NASCAR Tales of The Idiots

In Honor of Robby Gordon and The Upcoming Dakar Rally, I am reposting this….  Plus I am  celebrating the end of some really bad aspects… I have Astrologically came out of my “Bad Luck” phase. Officially on Dec. 12th.  It’s odd, the aspect came into my life just prior to my ankle issue and a lot of  crap has happened since. So Hurray!! It’s OVER!! Wahoo!!

2009 is going to be great!! I have nothing but great aspects now that last for years! YAY!!

Sept. 1st, 2006

I am not in Fontana as I had an accidental change of plans for the next few months on Aug. 24, while celebrating my daughter’s birthday with a couple of Margarita’s and my friend Linda. I decided to pretend I was Robby Gordon in Baja…or running the Dakar Rally without the terrorists.

Linda and I did some slightly spontaneous creative engineering on my utility wagon ( looks like a child’s wagon but BIG, usually used for odd jobs and yard work. I haul buckets of dirt and water with it, to wash gold out of the dirt). We decided to make it into a combination off road Hummer and half assed, half- luge.

The hill we were on was perfect for a good run. The first run went very well. I drove the 1/2 mile track with 2 turns and didn’t dump Linda end over end until we crossed the finish line. We hauled it back up the hill…Linda drive the second round ( I told her her name was Andy) and we were able to move the finish line another 500 Ft. We hauled it back up the hill again…a little higher…a little further…Adrenaline pumping…Ready for the next go round. We decided to alter the track course a bit. We now, being “experienced driver’s with another tequila backed confidence booster cheering us on”.( I think I had taken a Vicoden too for a head ache I had earlier). We flew down the hill…Through the first turn with flawless finesse. Then just as we were heading into turn 2, there was a caution flag for debris out. We narrowly missed the boulder in our path and careened out of control into the wall…Which was actually the side of a cabin. Flipped in the air and rolled with the wagon, myself, and Linda pinning my leg between us and another very large rock. The crack the crowds heard in the stands was my leg and ankle. The crowd rushed in to help us and remove the debris from on top of us. They lifted Linda from the wagon. Shift. Another crack. Moved my Self and the wagon back from the rock and crack again as my leg was untangled from the carnage. The safety crew jammed me down Burnt River Canyon 40 miles to the nearest hospital in Baker City OR. The Baker City OR Doctors said “Ooooh. This is very bad. We can’t help you here. Doped me up and wanted to send me by ambulance the 200 mile trip to Boise. I said, ” No thanks! We will drive and save the ambulance bill:)”. Had surgery the morning of the 26th. Now I am home and not in Fontana as planned. Crud. I wanted to drive down anyway but the Doc’s said “Nope. No way.” 
Needless to say… I should have read my ‘scope that day.

Repair works *
You may be concerned today with repairing something that has broken down, such as an automobile or an appliance. Or you may have to deal with a situation that has broken down to the point that it must change radically in order to continue, even along completely new lines. You may have to contend with a person who is trying to exert unreasonable power over you today, forcing you to defend your right to do things your way. The person may feel that he or she is doing this for your own good, but that is not usually the case. Avoid contact with criminals and do not go into areas where you are likely to encounter street crime. Under this influence it is just possible that you might have an unfortunate encounter.

Yup…I should have read it. Said humbly in hindsight.

Good News!! The newest Grandbaby was born 8/31 @ 2:00 AM. Chase Patrick came into our world weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz. 20 inches long. Healthy, beautiful and another little redhead like his Grama. That’s makes 4 little red headed grandbabies out of seven. Pretty good genes I say!! Welcome Little Angel!

Chase born just before The Chase! How appropriate. Mom is a Kevin Harvick fan. I am surprised Kevin isn’t his middle name.

As above so Below.  See ya again soon. I think I will knock myself out with pain pills for a few more days. The docs change the cast again on Tues. They anticipate I won’t be walking again for 8 months.

8 MONTHS!! OMG!!

Onward LugNutZ!! Tally Ho!!

P.S.** It was only 6 months before I was walking. Not pretty to look at but walking. I’ve barely a limp anymore.

My Favorite Redneck Christmas Carol & The 5th Annual Naked Santa Snowball Contest Begins!!

Is that a Palin?

It’s Dec. 8th, and that is when I Officially begin celebrating Yule/Advent/ Christmas/ Kwanzaa, etc.  (Let me know if I forgot anything.) By the way…part of this is reposted from last year, and the year before, and the year before etc… ad nauseum…I made a few little changes for this year’s Celebration and Tourney.

