A message for all that are serving and have served in the Armed Forces.

Carl Edwards is showing he is not playing any games and has Jimmie Johson in his sights for the Championship. Maybe that is why Carl can handle those 6 shooters so well.

Just some thoughts on how you can compare Cale Yarborough and Jimmie Johnson.

You just never know when you will need it.

Take the Poll when you have a few minutes. Some very interesting questions to ponder.

Yes, you have to remember to always move forward in your life despite what has happened in the past. The past is the past and there is nothing you can do to change that and we all have to live with our decisions.

Can anyone out there really say they have never made a mistake in their lives? I have made my fair share but I have learned to deal with those and move on with my life. It is too much energy wasted to keep harping on events that have already happened so what is the use of always reminding people of them. I find it funny that the people that are the ones that sit back and judge us for those mistakes are the biggest culprits and are just to blind to see that they to also have faulted in their lives. These types of people are so righteous in their ways and obiviously have nothing better to do in their life then to sit and throw stones. It is totally pathetic and you really have to feel sorry for these people. Did they do something in their past that scared them for life? Did they rob a bank? Did they try and steal their best friends girlfriend/boyfriend? Were they the ones that use to take money out of dad's wallet when he wasn't looking? Did they have to serve time? Were they afraid to admit they had a drinking problem?

We all need to just move on with our lives and truly appreciate the wonderful things we have and how lucky we are to have the ones in our lives that love us the most. I know that I have the most wonderful and amazing woman in the world. Lori has shown me what true love and happiness is all about and that no matter how tough things can get, at the end of the day you both have each other to hold in each others arms. My family is another important part in my life. They are the ones that I can confide in and not worry about saying or doing anything to try and bring hurt or harm upon others. We just need to forgive and forget and move on with our lives.

It is time to Move Forward...

My notes from the Sylvania 300 at Loudon.

Okay, What I thought was going to be a brief business trip to Key West, Florida has now turned into a hurry up and wait state for me. Hmm, perhaps I need to fill in the blanks here...


Well I flew down to Key West this past Saturday afternoon and was suppose to meet one of the submarines down here to conduct some testing. A call comes in that evening saying that the boat had a material issue (in other words, the boat broke) and had to pull into port to get it fixed, no problem. Yes, it was a problem because the boat had to go to Kings Bay, GA to get fixed. Now, since it does take time for a boat to travel up there and back, our team has been stuck here since Saturday and we are really not sure when we will get on the boat.


Now, this is big money for me when I go out to sea and right now I am losing money just sitting here and soaking up the harmful UV light...LOL while keeping my body hydrated with every color drink in the rainbow. Sure, it is a beautiful place to visit but I would not want to live there. If any of you have ever been here and visited, you will know what I am talking about. You just have to try and visit this place one time in your life, walk down DuVal street and watch the sunset at Mallory Square. Trust me people, these folks take their sunsets very serious down here, they even set off a cannon every night before the sunset.


All in all, I have gotten some sightseeing done while renting out a scooter (easier to get around and cheaper) and did my souvenir shopping for my family at Ron Jon's. Heck, I didn't even know they had a Ron Jon's in Key West. The only ones I knew of were in Long Beach Island, NJ and in Cocoa Beach, FL. I have to get out more often!


Well my friends, if all goes well I will be out to sea in the next couple of days. I was going to say that I did get to watch the race this Sunday but I am not going to brag too much about that one. As usual, it was the typical road course race with the exception of a few nasty crashes and some really close near misses. As George Carlin said, why do they call it a near miss? Shouldn't it be called a near hit?


Sure, Kyle Busch won again, there is a real shocker and Tony Stewart once again played second fiddle to his teammate. Do you think Tony had anything for Kyle or do you think Tony laid back to run blocker?


The young guy that I have been watching and talking about had yet another good finish at Watkins Glen and that is AJ Allmendinger taking 11th on the day and hey, guess what else, that brings the #84 team into the Top 35 in points so this week AJ will not have to worry about qualifying on time! Way to go AJ!!! Heck, the kid is racing his heart out cause he knows his job is on the line but I am taking bets that he will be with this team next year.


Sorry for not writing my Streak to the Finish column this week but it wasn't really a streak to the finish, Kyle won it hands down, AGAIN!!!


Till next time folks. I will write and let you know when I am back from sea. That is if I ever get out there...LOL

My comments about the race.

Do you think Duno was a bit upset with Danica over this incident?

Next up is Ryan Newman to change the flag.

You have to check this forum out. Wonderful group of people.

The Ride To Work Program is a great way to get you and your co-workers and friends to show their support if you have a motorcycle, scooter or even a bicycle. Please read more about it in my blog.

Just my comments and observations from the race. What did you think of it?

The gas prices are hurting all of us. How is it effecting your NASCAR plans?
