This may be a short one since it’s been a quiet week around the ol’ Milner homestead, at least for me. My Mom, on the other hand, is ramping up to get some home improvement projects underway. She shimmied up a ladder and got the last few window ledges painted on the house. I had to help her with the last couple because someone needed to hold the ladder. (My Mom was determined to do them herself, plus she wouldn’t let me paint them in NASCAR paint schemes. SIGH!) She also headed out this morning and got four small evergreen trees. Tomorrow, I’ll give Mom a hand in getting them planted around the house. (Around the outside of the house, I should probably clarify!)
Other than that, it should be a quiet weekend. NASCAR’s regular season finale for the Cup Series will be taking place under the lights at Daytona tomorrow night. (The Xfinity race is on even as I type that.) As per usual, I will post my prediction for how I think the playoffs will shake out over on my Track Talk page, probably Sunday. (I already have my predictions for the Truck Series posted.)
I want to give a shout-out to my buddy Jason Kurn. Over the last year, he and I started exchanging voice mail messages through Facebook. It’s been a really cool way to connect with Jason. We’ll talk about our respective jobs, reminisce about stuff, talk about different songs, etc. Sometimes it’s a few minutes. Other times it’s just 30-45 seconds.
I’m totally open to hearing from anyone (that I know) either via text or voice mail message on Facebook Messenger or via email.