I love this little Redneck Christmas Carol. It sticks in my head all season. You know how that is, when you get a song stuck in your head, and you can’t get it out. It’s nice to have something other than the traditional “Jingle Bells” or “Frosty the Snowman” rolling around in there, filling the empty space where brain cells used to be.

**Now you can click on the link to the cute little song and have it stuck in your head too.

“The Redneck Snowman Song” (not the real title)

**Please do not have your children near you computer when you follow this link. It might not be the song you want them singing at school.

Thanks to Jackie Sue for turning me onto this song a Christmas or two ago!

( Jac ~ You are the Church of The Great Oval Honorary Queen of The Universe.  I bow always to your Great Wisdom.)

I also heard that Santa was part of the Whiskey River flows into Cocaine Creek fiasco.

The 5th Annual Naked Santa Snowball Contest has begun.

I scored 72 last year and can’t seem to get out of the 40′s this year.. BEAT ME.

NO WHINING!!

Changeworks…Now. I hope.

My new motto. Changeworks. One word, not a typo. I’m back on my game after a long winter and an ensuing, depressing, divorce. How sad. Oh, well, I guess. My life goes on. I’ve just got to get a new pair of boots to walk around in.

Enough of the drivel.

Thou shalt not whine.

Thou shalt never speak of this again in Church.

It violates the Sanction of our Holy Shrine.

I am going to be posting on a regular basis, and yes, even reading my email once more.

The scope’s will be back up and running for Dover, and we will take a look at what’s going on in individual Driver’s scopes as we lead up to the Chase.

Go Tony!!

I am off for now, to finish watching the race and catch up on my blogging buddies.

Tally Ho!! Ever onward!!

NASCAR ~ The Real Chase begins ~ Speed Control and the Fontana Curse

 Congrats to Jimmie Johnson on winning Richmond and leading the pack into The Chase.

The Chase has begun and I must admit that I am really sorry that Jr. didn’t make it. Ryan too. But life goes on and there is always 2008, which promises to be more exciting than what 2007 has been, as far as racing itself is concerned. 2007 has been pretty boring for me. The main “excitement” has been controversy, sensationalism and posturing, not good old fashioned “get out there and kick some butt racing. Yes, there have been a few moments of excitement, mostly due to Juan Pablo Montoya, a few good finishes, but for me the season has been mostly mundane.

Hopefully the actual Chase will be different.

As for the last two weeks in my life:

I once again did the Scope’s for both Cali and Richmond, knowing we wouldn’t be home…and once again saved them as drafts instead of publishing them. To my astonishment, I get home, look at my blog and no posts. Duh.

I won tickets to Fontana from the Kodak Contest that our fav Canuck hosted at his NASCAR Ranting and Raving Blog.  A couple of cow things came up and it looked as if we were not going to be able to go. With disaster narrowly averted, we set out for lovely Southern California. We get to Southern Oregon, not quite to the California Border. Now mind you, the last few Cali trips have been disasters so I am feeling a bit apprehensive. Dale is already mad at me for going into one of my “I don’t wanna fly… govenment agents might try to get me for slamming Senator Larry Gag, or Mexican Mafia might decide to shoot down the plane we are on because the cops just busted a huge pot farm in our canyon…yada, yada, yada…” Flight gets cancelled and we drive, against Dale’s looming sense that he is married to a LUNATIC. 

My spiffy high tech, automatic speed control alarm, which is implanted in my body, is going off every 5 minutes because Dale hits 66 mph.

“EH! EH! EH! 66!! ^*!! Watch your speed! Getting a speeding ticket is like throwing a hundred dollar bill out the window to see where it blows!”

The speedometer drops 1 MPH.

“EH!! EH!! EH!! 68!!”

Dale gives me a look I know well. It’s the look that comes just prior to him turning into Satan’s Spawn.

I close my eyes and tell myself to stop it, everything is o.k., and he’s a good driver. I try again to tell myself that, until I open my eyes and see the speedometer at 85 mph and he’s looking at something off the back of his shoulder with a curve coming up in front of us.

“EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” I am slamming on the invisible brake that is on my side of the floor board.

I then bring myself back out of the denial I have been trying to keep myself in for the last few minutes. Dale is not a good driver. He drives way too fast, is inattentive and has been in several accidents because of it. I never had, nor do I at any time now, have an anxiety issue while riding in a car, with anyone else other Dale. (Except two of my four daughter’s, who are also really fast, bad drivers. I won’t ride with them at all. Not even two blocks.)

He hits the brakes, as I have startled him out of whatever deep thought was going on in his mind. I see that Satan’s Spawn has now arrived.

“You are going to kill us scaring me like that!” he says.

