Hi - I am so busy at work, doing Xmas cards along with other chores I won't be posting much - ft a hot chocolate recipe on Robbygordongfan 1st's page makes 1 quart! Have a good week. I will catch up when I can, looking forward to RG winning Dakar. Joan

My Thanksgiving was as good as can be expected. Cooking and cleaning.. WHOOPPEEEE!!! And I get to do it again in a few weeks. Seriously, I enjoy the cooking and having the leftovers. It is just the mess you have to deal with when all is said and done. Here is hoping for a great holiday season.

I hope your first Thanksgiving in your new home is a joyous one! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Will talk to you in December. Love to you and yours. Joan

Hi Kathie - He's just too wreckless, I know he started 28th - but you have to save your equipemnnt. He rolled the truck and lost the engine. He rolled the truck last year. He's a great driver - but he has to learn to save his equipment. Junior was saying that at Hendricks they emphasize that - save your equipemt you have to finish to win, you have to be in one piece to finish. Talk to you soon. Joan

Hi - I just visited RG's home page robbygordon.com and read the Homestead Recap - Robby thanks all of us for our support and says they will have updates on their website during the off season. Of course, I will still watch our site here for updates on Baja and Dakar and keep in touch with all of the wonderful nice people who support Robby. Joan

Hi Kathie - Well he started 14th ended 28th I think He is in the top 35 (34). He went from 22nd to 33rd in a matter of seconds and I have no clue as to what happened whether he had penalty or bad stop. They never tell you - the only time I saw his car was when he was up near Johnson on the restarts with the lap down cars of when he was near a wreck or getting passed by one of the chasers. They didin't mention a lot of the drivers. They did mention Robby once when he was 22nd and said he was trying to stay in the top 35. I feel bad for fans of Blaney, Kahne, and others who never get mentioned or any time on the screen. I am happy that Bowyer won and Johnny Benson finally got a Championship in the trucks (he is such a nice guy)! He had tears in his eyes along with his smile. It was a great truck race. So now we go to Baja and hope Robby has a good run. Will catch up later this week. Joan.

Hi - I just checked the live leaderboard Robby is at present 14th, but there are a lot to go. It began at 3:10 and I will be leaving soon, it's 4:39 here. Hope he gets in a top 20 position, but Jeff Gordon and a couple of other good qualifiers have not got on the track yet. Hope RG does well. Have a good weekend, will touch base on Monday. Joan

Yeah I left a message on his page - stay in the top 35!! He now has a page on our planet - I see we now have over 600 members. I don't have time to print out the pages, but would like to so I have all the names. I also left a message that I hope he wins the 1,000 again, but this time it's going that route over the cliffs with that 400 foot drop, not a place to lose your brakes. Am very busy this week at work, so will talk to you Monday. Have a good weekend HOPE RG has a good weekend too. Joan

Hi Kathie - Sometimes I wonder about Nascar Scene. Once they
posted a complete wrong finish for Robby, and they are supposed to by the authority. Now today I got the Scene from the Texas Race and I quote from the Scene "The Dickies 500 at Texas wan't a good race for Gillett Everham - or its customers. One of those custoemrs is Godeon, who drove a backup car to a 36th place finish - five laps down"??? Have they been reading their own publication??? RG has been getting engines from Penske since over a month ago. He was even quoted that the Penske powerplant was good. By the way, I'm sort of housecleaning my old posts, but I printed them out to be sure to save the comments. Well Sunday was not good, but could have been worse a 28th after two wrecks is some kind of miracle. Maybe the black cloud is getting lighter. Joan

Qualifying in an hour - won't be home in time. Leave work at 5:00 p.m. Have a good weekend, keep all body parts crossed that RG has a good finish this weekend, I wish he could get up in the points. Last year he ended the season 26th - After Walter, he hasn't been able to get back up. That was quite a free fall for those weeks. Talk to you next week. Joan

While eating lunch (at desk) I checked out Robby's home pg. He is going to auction a Jim Beam hood (autographed of course by RG) on ebay to help Operation Homefront. The proceeds or a portion of them go to help our military families. Worthwhile cause. I have no money to offer on ebay for it, but what a nice addition to a NASCAR fan's collection. Joan

Yeah - the Post Office personnel are not trust worthy like they used to be. They ripped off our NASCAR coin off one of the pocket guides and they were taking our papers and reading them. Now I have the Scene sent to my office and I seem to get it regularly, if they read it, I still get it within the week. We never did get our 2008 pocket guide. I am ordering the NASCAR Pet Calendar from Biffle and having that sent to my office also. We have a lot of problems with our PO Box, and I've complained long and loud. We will see what happens in the future. Joan

Dulles is an hour and 15 minutes from here. Back roads of course and then the dreaded Greenway. I am heading down to Warrenton/Culpepper area next Friday night for a game. Heard it is a good team there.so I have my fingers crossed. Hope the moving is going good.

Hi Kathie - it's 9:49 on Thurs. 10/30 right now on the NASCAR.com page there is a jim beam link and video of Robby at the Atlanta race. Cool. Hope you get to see/hear it. Joan

Hi Kathie - Do you get the "NASCAR Scene"? There is a photo on the back page (full page) of Allmendinger & Robby - Robby is hoding his hands demonstrting something and the made up quote is "I've got this big jar of change in my office, and I'm thinking about starting a secotn team ..." I wish I could post this - it's too funny. Joan

I hate insurance companies!! Had MRI scheduled, insurance company gave pre-cert for wrong facility. Have to start at square one. The old PT exercises are helping a little, sent for new batteries for the tens unit, haven't gotten them yet (probably another insurance issue). My Avatar on Hot Pass was troubling some, so I tried to change it - was 1/2 successful - Lil Old Lady from Pasadena has head cut off. Will try to fix it when I have hours to play with the blankey-blank computer! Joan

Natural Bridge 2 hours from me down I81. Wonder how far you are from me now??
I think your sister and I would get along just fine!

Hey Hey - Robby was 19th - missed some of the race, but was so happy to see him finish well. Not thrilled Carl won. Good weekend for those of us in Philly land - Eagles won, Penn State won, Phillies are ahead in World Series BUT ROBBY WAS 19TH!!!. I didn't check points today yet, but am sure he must have gained at least one spot. Hope all is well with you, I need MRI of spine - having knee & back problems, "It's always something". Joan
