Its ever-changing!!!! I raced dirt stock cars (the only thing stock was the bodies) for years. The rules kept changing every year getting faster and faster and more and more expensive until the only thing stock was the firewall and frame. By the time I quit It wasnt nothing to have 20K in your car and 10K in a engine..In a STREET STOCK running for $200 to win. Youd have to finish in the top 3 just to cover the fuel you burned. Out of 150 racers I knew back then only 3 or 4 of them still racing and about 10 have kids racing. But they are pretty wealthy people. The rest got priced out over the years. We just couldnt pay to keep up and there is no fun in that. Have a 75 Camaro my hotrod from High School in the early 90s 383 stroker fast car back then lost one street race in high school against a big block Chevelle. There were no Turbos, Superchargers or even fuel injection. hell the only people that used nitrous was at the strip. Still have the car I'll pass it down to my granddaughter/daughter (Im raising) but it would be left at the stripe against today's street racers. Its a money and technology game for the wealthy and that puts me out. But its fun to watch especially the street racing and no prep stuff on TV

We lost our son 4 years ago while his girlfriend was pregnant with her. We havent seen that ----- since the signing of the adoption papers when she was a baby. She's happy healthy and a beautiful 4 year old that brings more joy to us than I can put in words!

People suck! I think everyone should have to do a small stint in a customer service type job so they know what serving people is like. I've been out four times since we reopened in July. I haven't seen any rude people yet, everyone seems to be a great mood and happy to be allowed out again. Was the sushi good? We had Chinese at a place that is new to us. If it moved I ate it!



North African? Do they ever make spicy veggies in a Tanine oven?



Kinda hoping the fourth wave should it happen would be over in the new year.

The sushi is always good;it's authentic Japanese owned by Japanese, none of the horseshit California hippie rolls and such nonsense. They even got an award from some Japanese(from Japan) Restaurant Association. https://goshipasorobles.com/

It feels like a fall day here. I had a jacket on this morning!! And made spaghetti last night. The nights are getting colder :(

Gave my outdoor girls a shot ot Regalia and Venerate this morning, and fertilized them. I only have 3 outdoor plants and 2 of them are looking good...I predict "about a pound". It's all Black Lime Bubba.

Shoulder is killing me and I have 2 weeks to go before my next injections. I'm gonna try and find a good shoulder doctor here and get a 2nd opinion, and maybe I can find a good shoulder surgeon closer. The other one is 100 miles away.



How is your powdery mildew doing? I was thinking about you when I was mixing up the Regalia this morning.

Look for a sports orthopedic surgeon, I was in an industrial accident in 2004, absolutely wrecked my right shoulder(dislocated, 4 rotators torn); workman's comp wouldn't really cooperate so I used my own ins 5 yrs later. Could barely use my arm and after my sports surgeon got done it's almost as good as new, just can't throw a ball very far.

Bet that’s not cheap! That urchin one looks like art! I love regular old California rolls. Sushi for dinner tomorrow is sounding like a good idea.

It's not too bad, more expensive than a fancy burger but reasonable. Our standard lunch fare will be around $40-50 plus tip (beer not included).
As an old guy I have simple wants, I spend my money on food, scotch and tools( and toys for my dog)

Oh gawd. I ordered sea urchin on my “we will hire you” celebratory dinner 31 years ago. It tasted like the bottom of the fridge. I needed a second Sapporo.

the restaurant was called Fukisushi. I remember it as Fukitushi.

We came out from a night dive on Guam and the top of the reef was covered with them. I stepped on one because there were so many. I have no idea why we didn't put a bunch in a fish bag and sell them to the restaurant's at the hotels. Guam is a low budget destination for Japanese tourists. The "roe" is basically their guts.
