"Good Morning Drr" 11,000 strong and growing,stop in a say hello.
planter + 50 lb propane tank = plus 1
Floyd = minus 1

Was carrying a propane tank from the garage to the patio and tripped in a planter. ******* over tea kettle and sent the tank spinning like a top. Screwed up my shoulder and turned me all black and blue. Been a week and a half now and the bruises are going away and getting range of motion back.
The older we get the longer it takes to heal.

Y'll have a gooden and I'll be more careful now.

Didn't think of that

Dam Floyd, I go away for a couple of days and you go out and crash. Get well soon. I was at the VA and got a cortizone shot in my neck so I can see the guy in the other lane this weekend. Thank heaven for the VA! Got a ton to do to get ready for Darlington. Every one stay safe, you hear me Floyd?

Howdy all. Careful out there, Floyd. I hope that didn't hamper your beef cooking times. Big Grin

Fern, good luck. Hope you have a blast and come home with some Ws. I need to clean up my garage and sell stuff too. I don't know if I'll have it done for the swap meet this month, but going to shoot for fall, if I don't unload piece by piece.

Nice day here today, mid 60s and sunny. Racing season is getting closer here.

Good afternoon to all you guys, had a couple days in the 80s now back to high 60s lots of racing going around me. What national event in division seven doubleheader in Phoenix. Fuel around here I’ve seen from $3.65 to $3.99 for regular and $3.89 to $4.19 for Diesel. Next week Chris West coast bracket race to start. But with a $500 entry buybacks from $100 to $140 I’m passing . I just have not enough seat time to join in with the heavy hits coming.

Floyd You gotta be more careful not to hurt yourself you’re not getting any younger. Wow Fern that swap meet was good for you . I seem to never sell off all I take ! Chuck hope you are thawing out and getting the car ready to race.

My next race is mid April, team race 3 and 4. Should be good weather!

You all have a great weekend! Please make my shake chocolate and my burger a double cheeseburger with bacon and cheese! Haha Relaxing

Darlington was good even if I did lose 3rd round. Got back here and diesel had gone from$4.05 to $4.54 in 2-3 days. But if I ride I pay. Going to Myrtle Beach in a couple of days for a week 250mi each way--got to pay. To keep from having heart failure I no longer look at the price in the grocery store, if I want it I get it and what ever the total is at the exit I just pay. Go home and eat. Stay safe and look at the good in our country, so far no one is bombing us.

Yeah, Fern. We went from 4.83 to 5.69 in 10 days.

Barry,
Watch it go up more today. Biden did it and the oil companies will take advantage. Diesel at my favorite station went to 6.09.
Yesterday i just said screw it. I'm losing my ass in the stock market, can't afford diesel so I HMMMM went to the grocery and got rib eys steaks and corned beef. I might be broke but I won't quit eating.

I'll do this Floyd, Don't look at the price. If I want to ride I'll have to buy fuel, if I want to eat I'll have to buy food. No matter the price just pay and ride and eat.

Morning Floyd, guys.
Definitely slow the riding a little. I. The last fuel crunch we raced but it did slow us down. Things are wayyyyyy different now.
We need to open up fuel here. Biden has fuel bills for pumping on his desk right now not signed. Wtf is he waiting for. We can get fuel from others but we cannot get it from our own ground? Something wrong wit this picture. Oh wait. They can profit from foreign oil but not here?

Car fuel gauge on 3/4 this morning, decided to stop, might lessen the blow if I gas up there instead of waiting till its empty. Gassed up last Friday at $4.04, today $5.04. 3.7 gallons, $19.00.

I got diesel 2 weeks ago for 4.49 gal with my Chevron card. Yesterday it was 6.19 at the same station.

That's my thinking as well. Takes the sting out of waiting til empty.
