First rules of Italian racing... what is behind you does not matter. 😆
Apparently, Dale Earnhardt has never raced in Italy. Otherwise, the Italians would nixed that rule 🙃
 
Mrs. X and daughter #1 just left a little while ago for Univ of Delaware.
Frat party tonight? :joyful:

Nope, the Italians wouldn't force restrictor plates on the field, just so he could keep up.

Or would Dale's restrictor plate come off and Dale give em a shellacking?

I'd put a well built American car up against all those cars sounding like bees buzzing around.
 
Looks like @N. Mango is about to get a hurricane. Hang onto something bro!

The Hawaiian Islands aren't typically prone to hurricanes, so hopefully this one will follow suit and steer away as well.
They are ssying the surf is going to be pretty bad as the swells come in. And it does look like it's heading right for the island chain. It would have to make a very sharp turn to not hit it directly at this point.

I have seen some of the flooding parts of the islands get in a few of the shows I watch. Raging white water engulfing roads and people's property. I can't imagine what a hurricane is going to do in those areas.
 
Woke up at 2am. Walked outside to smoke a cig and the wind was gusting a little bit. Then all of a sudden it started blowing what I am guessing to be 70+mph gusts that reminded me of the straight line winds we had last year. The trees behind my place started flailing around like one of those used car lot blow up Gumby figures. I heard a few cracks like the trees were getting ready to come down, so back inside I went. Scary morning, and I am really surprised I still have power.

Just mother nature telling you not to go outside without your pants on. :p
 
It starts storming out of the blue. Thundering, lightning, big fat rain, wind, etc. I go to look at the radar and notice if I zoom out farther the blue dot covers the storm. "So why all the fuss little guy" I said.

What the hell is going on over there??? I'm pretty sure I saw an X-files where a guy could summon storms and such but seriously, Why so many storms with lightning but no rain to put the damned flames out??? That's gotta be some sort of weather record or something!!!
 
Thunderstorm just came though and started several fires. Here we go again.
Rock Creek, Jenkens Creek,Wolf Creek, Adams Creek. This is the top of Mann Creek, I have talked about this area several times.
They are evacuating that whole area, and all the hunters are screwed.
I was headed up there Wednesday and taking my sister Grouse hunting.
Not anymore. :( :( :(
