  1. For baseball…How do you have Kieschnick ahead of Roger, Swindell, Schiraldi, Calvin Murphy, Melendez, Street…..?
  2. I sat in the original KIT car. Hasselhoff wasn’t on set at the time. I high fived VY at the tailgate before the OSU game. Shook hands with Ima (haven’t washed since). I have a signed poster from ‘84 of the entire roster.
  3. Made plans to go to dinner the other night and my daughter asked if we could go to the mall afterwards. Sure. Why not? Walk off some calories and maybe add them back by getting some ice cream or a cookie for dessert. I had the battery on a Tissot die so I figured I’d take it and get the battery changed. Found a place and as they were changing the battery my wife saw a watch she thought was “cute.” I’ll spare the details but she walked out with this on her wrist: Of course I told her I thought it was an excellent choice. Not one to be outdone I picked up the matching 40mm:
  4. Delicious
  5. Stopped off at another little local joint I frequent. Was just gonna grab a sixer of beers. Ran into this at $191. Grabbed it and am excited about the find. I’ve always wanted to try it.
  6. Gonna go ahead and give it a crack. Readily available.
  7. Since I have gotten the truck I have not noticed a regen taking place. I’ve searched the intertrons and have found varying amounts of info on the subject. Some say that the F250 will do partial regens. Some say they will only do full regens on distances of 20-30 miles on the highway. I don’t even know how much my filter is holding right now and if it even needs a regen. I saw somewhere you could take the truck in to the dealership and have them update your dash to display the filter percentage full but I don’t know if that’s accurate. At the end of the day I don’t wanna be driving along and go into limp mode because the filter is full. Are partial regens a thing? I drove kenworths for a previous employer and it was all or nothing on those things. Driving out to Grand Prairie tonight so I’ll get a regen in I’m sure. But just trying to find out more detail on what is and isn’t needed.
  8. I tried to embed some video I took but Tapa won’t let me. It was a really great experience. I’d do it again. Exiting the parking lot was a beating though. Fort Worth’s finest had the south 35 access roads closed. Which meant I had to drive north and loop back around in to 35 south. But all in all it was an enjoyable experience. Thinking about renting a camper next year and posting up in the infield…..
  9. I enjoyed the experience. The 100 year old vet that sang the National Anthem was awesome. You could hear the pride in that man’s voice. I went in knowing nothing of the sport and left disappointed. Disappointed because as the race wore on I noticed the 45 car was kind of lingering around. He was in a good spot. I thought he was gonna make a push for a top 2 or 3 finish if not winning the damn thing outright. And then with less than 30 laps to go he got spun out by some limp dick who apparently took driving lessons at the Anne Frank School for the Blind. The fact that he was sitting fourth, got clipped, and finished 23rd was insane to me. All because some driver couldn’t handle his shit. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the number of cars that came into the pit that looked like they were done (broken axle, body damaged beyond repair, etc) but the crew would get it all back together and the car would leave the pit looking like nothing happened. The facilities at the track itself reminded me of a high school football game. A lot of basic food choices. No real fan interactivity. Feels like some modernization is due.
  10. Here’s the next question I have…..how strict are they on the 14x14x14 cooler rule? I’ve found a few that are close but may exceed the height limit by a few inches. I don’t want to lug a cooler around so I am specifically looking at backpack coolers. Here’s the one I am looking at purchasing. https://www.academy.com/p/igloo-marine-30-can-backpack Any recommendations are appreciate.
  11. Nvm Anybody have WT101 8year?
  12. The last 2 posts have me amped up about going. Apparently the tickets we got are pit passes. Don’t know what that means. I know where the pit is so I assume that gives us access. Really looking forward to it. Here’s my question though….Can you park at Bass Pro and catch a ride with some buddies coming up from ATX to the track? I’m just trying to find a place to meet up with these guys and carpool in. Preferably somewhere I won’t get towed.