I say, “Well, if you were paying attention to what you were doing, I wouldn’t have to have the auto alarm!”

Fire begins to flare out of Satan’s Spawn’s nose. His eye’s turn reptilian looking. Blood begins to drip from his ear’s as the pressure in his brain increases.

“I may be in deep doo-doo”, I think to myself.

The truck stops. Satan’s Spawn is in full blown mode now. The truck turns itself around and heads back the way we came at 25 mph.

“What are you doing?” I innocently ask the Man-Child of Satan.

“I am going mining.” He boldly states.

“Ha-ha.” I say.

The lizard-like eyes glare at me. The truck continues it’s forward trek at 25 mph.

” I figure that if we drive 25 mph back to the mine, we will get there about the same time we would get to Fontana if we were driving 85 or 90 and I don’t have to listen to the incessent EH! EH! EH! all the way there.”

I am stunned. “He’s kidding”. “He’s just having a temper tantrum because I am right about his driving skills, and soon Jesus will exorcise Satan’s Spawn from my Beloved and we will be on our way.”

A totally wordless-from-him hour later, I know he wasn’t kidding. We are not on our way to Fontana. We are on our way to John Day, OR. At 25 mph.

We had planned on going to the mine on our way back from Fontana and spending a week there. I knew we would be gone until last night.

I just planned to be somewhere else the first week.

I ended up Labor Day weekend in the middle of nowhere, with no phone or electricity, or internet…or second car to run away to NASCAR Sanity Land, otherwise known as the lone bar in Prairie City, OR… Not knowing who won the race in California.

 

Stayed in nowhere land until yesterday afternoon. A prisoner aginst my will, held captive by Satan’s Spawn.

I have decided the the Labor Day Race in Fontana is not meant for us to go to again. Spring? Maybe. Fall? Never again.

And now you know the rest of the story. Satan’s Spawn has been exorcised. The auto-speed indicator is still in place. We have to drive to Boise this evening, for Doc appt.’s in the morning.

Keep me in your prayers:)

NASCAR is boring ~ part 2

OMG!
I am still at my other house having a fit.

NASCAR ~ Boring? ~ Move to i-DUH-ho

Grumpy girl this morning…
Now you know one reason I hated living in i-DUH-ho. But that;s just one.
I will be posting at my house, On a Quest… this morning, so you NASCAR fan’s who don’t want to be subjected to my ranting can be spared. Words like I want to speak cannot be spoken in Church.

Email’s, birthdays and Gold

Oh! The email’s I get! One of my bud’s sent me this one. I wish I could credit the author but I can’t. Whoever she is, she speaks for all us women-folk.

Important message!
THIS IS NOT A HOAX.

You’ve heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves. Well, this kind of cruel theft is happening with other body parts as well!

My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else’s thighs. It was just that quick. The replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal.

Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans. And then the thieves struck
again.

My Butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear end to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. But my new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my original! I realized I’d have to give up my jeans in favor of long skirts.

Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arm move to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary – my body was being replaced one section at a time. What could they do to me next?

When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a turkey neck, I decided to tell my story. Women of the world, wake up and smell the coffee! Those “plastic”surgeons are using REAL replacement body parts-stolen from you and me! The next time someone you know has something “lifted”, look again – was it lifted from you?

THIS IS NOT A HOAX.

This is happening to women everywhere every night.

WARN YOUR FRIENDS!

P.S. Last year I thought someone had stolen my Boobs. I was lying in bed and they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept.

Now I keep them hidden in my waistband.

We are running to our mine for a couple days and will be back on Friday eve. My daughter, HappyGrl (Harvick fan) will be coming to see us so we can have my youngest Grandson, Chase’s first birthday party at Grama’s. Yeah. ( This is how I see if my kids read my blog, they said no pics odf the kids on the internet without telling tham LOL!!)

Friday is also the anniversery of the “Great Clance’s pretends to be Robby Gordon Dakar Deer Creek Rally” disaster. Which means my ankle/leg is as good as it will ever get. At least I am walking. I can hike steep hills as long as I go backwards and I am working on the mountain bike. Driving is still an issue, as I can’t feel half my foot, but I manage for short distances and back roads. No traffic or freeways for me. I am grateful I have those abilities. Doc said if I had done it ten years ago I would have lost my foot.
I am very grateful I didn’t.

Tally Ho and see ya on Friday!

???!!!

Is anyone else having issues seeing my blog? I keep getting a “Page not available” error message on it. If so let me know at churchofthegreatoval@gmail.com
I think it’s Aliens…
Thanks!
Go try for those Fontana tickets!!

