Thanks, big race in Phoenix

Hey there! Hope your Easter was nice. Mine was nice, stayed home with my family. :) We were actually spared a lot of snow over the winter, so have been enjoying the good life here...lol! Hope you got your nice warm day you were hoping for!! Take care!

Hey Joan! Hope you have a wonderful Easter! :)

Awww work. Can't do without it as neither one of us is wealthy or have won the lottery. It has been really busy this week and then today it was like I barely had enough to do. Spent part of my day updating the techs computers. Of course basketball was on wherever there was a tv. After work I slapped some brake pads on the car. Gotta a rotational squeak now when I stop so thinking something is on the rotor. Hoping it will go away as the pads seed in. Always something. On the good side, the car does stop!! Will be meeting with the Toyota rep tomorrow morning so I know the first part of my day will be good.
Guess you are getting hyped on Bristol. I can't say the same. Sold my tickets and not regretting it a bit. Going to Indy with some Planet people here. I am actually more excited about that then Nascar. It is just hard to get excited about it anymore. Glad Kevin is doing well, but looking forward to seeing Robby in other racing events.
Have a great weekend!! Hope you get out to get some sun!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Have faith Joan! Have faith!

Hey Joan!!! Nobody said it would be easy being a Robby fan. We just grin and bear it. Guess that is why I am excited to see Robby doing other things this year. Maybe he will find a better niche or we will find we really like the variety. As for Nascar, I still have Harvick and the other Childress boys to cheer for every week. I think it may make it exciting to know Robby has to qualify or go home. Make the team work harder if you know what I mean.
Hope you have a great week, and all is well with you health wise! Take care!

I tried to watch stupid Cali race but it put me to sleep, especially when JJ started stinking up the show. I listened to Robby piss and moan and bitch and gripe on the scanner, which made me wonder how long this crew chief will stay. If JJ runs away with the title again, NASCAR might as well fold their tents and go home. NO ONE will care about it anymore. (I heard later that Robby blew an engine with 20 laps to go....I wondered why he was 20 laps down when I woke up.)

Good news you don't have to replace a lot or run into a lot of expenses. It is raining here too, but it is better than snow anyday. Hope you continue to get the good news!! Have a great Tues.

Not sure what kind of car you have, but it sounds like the squealing noise was from the power steering system not having enough fluid in it. You would have noticed it more so on hard left or right turns. Imagine being at the end of your soda and the vacuum you make while trying to get that last bit out of the cup. Sometimes a plastic reservoir will crack (where the fluid goes) at the seam in the extreme hot/cold, but more than likely it was a seal in the gear itself. If you need a rack (the part your steering wheel connects to) it can be very costly. You may also have to get an alignment with the rack replacement. Unless you see obvious damage to your car, I would rule out it being hit. Have you been over any really large bumps or potholes in this weather? The heavy stress of movement could cause damage to the rack and cause it to leak as well. Curious to hear what it is. I wish you luck!

I got to watch but I missed race chat. Also I was involved in helping a friend with computer lessons so I didn't get to pay as much attention as I wanted to the end of the race. I knew Robby was right up there in the mix toward the end so I was kinda surprised when he ended up 28th. Now if he just avoid the points free-fall like last year! Of course running the full season would help....perhaps some kind sponsor will come to the rescue!

Different Burg than my hometown, but it is like my northern home away from home. Details in a pm. I come here often, so something could be arranged down the road. I had dinner last night with another Planet member who lives 15 minutes from here. I enjoy meeting the people I have friendships with when I can. One day we might work this get together out!!

Hey Joan! I am in PA too this weekend. The sun has been shining since I got here so the stuff around us is melting quite nicely. Good thing too as I hate the stuff. Hang in there as it is only about a month until Spring.
Group of us planning on doing races other than Nascar this year, so if Robby wants to venture out too, we will be there to meet him! Take care and have a great weekend!

Thanks, it was good! I have just starting 'adjusting' the total. ; )

Just got home from work myself. I have had enough of this stuff too! We are expecting 18 to 20 inches by tomorrow afternoon. We have 3" now of the fresh powder on top of the 3 ft we had. Telling us it will be blizzard like conditions tomorrow morning. YIPPEEE!! NOT!
Keep warm and be careful in it!

My trip to Philly was supposed to be in July but an opportunity popped up at the last minute --- literally! on Friday night before leaving Saturday morning. Don't know if I will be back in July or not...will have to wait and see.
No offense, but I really DON'T want to be there now with the weather you're having. Mine is bad enough. We had a 'winter storm' sneak up on us yesterday and dumped 6" to 8" of snow on us and now the temps are dropping (27 degrees now). The lovely folks at the Weather Channel say we could get another storm on Friday. NOT FUN!!!

Greetings Joan!! No jackpot winner here. If I did win Powerball, then so would some other Planeteers as we have been playing the same numbers. Can't have one of us run off into rich-rich land without the others!! Besides, it factory workers can do it, why not us???
Hope all is well your way. Did you get all the files and office cleaning done?

No timetable here Joan. Just touch base when you can. Doesn't seem fair you have to clean someone else's office. Not like it is their home. Unless they own the business, they should be responsible for their own mess.

Hey, lady! Darn - I was in PA week before last (Philly) and the weather wasn't bad then, quite warm in fact. We got our first major snowfall in years yesterday. It snowed all day but didn't really start to accumulate till about 3:30 or 4:00 and snowed all night. We have about 6 or 7 inches, I would guess. I haven't heard the official tally. As per usual, I decided it would be okay to make my usual Friday evening run to Kentucky for my week's supply of Java Monster and lottery tickets and as per usual, that was a BAD idea. I got almost there and the wipers started icing up. That just caused freezing stuff to smear up the windshield till I couldn't see the road and I ended up in a ditch. (No damage except to my pride) Had to get a tow truck to rescue me and take me and the trusty Celica to my destination, but a good friend there took me in for the night. I made it back home this morning as soon as there was enough light to actually see where the road was. This kid is staying IN the rest of the weekend! LOL
