    I am driving to Amarillo tomorrow and had planned to stop in Turpin, OK to visit relatives on the way. Is there a safe route from Turpin to Amarillo that won't put us in the way of those fighting the fires? I will go to OKC and take I-40 to Amarillo if it isn't advisable to drop in from the north.

    Same here, 80 to 18. It was remarkable how rapidly it went from 60 to 25 last evening, about 3 hours

    Ebay has been a good source for restoring my Granddad's old stuff but the forums at The Garage Journal were really helpful with the more obscure stuff. They have a classified section and specialized forums for just about any brand you might have. https://www.garagejournal.com/

    I have some sort of hearing/cognitive issue that doesn't allow me to understand the lyrics the first few times I hear a song unless it is sung like a church hymn or somesuch. This was troubling before the internet because not all albums had a lyric sheet. I would look at sheet music at the music store to get shit figured out. Once I see the lyrics they are stuck in my head and I can hear the lyrics correctly. "Sinkhole" by DBT became much more meaningful after I did a lyric search. I want it played at my funeral.

    This is the second time you have made me close my office door and get myself composed. You are a hell of a writer. Your daughter was a remarkable young woman.

    Remember, this is the organization that let Beltran walk over a $1M difference. Not per year but over the life of the contract. I'm still not sold on our GM but it looks like ownership has deeper pockets than ever before.

    Bobby Witt Jr signs with the Royals long term. He has opt outs after 7 but I am gobsmacked. Better than I thought this FO would do. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39464757/sources-bobby-witt-jr-agrees-11-year-2888m-deal-royals

    A racist POS or several RPOSs tore down a statue of Jackie Robinson outside a little league baseball complex in Wichita. It was found, beyond repair, yesterday. https://www.kmuw.org/news/2024-01-30/league-42s-jackie-robinson-statue-found-destroyed A go-fund me has been organized to get it replaced and help fund the local non-profit that runs the league. I think it would be awesome if the efforts of these shitstains would backfire and serve as a springboard for even more racial harmony. https://www.gofundme.com/f/replace-our-stolen-jackie-robinson-statue

    Seems as though it was fucked, just like we all thought. In a release sent out by IMSA late Monday, the error was explained: Due to an officiating error in race control, IMSA inadvertently announced and subsequently displayed the white flag with under three minutes remaining in the race. At the end of the lap, the race-leading No. 7 GTP car then received the checkered flag with 1 minute, 35.277 seconds still remaining, ending the race short of the planned 24 hours by effectively one lap. Based on Article 49 of the 2024 IMSA Sporting Regulations and Standard Supplementary Regulations, should the checkered flag be inadvertently or otherwise displayed before the leading car completes the scheduled number of laps or before the prescribed time has been completed, the race is nevertheless deemed ended when the flag is displayed. https://www.autoweek.com/racing/more-racing/a46575517/inadvertent-checkered-flag-ends-rolex-24-early/

    I think both cars were sandbagging a little before the caution but I don’t think either was overtaking the other without a mistake.

    That was weird. TV said 2 to go and checkers!! within 30 seconds. I’m a Penske fan so I’m pleased but somebody needs to explain that shit.

    We have the Grizzly in the back of our shop. We mainly use it for making shipping boxes out of plywood but it gets some personal use by employees after hours. It does a nice job.

    I suppose the hitchhiking germs from the bed of your S-10 is just a bonus, right?

    An interesting sidenote: Spirit came into existence when Boeing Military was pulled out of Wichita.

    Good luck, Bruin. I’m sending all the mojo I can spare your way.

    I'm not a polished woodworker with lots of equipment but I am involved with a machine shop and equipment for metal working. Always get the next size bigger if you have the floor space and $$$ to do so.

    County opened N/S road last night but it has drifted shut already. -2 and 25 mph winds. Doesn’t compare to @Burt but it’s about as bad as it ever gets here.

    Yeah, but didn't you hear? There are 3 1/2 million people affected by this alert! 3 1/2 MILLION!!
