KYLE BUSCH WINS AGAIN



Kyle Busch picked up his 8th win of the season yesterday at Watkins Glen holding off Tony Stewart & Marcos Ambrose for the win. It appeared that Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the car to beat but poor pit strategy probably have cost him the race, I know his crew chief is his cousin but I think he has hurt him a couple of time in the past few years with his decisions on pit road. Kyle Busch leads the point standings now by 242 over Carl Edwards and 244 over Jimmie Johnson, Dale Jr. is now 4th in the standings 269 out. We got a pretty good thunderstorm last night here in Colonial Heights, we had some heavy rain, sharp lightning and some strong winds as well. I think the temperature dropped about 20 degrees after the storm and today it is only suppose to get to 84. Don't forget to checkout the post below of Dusty & Scottie from Crawford County Eagles picture day, they sure look like they mean business. MICKEY

DID YOU KNOW THAT
Snails produce a colorless, sticky discharge that forms a protective carpet under them as they travel along. The discharge is so effective that they can crawl along the edge of a razor without cutting themselves.

Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself. The better you feel, the more value you can create for your world.

Learn from your mistakes, but don't hound yourself relentlessly with them. Build for the future, but don't withhold from yourself the joys that you can live right now.

Delight in life's pleasures without sinking into meaningless excess. Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you as it resonates with the beauty that is within you.

Find genuine satisfaction in productive, meaningful effort. Give the best that you have, and discover the real, lasting treasures you receive from doing so.

Provide yourself with the energy, commitment and determination to do much. And regularly give yourself some peaceful, relaxing time to do nothing.

Treat yourself with kindness, courtesy, respect and the highest of expectations. For life is as good as you choose to make it.

Good Guys finish 1 and 2 @ the Glen. Storms our way were the same but you could add hail to the mix.

Hail covered our deck

i'm not playing you in the wii olympics because i don't have the game and you'll be much better than me!

jacob hold the records for the 8 minute and 10 minute free run on the wii fit and i told him more than likely those records will not fall! i didn't tell him because the rest of us are not going to play that particular game! he ran it twice yesterday and slept very well sunday night!!!

I agree Al - I think Jacob's record is set in stone and well deserved. Maybe you can get to try and beat his own record tonight!!

Melanie said...