NASCAR ~ Kevin Harvick wins Zippo 200 ~ Clance’s back in the “Real World”

Congrats to Kevin Harvick for winning the Zippo 200 at the Glen!!
I can’t wait for tomorrow. As most of you know, road races are my favorite.

This week has been an interesting, yet productive week for me.
Moving to the sticks has had it’s good things and it’s bad things. One of the worst issues has been resolved and I am skippity doo dah-ing around.
We are so far out in the sticks, that we have had no phone service and have been dependent upon whether our cell phone was picking up signal or not. The HughsNet service people had procrastinated forever getting out here to set up my dish for my internet. Yesterday all was resolved. We got our phone line finally out here. HughsNet showed up, said: “You do not have line of sight.”, and therefore I have to resort to the po-dunk dial up. BUT! That’s better than nothing. I have had to drive into town to check my email and write ‘scopes, etc…etc…which has been a huge pain in my you know what.
Today is a good day. I have a real phone and real (sorta) internet. Tho slow, it is in my house and I can finally write daily, when I want ( I do my best work in the middle of the night) and fulfill the commitments I have made with others.
We signed the contracts yesterday for the building we are leasing for our NASCAR store, which will be in Baker City. We should be open the week after Labor Day. Our house in Idaho finally closed, and we have no more ties there except my kids and grandkiddo’s. As you can see, we have a lot going, however it is going smoothly now…”That makes Clance’ easier to live with.”, says Hubby Dale.
Yee-Haw!!
I don’t even care that the cows are a pain in the butt anymore:)
I will have ‘scopes up for Sonoma in a little bit.

Happy Day! Onward!!

NASCAR Blogging Interruptus

We apologize, but this Blog was interrupted this past week by Mother Nature. It seems that She saw fit to cleanse the region (the pink spot on the map is approx. where I am) around my ranch.

She sent many, many little fire elementals to the area, and they did a very good job cleaning all the dead and dry vegetation up. They have now moved on, to another region just south of my home. They did leave me a note, that said they might be back to visit anytime, so be prepared. You can read little about these elementals here, and here . You could also run a search on OR wild fires, read all the news, and assume our ranch is right in the middle of it all. To get a better idea of how big our place is, we have 1750 acres surrounding the house, barn, outbuidlings and corrals. It’s all grass, sagebrush and juniper. We also have 300 acres of timber on the top of the mountain, and 99,000 acres of leased BLM land. We are in the middle of a steep canyon, and get stange micro bursts of air elementals (wind~ 30 – 70 MPH) that blow up and then die off several times a day. To give you an idea of how much strength the air elementals have…Well, it tore the roof off my porch the other day. The air elementals like to help the fire elementals clean up faster, by picking them up, and spreading them around. Everywhere. They did spare our place and cattle, although I must say, it was somewhat scary.

This picture, taken from space, by NASA, will give you an idea of how determined these little guys are.

Mother Nature sure has her own way of showing us how little power we truly have over our life on occasion, doesn’t she?

I told Marc once that I would rather deal with our snow, than his typhoons.
A good typhoon would be welcome in
Ea. Or-ee-gun not Ar-uh-GONE right now.
Fat chance of that happening, huh?

I think this is sort of funny. Like we get local radio up here. Mouth to mouth is how we keep up with emergency warnings.

The American Red Cross encourages everyone to follow the steps listed below to protect your family, home and property:
• If you are warned that a wildfire is threatening your area, listen to a battery-operated radio for reports and evacuation information. Follow the instructions of local officials.

• Back your car into the garage or park it in an open space facing the direction of escape. Shut doors and roll up windows.
(** Clance’ says: Yeah, right. Like there is a direction of escape)

• Confine pets to one room. Make plans to care for your pets in case you must evacuate.
(** And the pet sitter’s phone number in our area is?)

• Arrange temporary housing at a friend or relative’s home outside of the threatened area.
(**????? What!!?? When the freeway and all major and minor highways and roads are closed, just how do you do that?)

• Listen to local radio stations for the location of Red Cross Shelter/Information Center.

If advised to evacuate, do so immediately. Wear protective clothing, take a disaster supplies kit, lock your home, tell someone where you are going and choose a route away from fire hazards. Watch for changes in the speed and direction of fire and smoke.

(**Need I say more??)

Congrats to Reed Sorenson for winning the Busch race!
I almost forgot the Brickyard is coming up this next weekend…NASCAR, for some odd reason, has just not been at the top of my priority list

Tally Ho! Onward!!

Cluttered House…Cluttered mind.

No, this is not my house, mine isn’t this bad but I feel like it.

