Hi Joan: Sorry to hear that about the pup. Yes they are both ours we have Odie'A who will turn 5 next month, (Female.) and Attikis who just turned 2 a couple weeks ago. (Male.)
They both have the same Dad but different mom's.

The surgery that I knew from the way I felt wasn't going to happen as they, (Doctors.) said what they seen in the MRI wasn't a big deal until I guess it finally got caught up in the gear work of the knee, and popped like an elastic band. Then after that they turned around and told me what I all ready knew from the pain that I had arthritis in the knee, and know they need to see if I will be in need of a new knee Joy-Joy. :)
Thank you for posting the video our friend, and will stay in touch thank you.

Here is a video of what happened to Shane.

Have surgery scheduled for next month so should catch up on all Nascar happenings.
They do this to Clint yet they do nothing to Shrub....... ever notice he try to push probation drivers around like he is king chit, I would really like to see Shrub race in the old IROC series where it all came down to the driver and not how much $$$$ your owner is willing to spend on you.
Hope you are doing great our friend. Will talk soon.

Week has been alright. A good friend of mine passed away last Friday. Funeral was today, but it was a good one. I know that sounds odd, but it was a good celebration of life. Lots of laughter with the tears.
I had the race on but only towards the end. Just didn't do a thing for me.
Bet the garage had to order a tire pressure sensor. They aren't real expensive or hard to replace. Sometimes they loose communication with the ECU. (computer) Oh and where I work, Ford is a 4 letter f word. Not a fan here. Have a great week!

Always happy to help! As for Nascar, I am wondering what they will change to try to bring back the fans for next year!?!?

The light could mean just what it says, one of the tires has less pressure than what is recommended. This can occur if there is a difference in temperature. Cold weather to a hot day or reverse. Make sure to check the pressure in your spare if it is a full size one and has a sensor in it. Many people forget the spare. If it is not the actual pressure, then it can be a sensor failure.
I don't believe and I won't believe that Richard Childress is a cheater!! Nascar is boring me. Obviously I am not the only one. DId you see the amount of people at Dover?
Have a great week!

Congratulations on the new car! I have been out of town which is why I have not posted to you for awhile. Hope you have a great week!!

Thanks, I love taking pictures, so I have a lot. I'm really not sure how many races he will be racing next year, other than it's not a full schedule. Bummer!

Yeah it will just come down to the dr's stop being so anal. Will never be the same I know that I can live with it now just don't want the pain guess I'm just a big baby "LOL" Yeah been kinda getting away from Nascar since Robby is only driving here and there, No I missed it am going to have to take time out and try to watch wonder if Daddy is telling jr. forget about Nascar you want to drive the truck :) hope you are good. Take care and will try to stay in touch our friend.

Who knows? It is a done deal now and in the record books. No need to waste time wondering what could have been.

The race was just plain boring until the last hour or so. Just no luck but bad for Robby. Really hoped he would make it to the end. If it had ended on the last lap, instead of the GWC, he would have won it. Had to laugh when the tv showed him walking away from his car in the background. Don't think that was very safe, but it was Robby's way I am sure. Pissed there was no post race interview.
Oh well, the rest of the ending was good. Papis almost had Said. Can't complain when a race puts me on the edge of my seat. Too many races are not entertaining anymore. And it was good. No fights or big wrecks needed to keep us involved in it either. Just some down to the wire racing.
Hope you have a great week!

Watching the Montreal race now with the Planet. Hope Robby has a great racing day.

Greetings Joan! I hear ya on the traffic. I live about an hour and 1/2 from DC. I don't mind driving into the city for hockey games, etc. in the evening or weekends, but if I have to go there during the day on a weekday, I take the train. It is really cheap and a nice ride overall.
I hope Kevin can win the championship too. I have always loved the RCR boys since Earnhardt in the mid 80's. Kyle doesn't bother me so much. He's been nice to me when I have met him and I love it that he is winning now he is not with Hendrick. I did NOT think it was funny what Brad said during the driver introductions at Bristol. Kid needs to grow up just like Lagono.
Hope you have a great week!!

Joan thanks for the thoughts for my friend. She is doing ok after her first round of this series of chemo. She is depressed as it seems she won't get to go to any races this year. She's hoping to get better so she can join the gang next year at the races. We're going to get together in the next month or so to plan our trips. We don't just do Nascar, but we do try to plan them out so they don't conflict w/ anything. A few of us were going to try to do Philly this year, but my friend's cancer put those plans on hold. When we make it there, you could always meet up with us. Don't you live close to Philly?
Never heard if the computer help worked. I hope you get that thing straightened out soon.As for Max, I have seen him before in other photos. He is a cutie! Time will only tell if he follows in Robby's footsteps.
Take care sweetie!!

Hope one of these links will help you: Adobe updates: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/ http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/ I picked the most common adobe products. You should not have to pay for any of this. On the first link there is a patch (second item down). Look at that. For microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx There are a lot of free downloads and fixes on this page. In the upper left corner there is a free upgrade to explorer 8. 7 is sufficient if you have that right now. You can tell what you have by clicking on the help tab on your menu bar. The last item on the drop down menu is about internet explorer. Click that to see the version.
Finally, make sure you have the most recent version of Windows. Click on the tools tab on your menu bar. There will be a tab marked Windows update. Click on that and follow the directions. It is free too.
Good luck!! BTW, have a great weekend too!

I listened to the race on MRN on my way to PA and then watched the end. Didn't really feel like it held my attention. It just doesn't have that 'umphff' to it anymore.
Hope all else is going well. Did you get your computer up and running to your satisfaction? How is work going? Have a great week!!

Stopping by to say hello again to you. I thought about how happy you must have been today with Robby's good qualifying run. Hoping tomorrow's race is a great one.

Just stopped by to send you summer greetings. Hope all is well with you. I am enjoying some time in PA as I type. Hate Poconos, but I do find other places in PA more fun.

Hey Joan!! By the time you are reading this, the weekend is already over so I hope you had a great one. Hot today, but not as hot as in DC. We had the low of 69 degrees this morning in the area at 6am while they were in the high 70's. Aw the beauty of the mountain range.
Was planning a trip to PA, but my friend who has cancer is having a bad weekend and wants to rest. I will go to see her the 31st instead. I will use the free time to get ready for my trip to the Brickyard with some other Planeteers next weekend. Hopefully Robby will actually show up as he has skipped out on us every other race we have went. His loss, as I haven't purchased any of his souvys this year. I know I can online, but I usually prefer to see it in person first.
Take care and keep cool!
