The winged Sprint car series at the track that I am live streaming has 24 cars on hand and as or right this moment, we have 9,383 simultaneous viewers. It's far from a viewership record (my biggest event was July 20th, 2014 when Tony Stewart was there) but it is third best of the season. Sign in to see full entry.

A better start to the day. It's race day, and by now I suspect you all know what that means. Other than a quick run with the dogs, I will be tied up with making sure everything is falling into place. I have a 'producer-in-training' so that I can spend my Saturdays here doing what I want to do.... Sign in to see full entry.

As long as I am in the 'confession' mode, after running the dogs I sat down to begin the short story that Pat and I discussed in the post below this one. Working title in my files is 'Down and Out in Suburbia.' It won't be that when it goes into the book. LATE NOTE: I surprised when I checked the... Sign in to see full entry.
Da Yooper Weather Forecast and Some Real Personal Stuff
It looks like we might recover from yesterday's return of frigid weather. The high yesterday was a whopping 57 with a healthy breeze coming off Superior. Today is predicted to be in the upper 70's. I'll take it. My friend had to head home this morning to get back to her life, but hopefully she is... Sign in to see full entry.

A Short Trip To The River This Morning
I probably should put this over in my photo section, but I'll post it here anyway. I never get tired of walking along the Tahquamenon River, so I took my friend and my dogs along the river again. As we crossed a sandy area of the river bank, I began to see a lot of freshly dug holes. It didn't take... Sign in to see full entry.
This is a race write-up I did for last Saturday night. With paper editions getting smaller and smaller, I have a word count limit of 618 words. If I remember, this one had 617. You have to be careful with your words to make word count. Hemingway would be proud! Sign in to see full entry.
We've had a cold front move through the area, breaking up the warmth that had been overhead for a week or so. It was 42 again last night and currently, it is 55 headed to 64. A pleasant 25 mph wind is coming in off Mama Superior, making it jacket wearing weather. I got a lot of stuff done yesterday... Sign in to see full entry.

When I first woke up this morning, it was sunny and warming up from the over night low of 49. Slowly the morning sun has been obscured by a creeping mass of clouds. I took a call and when I ended that call, my cell tells me that we are under a severe thunderstorm alert. I love a good thunderstorm,... Sign in to see full entry.

We are enjoying a series of nice days here in God's Country with at least ten more days of temps in the mid to upper 70's. The dogs are always ready to go swimming in the river. Well, Buster swims in the river, the other two stand in shallow waters and wonder why Buster is so stupid. I'll try to get... Sign in to see full entry.

I had posted last night that I was going to be early. Didn't happen. I was in my recliner, causally watching something on the television, when it occurred to me that I might have done something stupid (yeah, wouldn't that be unusual?) the last time that I did some work on 'The Darkness.' I went to... Sign in to see full entry.