Here is my ‘scope for today:

You may want to spend some time at home enjoying the serenity that surrounds you which could make it easier for you to relax and savor the tranquility that lies within today. Perhaps setting aside space that is calm and quiet in your home could be a way for you to imbue your everyday surroundings with a peacefulness that you can bring to every aspect of your day today. You might, for example, consider making a special place for meditation, putting cushions, incense and maybe even an altar in a corner of a room so that whenever you need a few moments of peace, you have a place you can always go to. The simple act of creating a meditation space, you may notice, can also make the intention to infuse your life with peace a much more real part of your life.

Having a place in our homes for quiet contemplation allows us to make space for stillness and respite in our everyday lives. When we have a place that is dedicated solely for the purpose of calming our minds, breathing deeply and becoming centered, we automatically respond to it with a feeling of relaxation. Just seeing it is often enough to make us feel much more content about our life and training ourselves to be in this space will in turn help us to extend this feeling to everything we do. By creating a place for reflection, you will give yourself the gift of tranquility and peace of mind today.

The move to the Ranch has been overwhelming for me. We have so much STUFF. I am constantly chasing cows that jump over or through the fences (1750 acres, and they want in my yard,), so I have had no time to really settle in. I need to Kill the Bitch Cow that keeps trying to gore me. I am going to take a few days off from worrying about my blog, so I can finish up what I need to do. You know how it goes…Cluttered House, Cluttered mind.

So…After the Bitch Cow is taken care of, this is what I will be doing and why:

Letting Go of Clutter – From the Inside Out
Ariane Benefit, M.S.Ed.

For many people who are used to being surrounded with all their things, suddenly having a clutter-free spacious home can cause a lot of anxiety! If you aren’t ready to let go, clearing clutter can be as traumatic as losing all your things in a fire…and in most cases, the clutter will just come right back! That’s why it is so important to NOT just throw everything out. You need to be ready. You need to take the time to go through your things and change the way to relate your things from the inside out.

Becoming conscious of why you hold on to things, and how much it’s costing you may be just what you need to motivate you and help you become “ready” to let go. Once you have reframed the beliefs, thoughts and feelings that cause you to hang on you can let go of the stuff you don’t need and experience the joys of clutter free living. But sometimes that’s not enough. Knowing the price you pay for holding on to clutter isn’t always enough to motivate you to let it go. Why? Usually because there is some underlying benefit you are getting from holding on to your clutter.

Perhaps your clutter is distracting you from painful emotional issues, such as a difficult life transition you may be experiencing like a death in the family, loss of a job, or a divorce. Some people use clutter as a way to get back at a loved one who doesn’t give them enough attention or hurts them in some way. Perhaps you use it unconsciously to avoid dealing with anger and resentments. Like depression, clutter is often a symptom of a whirlwind of repressed emotions turned inward to avoid dealing with feelings and expressing them. Understanding this is very helpful. Once you identify the “invisible monster” it’s much easier to fight it!

Ask yourself:

* What needs is having clutter around meeting for me?
* What am I afraid will happen if I let go of the items that I don’t use anymore?
* What void is the clutter filling?
* What do I get to avoid thinking about or feeling by keeping the clutter around?
* What stories am I telling myself about why I can’t let these things go?

If your clutter is serving to help you avoid dealing with deeper issues such as not being happy in your marriage or job, if you suddenly don’t have clutter as your crutch, the clutter will come back. And it may trigger serious emotional pain. If you understand the role clutter is playing in your emotional life, then you can begin to find better ways to deal with those emotional needs and gradually let the clutter go.

If you are having great difficulty letting go of clutter that is reducing the quality of your life, there is hope for you! Working with a professional organizer who is also a life coach trained to support people who are experiencing deeper emotional issues may be just what you need to finally let go of clutter – from the inside out.

It’s easy to just go along with life – perhaps we have a vague
feeling that this isn’t the way we expected it to be, or we might
even feel so overwhelmed by the demands on our time that anything
else seems impossible. Mostly, we don’t take the time step back and
think about the life we are leading or the relationships we have
created. ~ Jane Powell

The surest way to detach from one outcome is to reattach yourself to a more empowering outcome: serving others, replacing a bad habit with a good one, or focusing on the present.” – Stephen Shapiro,

This is true with decluttering as well. It is much easier to let go, when you have a clear vision of what you want in its place. Clutter is often a result of being stuck in or unable to let of the past. It could be emotional, or just not taking the time to clear out stuff you don’t need. To help you emotionally detach from your stuff, so you can let it go, it helps to focus on

The empowering present and future results you will achieve
How having less clutter will serve you and make your life better
Keeping only the treasures and things you really need in the “present.” ~ Stephen Shapiro

This is true with decluttering as well. It is much easier to let go, when you have a clear vision of what you want in its place. Clutter is often a result of being stuck in or unable to let of the past. It could be emotional, or just not taking the time to clear out stuff you don’t need. To help you emotionally detach from your stuff, so you can let it go, it helps to focus on

* The empowering present and future results you will achieve
* How having less clutter will serve you and make your life better
* Keeping only the treasures and things you really need in the “present.”

