HAPPY LABOR DAY

Well I want to wish everybody a Happy Labor Day and yes I will be laboring today.  After being off for about the 1st 42 years of my life i have had to work the last 2 years.  Well last nights Nascar race was washed out by the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee and wont be run until Tuesday morning at 11am because the Atlanta area is expecting allot of rain today as well.  This weekend the Nascar Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series will be at Richmond.  It looks like we might get some rain from the remnants of TS Lee on Tuesday & Wednesday.  Well I am off to work.  MICKEY
