RE: Ready for Christmas!
So, after breakfast I started thinking a bit more positive. Crowe always seems to know of what she speaks. I asked my wife if she had knowledge of D3, and she went and got me some from her stash. Thanks Crowe, I'll be taking one per day until something else happens.

RE: Ready for Christmas!
For me and my wife, it's just not the same anymore. It's almost as if we suddenly woke up in a world full of work to do, and not enough energy to do it. Yes, the usual old-age health issues gets us down, but the realization that poor planning has a lot to do with it doesn't help. Personally, I feel like my 55 year-old brain is trapped in a 80 year-old body. Obviously, a lot or our energy goes towards fighting depression.
I want to go outside and SHOUT:.... WAKE UP WORLD! What's the matter with you. WHat's with all the problems?
I don't like to look in the mirror. So, yesterday we went to Sam's, picked up prescriptions, and bought 4 bouquets of fresh flowers (temporary fix).
Happy Holidays is not easy. It occurred to me that perhaps the reason I loved my job is because I could fly at Mach .82, and "escape".
It's time for my comfort breakfast, some fried-in-bacon pinto beans, a couple of Hatch red chile and pork TAMALES, and 2 fried eggs, with Folgers Classic.....shared with my doctor friend from South America.

RE: Stay off the ice! 3 Trucks and TT go through ice into lake.
That kind of fishing danger is for people who can handle a lot more cold than I. My ice-fishing shack will be on pontoons, and have 4 heaters. The front and rear outboard motors would look like midget snowmobiles.

RE: Wish us luck, pray for the marriage
My first wife died. On my second marriage, I made sure we liked each other, BEFORE we decided to marry (the experiment lasted about 10 years, then we had a small wedding, withot planning). And, before we tried fulltiming we agreed to quit if one of us decided fulltiming was not for us. Now, we both enjoy RVing, but not fulltiming. And, no more hectic trips. I have a couple of man caves, namely a 1,000 sq ft garage and a 40 ft MH (which we share). We also share a stick/brick house. It takes a lot to save a marriage.

RE: Nascar Follies
Too big to fail maybe?
The way I like to look at it is that Kyle Busch will get his first chance at winning his third one. The hardest are the first two.

RE: Traveling Alone
I'm interested in learning how you do it. It makes me feel lonely just to think about it. We use our motorhome because the both of us enjoy doing it together. I'm following this thread, and at some point I'll start doing other research. THANKS

RE: Nascar Follies
Yeah me too, I was NOT a fan of "stock car" racing of any kind. After all, I was very active as a driver and car owner, in the most exciting kind of racing there was/is,....Non-wing Sprint Car racing. And, when I quit doing that, I designed and built a racing track, in order to promote local Sprint Car, Street Stock, and Mod Stock racing (all non-professional). I wanted to make money, NOT go broke. AND, THAT'S when I started becoming a fan of NASCAR. I studied their history, and learned how they had evolved into the most successful USA racing association, making money and paying out the biggest amount of money. It's not the kind of racing I like, but it's their own kind of entertainment. They are stuck with some of the worst track layouts, from the standpoint of knowing which track configuration produces the best racing. To me, it doesn't matter how much longer they can keep making money. I'll enjoy their total production until the end, mine or their's.
GO KYLE BUSCH!

I saw most of the awards ceremony Sunday night. My wife was surfing channels and picked it up. IMO it was very impressive, in a positive way.

RE: All in good humor, not pointed at anybody
The rate at which you can learn increases with time. Therefore, at my age it becomes REALLY important to find the fountain of youth.

RE: Nascar Follies
That's right, we are a country of heroes,...human heroes. In the motorsports, there's a human hero, AND a more-important mechanical hero. In NASCAR, the mechanical hero has a name, Chevrolet and Ford and Toyota.
The "human hero sports" will always get 100 times more free advertising than the motorsports. Most sports reporters don't even think of motorsports as a sport.
Is NASCAR in the Olympics? Is IndyCars? How about in Elementary public schools, which sports are present there?
How many parents push their kids into the motorsports? I didn't.

RE: $600K Of Marijuana Seized in MH Near Joliet, IL
Personally, I'm very serious about how I approach flying and driving. I have studied both, and I'm very good at both. I have my heart, arteries, lungs, kidneys and blood checked twice a year. I just got a new prescription for my eye glasses. In my entire life I've never weighed more than 175 lbs.
I've never made contact with another vehicle while on a public road. I've learned a lot about driving very fast, on racetracks. I also learned a lot about crashing, on racetracks. I've never done recreational drugs. I have mixed feelings about legal marijuana.

RE: Nascar Follies
There's no way that we are going to know exactly what makes the difference in performance between the Truex #19 and the Busch #18. Obviously, the differences are subtle. IMO it's not just one thing. The combination of ingredients, if working towards the positive, can make the difference. It's a science. Anymore, if the best driver does not have the best-performing racecar, you'll have a very difficult time trying to determine which one is the best driver. And, the big racetracks, where they don't let up on the throttle in order to make the turns, make it much harder for the fans. Of course, most of the fans don't know the difference IMO.

RE: Nascar Follies
Yes, to a considerable extent, the amount of money, that a team is able to attract, will influence the performance of the car and driver (sooner or later).

RE: Nascar Follies
Chad Knaus was ahead of the competition, for many years he was one half of a "dream team". A good driver, in order to win, has to be in a racecar that has a mechanical advantage, over the competition. When, the "speed secrets" that Knaus had were no more, Jimmy Johnson no longer was/is a threat. He still can drive a racecar, but in order to win he needs a better/faster car. The number of fast/winning racecars is FAR fewer than winning drivers.

Area 51 is not active all the time. I've been cleared several times to fly over it (at high altitude). But, they never said what was not going on down there.