Here are some examples of the positive outcomes you gain from clearing clutter:

* A better family life with less fighting and stress
* More time to spend on things and people you really love
* Improved relationships
* Able to invite people to your home or office without embarrassment
* More energy (clutter actually physically drains energy and can lead to depression)
* More money (clutter usually results in buying duplicates of things you already have)
* Higher self-esteem (you feel better about your self when you are in charge – not your stuff)
* Less stress
* You’ll be able to find what you need when you need it
* Better health (less stuff to collect dust & dirt)
* It will be easier to clean your home
* You will have less mental clutter so it will be easier to focus on your present and future goals and get things done!

To help you detach emotionally from sentimental items, try meditating on the following thoughts.

* Things are NOT people! When you toss or recycle something someone gave you, like a card, a souvenir, or a toy, you are not throwing away the person. The same is true of duplicate photos. You aren’t getting rid of the person when you get rid of the extra photos.

* People don’t expect you to keep everything they give you for the rest of your life. They give you things to make you happy, and if having too much stuff is making you unhappy, they surely would want you to pass the things on.

* Keeping old clothing from an era in your life so you can remember it is a sentiment many of us share. I have a hard time with this too! But you can learn to let go of clothing too! One way is to take photos of them instead of keeping the clothes themselves. The thing about old clothing is that it needs to be cleaned regularly and stored properly or it will start to rot, turn yellow, attract moths and other bugs, collect dust mites and maybe even get moldy or mildewed. It also can be really bad for allergies. Why put yourself through this? Isn’t it better to pass on clothing to someone who can use it rather than take your time and energy or just letting it rot?

* Often people want to pass things down to their kids. This can be a good thing, but many people hold on to way too much on behalf of their kids. I’ve seen whole basements full of “stuff my kinds might want in 25 years” Trust me, they won’t want all their old baby clothes! Maybe a couple really cool games, but be choosy! Set space limits on how much you will keep. Give the rest to someone who can use your unneeded things now.

* Often people are afraid they will miss things. To counteract this fear, remember, things can be replaced, but you can’t make more time. And you can’t easily make space in your home without letting excess, unused things go. And if you do miss something, it usually passes in a moment and there is no harm to you. You don’t need that much to survive! If you find yourself missing an inanimate object so badly it interferes with your life, you should probably seek counseling to get at the root of the issue.

Letting go isn’t easy, but if you stay focused on your present needs and priorities, and learn to view your things with less emotion, you will be much happier. Mastering the art of letting go of your stuff is a wonderful way to build your self-esteem, gain peace of mind and feel in control of your life! ~ Ariane Benefit, M.S.Ed ~ Neat Living.net

So now you know:)
I am not even going to check my email.

Have a good week and I will see you on Friday. If I never come back you know the Bitch Cow got me , instead of me getting her.

Tally Ho! Onward!

NASCAR in Sonoma ~ Astro Predictions ~ Turn Left and right and “Sideways?

Here are the pertinent aspects for today’s race at Sonoma. The moon, once again is void of course. The moon also enters Scorpio and Mars enters Taurus, so this could be a very exciting race, with lots of aggression and hot heads. Or not. Remember when the Moon is void of course, anything goes.

Sorry the ‘scopes are late but my pal Gloria and I went for a ride to Lagrande OR. to pick up a bed from her grandson and ended up on a little adventure,that lasted 2 days. Sideways.(*hint) Let me put it this way, The Gilstrap Brother’s. Ted and Warren, make the best Merlot at Gilstrap Brothers Vineyard and Winery on the face of the Earth…How the small winery came to be is carrying out The Bros. Gilsrtap’s Daddy’s dream.We discovered it in perfect timing for the Sonoma race, in which we shall be drinking our wine in style and with grace and grandness. The wine they produce makes Jeff Gordon’s wine taste like vinegar:) More on the wineries later, let’s get these scopes up before the race starts.

