everybodies doing good and so sorry about your daughters pup Fern,I know Mannies little pup Tipsey is sure some big time personality and it would be tough to lose her.........
I'm always a day late on good deal 1258 glad you got that, sounds good in two ways,lol,ya'll take care,and sweet tea and mater sammiches for dinner tomorrow to celebrate old Phil not seeing his shadow and spring getting here quicker,spring means drag racing and mater sammiches and sweet tea,woooohoooooo.............

Good Morning Everyone.

Hope that you are warm and have a great day. Really cold here last night, in the high 20's but no rain in the future forecast. Some snow in the mountains a few miles east of here, for small towns like Julian the snow brings them business. I've only seem snow down at this level once in the past 53 years, it lasted on the ground for about 30 minutes.

We watched the National news last night and consider ourselves lucky that we don't have the type of weather that the rest of the Country is facing. It reminds me of living in Saint Paul Minnesota then on the farm south of Reading Pennsylvania. Hard life, don't think I could do that again.

Stay warm, drive slow and have a great day everyone.

Bob
