HAPPY BIRTHDAY LES

Well today is fellow blogger Les Fryar's 69th birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY LES. An anonymous person sent me this photo of Les & asked me to use as his birthday photo and I said sounds good to me. Well yesterdays NASCAR race was washed out at Michigan & they will try to run it again today at NOON on ESPN2, however they are calling for more rain today which could force them to move this race to the end of the year. I talked to Scott on Saturday and he said believe it or not he was Christmas shopping and he had already bought several gifts, I told him I don't start Christmas shopping until September. We got some more much needed rain last night, before you know it everybody's grass is going to be green again, last nights storm was no where as bad as last weeks though. Also we also have a new member on the blog, Peggy has joined the madness. Well again HAPPY BIRTHDAY LES. MICKEY