** Note: John Paul the Pope of Motorsports ‘scope is the same as Jimmie Johnson’s. Scary. So is Jamie McMurray’s.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Theme:Seething inside **

During this time it is necessary to proceed slowly and cautiously. The more thoroughly and carefully you perform any task, the more chance there is that it will succeed. This can be a very frustrating and irritating time, when all your efforts to assert yourself are blocked, more by a sense of internal inadequacy than by circumstances or other people. However, you are not likely to take negative reinforcement lying down. The part of you that is struggling to break free from inhibitions will feel very angry at being held back. Consequently you are likely to be irritable and easily angered, although your inner doubts make you reluctant to show your anger openly. But no matter how you try to cover it up, everyone will be quite aware that you are seething inside.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

Today you desire experience and activity. It will not be enough to stay in exactly the same place you have been.This desire makes you go after what you want, with complete optimism that you will get it. On the intellectual level, this influence can signify study or other mind- expanding inquiry. You have a strong desire to understand and know, even about ideas that you normally consider to be beyond your understanding. It is very important today that you act with a firm sense of discipline and not simply indulge every compulsive whim that comes along. Take on the projects that you can handle plus a little extra, but not very much extra. Handle your resources intelligently and be careful not to invest unwisely.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
You feel good today and affectionate toward just about everyone around you. You should spend time with friends and even try to make new ones, if the opportunity arises. Think about your relationships and appreciate exactly how much love you give to and receive from others. If there are tensions in any of your relationships, this is a good time to work at smoothing them over. Probably you will be quite popular today, and you should use the positive energies you are putting out to make a good impression on the people you want to impress. However, don’t be phony about it, because you will not be very effective in the long run. The point is that the good impression you make will be because of the person you actually are, not the person you think others want you to be.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978

This will be a very favorable day for all kinds of communications and personal interchange with others. Even routine connections with friends and neighbors will be very fruitful, for you will be able to get through to each other with greater clarity. This is an excellent day for communicating something important to another person, in which it is necessary to be precisely clear. If you have to present the views of a group and your ideas must be in tune with theirs, this will be a favorable time. But this is also a good day to examine your own goals and expectations.Today is fine for traveling for any purpose, although you will be best served if it stimulates your mind or has an educational purpose.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
Theme:Harmonious cooperation

Valid during several months: This is one of the best influences for all relationships: love affairs, relationships with partners, with coworkers, even with enemies. Ego forces are so in tune at this time that you can create the proper balance between yourself and everyone you meet. In your marriage or other love relationship, you will be able to express affection easily and make your feelings clear to your partner. In other partnerships, including professional ones,you are able to understand the needs of your partner,so that you can arrive at maximum understanding and work together harmoniously. Be careful not to let your amiability prevent you from standing up for your own rights. You need not worry about alienating your partner, because you will be able to make it clear that you are working for your mutual benefit.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

Today you seek excitement and stimulation through your love relationships, even to the point of provoking a fight. The existing patterns of your relationships will become difficult to deal with even if you know that they are basically constructive. Be careful of being impatient with loved ones, demanding that they gratify your need for excitement, unless of course you want to have an argument. In fact, this influence can be a test of the flexibility of your relationship. The less flexible it is, the more disruptive this time will be.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Theme: Emotional confrontations

During this time you turn your attention to your most personal relationships, in which you express yourself in a much more emotional manner than usual. This influence will affect a marriage, relationships with opponents, or any other inherently emotional confrontation. Loved ones and partners are much more important to you than usual, for they provide you with a feeling of security and support. And to be fair, you have the same interest in proving these elements for your loved ones. But if your are in a negative state now, this influence will tend to make you excessively jealous and possessive, or you may act unconsciously or automatically with your loved ones. Confrontations with women, both positive and negative, are likely to be more intense that those with men.

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980
Theme: Easily irritated

During this time you probably feel hurt, offended or ignored and therefore you have withdrawn into yourself,and do not allow anyone to get really close to you. At the same time, though, deep down you want to participate, enjoy life, love and be loved. Nevertheless, you should not expect too much of yourself in this respect. You probably need seclusion or a withdrawal to get over everything. In that case you should not bury yourself in your pain as that will not make things better. You will possibly find that the behavior of the other person was unintentional, and that your present situation mainly mirrors your own sensitivity.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

This morning you experience rapidly changing moods, which may interfere with clear perception of your goals, especially if your goals have been set without much regard for your personal needs. If your goals are purely professional or make excessive demands on your personal and domestic life, this time will be somewhat disruptive. You may feel dissatisfied with your progress, or you may feel that no matter how much you accomplish, there is always something lacking. This influence sometimes signifies changes in your domestic life.If you have handled this matter well, you should encounter the more positive side of this influence and be able to go about your business with a remarkable sense of wholeness. You will feel that your activities are satisfying, both professionally and personally.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Theme: Personal advancement

