A tick bite? I thought we were the only place to have the damned things!

Hi Kathie -Did you check out Path's pg. and Loudon blog ? Great! I kidded her that after 3 hugs she & Robby will be going steady. What's your take on the 2 file restarts, at Louden they kind of caused that big one. I'm not a big fan of multi car wrecks. Hope RG does well at Daytona, he needs to climb up in the standings. Joan

Hey lady, how's things? Check out my page. I posted a little blog about the Loudon weekend!

Hi Kathie - I just printed a photo of Robby at Louden waving to the crowd at driver
introductions. I've never seen him looking so grim. No smile , very tight lipped. I know he had no sponsor on the car and he also has lost his gut! His Menards uniform is actually hanging on him. I wonder what's going on. Joan

I read on NASCAR.com he signed an affidavit to the effect that he supports NASCARS drug program and does not want to be endangered by any driver on drugs (this is in the Mayfield case). However, it doesn't say he is against Mayfield, just that several drivers signed affidavits to the effect that they don't want to be in danger on the track. I did not actually read the affidavits - just the news that Robby had submitted one. Hope NH is good to Robby this weekend. Mayfield insists he does not take drugs - and that the tests were false positives. I personally think someone set hhim up. Joan

I don't think he will get rid of his crew chief, they really had a good plan. He should have followed Tony in, but they throught by stretching a couple laps, fuel mileage was in the back of their minds. The crash at the end with Jeff Burton, was just the icing on the cake. Joan

Yeah the strategy just didn't work out - we know he can win, just lady luck kicks him in the ass! Checked unofficial standings - he seems to have maintained 34th, by some miracle. Joan

Robby was so upset when in 2nd he got caught by the caution and had to go back. Then crashing on the last lap, he must have been devestated. He went from possible checkers to wreckers, I know he feels like sh-- today. I do too, I was near tears as I made spinach salad for dinner. Joan

Thanks for the well wishes - I will take the meds and see if they help. Also have to see a gastro guy, but can't get an appointment very quickly. Hope Robby kicks butt this weekend, I left a couple of blogs on his page here on the planet (told him not to run out of gas LOL!) - Joan

HI Kathie - What a bummer about Baja - by the way HAPPY ANNIVERSARY - hope you had a great time. My health issues have been my main thing lately, and am trying to wade through tests, appointments, etc. besides trying to work each day. One by one they rule out this or that, but now it's just become so frustrating. You don't have this or that - OK what is going on - no one seems to know, I'm getting really fed up with
"specialists" who misdiagnose thigs, and I go back to square one. Oh well, hope Robby wins in CA this weekend. The Planet and Robby keep me going. Love all of you out there - Joan

Hi Kathie - If he doesn't crash in final practice or something else - He starts 13th (hope that is a good number for him). Hope they have good weather the race, we are still having rain and unstable weather - it was not good at Pocono either. Joan

Hi Kathie = I didn't find out Robby had won the Baja 500 until yesterday. There was nothing mentioned at Pocono, and I missed Dave Despain because I watched the Tony Awards. Today I checked out TOG's pg. to leave a blog for him, and saw a discussion & photo "Can I sign it too" - posted today - check it out, if you haven't seen it already. Joan

Hello - Hope RG does well at Baja - looks like qualifying will be a wash-away. It's raining. Robby will have to start back of the pack again. Hope the sun is shining on him down in Mexico. Have a nice weekend. Joan

Then I will continue to THINK you well! LOL!! Have a great day today.

THINKING... THINKING.... trying... is it working???

hee hee Drove thru Fredericksburg last Thurs and Tues. Never understood why the powers that be have never made improvements to the Rt. 17 connection to I-95. Maybe some sort of bypass situation like they did in Warrenton from 17 to 29 would work.
I will keep you in my thoughts on your knee. Got to be a bummer to have beautiful weather and not be able to "play" in it!

I knew it was too good to be true - Robby had a 181 pt. lead over the last place, but NASCAR has fined him 100 pts as of post inspection and fined his crew chief - plus a $50,000 fine. They just can't have Robby getting ahead in NASCAR in front of all their favorites. This sucks. Joan

Thanks for the well wishes. I helped a friend pack up her mothers house in FL this weekend so mine was all work. Did try to get some sun and pool time in, but not a whole lot. How was your weekend! How is the knee doing?

Well it was not pretty, but I thought a 3rd place would bring him up in the points. I just checked the standings he is still 34th. I'll have to check with Mario to find out why he was not up furhter than that. Joan
