Thanks CK. This whole process is taking way too long and I don't have a clue what he will tell me in SF. I hope you enjoyed the race today and you were missed here in Eureka.

How many people does your treatment plant serve and where does the water come from?

Your Welcome.

I got to watch it at home (the TV worked for the most part, still waiting for the cable to be hooked up)

A bunch and out of a lake but for security reasons I can't post more than that, sorry.

My pleasure. My number one prayer partner is back from girl scout camp now. We'll continue to keep you in our prayers. Keep in touch.

Hey there bro.

Sounds like you had a great outing. Good break from the rain we've had all week.

Yuba, huh? What is different about hurricane beach? I mean, what could you do to it to change it? Pave it? Did they put in campgrounds or something? Is the sand still there?

451 posted on 06/20/2004 5:05:08 PM PDT by glock rocks (I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything.)

i found they drained the lake two years ago to rebuild the dam and so the lake is only 1/3 full and rising.

and yes they put in 50 new developed camping sites gated the north beach to slow the morons and two wheelers down

and pottys and picnic areas abound!

the site of our halon experience is 50 feet above shoreline now..

Don't tell Glock that I must have missed clicking Jr for my A driver so it looks like I came up about 70 points short. From first last week to last this week... <;~(

Jr's radio cut off on Trackpass about half way through the race......here is the written version. He wasn't too chatty today anyway.

Want to ride with Dale Earnhardt Jr.? Well, we can't put you in his Chevrolet Monte Carlo -- for one thing, there's only one seat -- but we can put you inside his head.

OK, just his helmet. Throughout the rest of the Nextel Cup season, come back here to see what Junior and his crew talk about on the radio.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. dropped to second in the standings at Michigan, but he's only seven points behind leader Jimmie Johnson

BEST RADIO CONVERSATIONS
Struggling with an ill-handling car, there was little chatter from Dale Jr. during much of the race. As the race progressed, Dale Jr. suddenly began passing a series of cars to climb into the top-five with 20 laps remaining.
Stevie Reeves (spotter): "You're getting offa (turn) two good now... "
Dale Jr. (with urgency): "Don't jinx it!"
Within the final 10 laps, Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart crashed in front of Dale Jr, who was hit from behind by Kevin Harvick, flattening the right rear tire.

Dale Jr.: "I just about crashed this (car)! I hit the wall there — just barely.... Something's wrong — I have a flat tire."
Reeves: "I can have the 29 car (Harvick) take a look and see if it's flat..."
Dale Jr.: "It's flat! It's coming apart!" Do you want me to come in this time?"
Tony Eury Jr. (car chief): "If you come in now, you'll have to go to the end of the longest line, but if you can go slow and stay out without tearing the fender off, try that."
Dale Jr. (after passing the pit lane for another lap): "I don't know when it went flat. I went into the corner and got into all that oil and I couldn't keep it out of the wall..."
After the race had ended under a yellow flag:

Dale Jr.: "I have no brakes!"
Tony Jr.: "You'll have to crank the (brake) bias all the way to the front to have any brakes."
Dale Jr.: "Ohhhhhh... I'm already waaaay ahead of ya buddy. I have no (brake) pedal! It was a (bad) day..."
Tony Jr.: "Yeah, we can't be lucky every week. We've been trying to have a bad day for three weeks now."

HE SAID IT
"Where did we finish? 21st? Well, we were probably worse than that most of the day... we were terrible. The car wouldn't turn and we tried everything to make it better. We put (spring) rubbers in, we took 'em out, we moved 'em from the back to the front, we took two tires... we tried it all and never really hit on anything. I had a few laps near the end that were pretty good — we worked our way toward the front for awhile, but the car wouldn't turn, it wouldn't go."

TODAY'S STATS
Started: 11th
Finished: 21st
Points: 2nd (dropped one position, -7 points to leader)
Best Pit Stop: Pit stop number one of eight / four tires and fuel / 13.15 seconds

Come on JunBug you're losing the championship....... From the home pit crew. ;-( See you in Sonoma ooooops Infineon.

I saw that but I have a different problem. I'll find it here in the Stack of Stuff... I know it's here

Deutschland uber alles!

1-2 for the Germans and Stuttgart defeats Detroit in MIS, in a race sponsorsed partially by the German government (Deutsche Post is 63% owned by the government).

Think about it. The German postal service sponsors a NASCAR race and German cars win and place. If you don't believe it, earlier this week NASCAR Drivers 360 showed a Martinsville test where rookie Kasey Kahne was driven around the track in a Mercedes-Benz driven by Jeremy Mayfield.

Both sets of my grandparents were for Germany. Do you have a problem with that???

458 posted on 06/20/2004 9:34:55 PM PDT by tubebender (If I had known I would live this long I would have taken better care of myself...)

No, it's just an interesting statistic -- German cars 1-2, German government as race sponsor. Things are statistics.

Hey Pete, sounds like fun. The race was pretty good depending on who you picked for the league.

Steveegg clobbered us all and he wasn't even trying (same team as last week). Steveegg, are you ok?
