Its time to think about fall cleaning and organizing. Does anyone know where I can recycle my old cell phones? I have quite a collection just laying around and would like to get rid of them.
I thought I read somewhere that old cell phones can be dropped off at the Dassel Cokato High School. Is this correct??
It has been awhile since I have written an update on my NASCAR fantasy league. I thought it was time seeing as there are only 10 more races left of the season, and we are now into the Chase to see who will end up THE CHAMPION!
I have learned a great deal about NASCAR. The race off pit road still confuses me. I’m still thinking if they went into pit road in first place, they should be able to return to their spot in the line up once they have changed tires, adjusted air pressure, and loaded up on another few gallons of fuel. But….it doesn’t work that way.
There are a lot of talented race car drivers out there and it really gets things heated up when one driver will spin out another and take over the lead or what I like is a driver coming from farther back in the pack and just pushing his way to the front. That’s good racin’ boys! (My favorite quote is…..‘It’s not rude, it’s racin!’)
Another part of the NASCAR league that I like is I play with some pretty fun people. Nutrageous is on my tail in third place. He’s going to give me a bit of trouble I fear in these last ten races, and JJ Racing isn’t far behind either, she’s in seventh place and I could just as well head DOWN to meet up with her. Forza Motorsports is climbing to the top and currently in 17th place – He’s on his way up slow but steady. Each week we share our race picks with each other and I am faithful about writing down each of our picks and then tracking them on live leader board during the race. I still don’t have all the drivers matched up with their car numbers yet. LOL!!!
As of last week’s race in Richmond (#26) I am still holding on in first place. I have held that spot for the last seven weeks. I am very anxious to see where I end up by the end of the season. I will do another update at the end of the race season with my final standing in the league. If you want something fun to do next year, find a NASCAR fantasy league to join. It’s a crazy fun time!
If you have any comments, please share them with me. It’s always nice to hear someone else’s point of view!
It’s been awhile since I have blogged about my NASCAR fantasy league so I thought I would give ya’ll an update.
The excitement of picking a driver for the week, watching the race, and patiently waiting for the results from our league administrator is still a high point of the latter part of my week. Continue reading ‘Greetings Racing Fans!’
Tonight starts the second season of Ice Road Truckers on the History Channel.
For those of you that have not seen the first season, the show consists of the History Channel following crazy truck drivers as they venture 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle to drive the most isolated and dangerous ice roads in North America. This season they’re (truck drivers) hauling their loads over the ocean, from Inuvik, in the Northwest Territories, to deep out onto the Arctic, where natural gas exploration is under way. They have to follow the speed limit (70 kilometers or about 43.4 miles an hour) in order to not cause waves underneath the ice. Continue reading ‘Ice Road Truckers - Season 2′

A few years ago I was invited along on a family vacation at my nephew’s company cabin on Lake Geneva, north of Alexandria, and I fell in love with the area.
I was looking for a spot to get away last year and came across Woodland Resort. I like to take my mini vacations in the spring and fall of the year as I prefer the cooler weather rather then the hot weather. Continue reading ‘Want to get away? Head north to Woodland Resort’

Greetings NASCAR fans!
Texas speedway had a good race on Sunday. With the longer intermediate length track, the drivers have more room to get their speed up before racing into each turn unlike the short tracks where there is as much braking as going. Continue reading ‘NASCAR The tumble and flip of it all…..’
