I had heard that there would be IRL testing at Kentucky Speedway last night. Steve, whom I’ve been working with the last few months, emailed the track to confirm that Ryan Briscoe would be shaking down Penske’s third entry for Indy from 5-10 as a side gig from his Penske ALMS duties.
On a [...]

One of Laura’s co-workers had this sent to her:

I’m pretty fond of the Big Boy photoshop job.

While I worked in the garage this afternoon, and Laura worked in the back yard, Lantern, our now 11-month old mutt pup we adopted in December, elected to slay the vicious water hose snake (of the cheap, easily kinked species) that has laid coiled behind the garage since being replaced by better hoses last fall.

I’ve referenced on a couple sites and forums that I live in Monroe, OH, home of “Big Butter Jesus.” That would be the garish statue at a megachurch alongside I-75 immortalized in the Heywood Banks song heard on Bob & Tom and elsewhere.

Laura’s cousin Dan got married last weekend. His Dad (my uncle-in-law, as it were) rented a Shelby GT-H Mustang for the occasion.

Sounds like Cagle’s next hit single will practically write itself with this twist straight out of the debut episode of “My Name Is Earl.”
“That ain’t my baby, and neither are you anymore…”
Hello Crab Man, indeed!

It’s hard to believe, but it’s Laura and I’s first anniversary already!