Valid during several months: This is an excellent influence for all kinds of group activity and for being with friends. You feel unusually sociable, and people will enjoy your company. Friends may be of considerable benefit to you today. You should certainly seek out other people, and if you need a favor from someone, this would be a good time to ask. This influence is extremely good for any interview in which you must make a good impression. By chance, you may make a new friend in the course of your everyday activities.The familiar setting in which you meet will set the tone of the entire relationship, a tone of easy familiarity and friendliness. This influence is also likely to provide opportunities for personal advancement as a result of the favorable impression that you have made.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972Under this influence you will seek an exciting break from your daily routine.You may “feel” asense of a freshy new breeze” in your career, as well as feelings of revolt and noticible upsurge. The aspects that are affecting this new attitude are in effect from June 23 through mid Sept.

Boris Said, born 18 September 1962
You will find it relatively easy to act freely today. You are not very tolerant of restrictions under this influence, and you will look for ways to get away from them. As a result, you are not very self-disciplined, but this is not a serious loss, because whatever you do now is more important than “keeping your nose to the grindstone.” You feel that keeping your individuality is more important than living up to other people’s expectations, and you let others know this. This is ultimately to your advantage, since you must be yourself in whatever you do. Reform the elements in your life that need to be reformed. This is an aspect of creative change.

David Stremme, born 19 June 1977
Venus Sextile Jupiter Theme: Fair Exchange
Valid during several months: June 23- Mid Sept. 2007

You feel contented and benevolent under this influence. You are at peace with the world and want to share your feelings with everyone whom you meet. Friends, in particular, may be the beneficiaries of your generosity, as you may benefit from theirs. In either case you both will benefit, because everything done under this influence becomes a fair exchange in the long run. This time is favorable for all financial enterprises, especially those involving foreign investments, medicine or the law. Any legal matters decided during this time will also work out to your benefit. A new friendship or love relationship that begins now will be beneficial. Such a relationship will bring out your best qualities and can truly be described as a growth relationship. You are attracted to high-minded and upright people.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Today during the day you have the capacity to work either with others or alone. If you work with others you will have to have a lot of independence or some kind of leadership role in order to feel that you have been given an adequate chance. Probably you will get that chance. You have a much greater desire than usual to take the initiative and much stronger feelings of courage and self-reliance. If you have to defend your point of view when challenged, you will not back down but will argue your case with vigor and passion. Others will respect you for this even when they do not agree. You do not feel any need to make unwarranted attacks in order to maintain yourself.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
During this time you will find it necessary to subordinate your desire for amusement to the needs of the present. In your relationships it may be necessary to confront difficulties that you have not handled earlier. Sometimes problems in relationships arise when tacit agreements are not clear to both partners. This is a good time to discuss those agreements openly. This influence is good for all matters relating to your work or profession. During this time you should enjoy good relationships with both superiors and employees. You are willing to work with others to resolve any difficulties that may arise. You may gain financial or other favors, quite unexpectedly, from your employer.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Today you will focus your attention on getting ahead in some way. You feel strong, vigorous and confident. Your relationship with your superiors is good, and they may grant you some favor that will assist you in your efforts. Nevertheless you do not feel dependent upon anyone now, nor do you feel that you need recognition from others. Instead you draw satisfaction from knowing inside yourself what you can do. You have a good understanding of yourself, and the calmness that usually goes along with this influence enables you to plan with a cool head. Your personal and family life are also benefited by this influence, because your personal strength is coupled with a sense of responsibility and the knowledge that you don’t have to take away anything from your loved ones in order to get ahead.

So that’s it. Good luck to all.
Tally Ho!! Cheers!!

NASCAR in Charlotte ~ Casey Mears gets 1st Cup Victory!

Well, once again, HMS Rules at Lowes, as HMS has ruled the season so far. Congrats to Casey Mears for his first Cup win and his second place finish last night. He earned his stripes. When Denny Hamlin had to go in for a splash, that was that. Mears, running far ahead of J.J., had the deal done at that point. He ran a great race. It was fun to see his face. I think he was surprised.
(** Please? Don’t fire me and hire Jr., Mr. Hendricks. I can drive. Really! **)
Alas, I must admit, I was cheering for him to run out of gas or have a tire go down. I really like “‘Lil-Amigo” Yeley, and I was cheering for him to still take 2nd.
I so wanted to see Kyle Petty get that win. Wouldn’t that have been great! Congrats to his finest finish in 10 years. I was wondering if he would really cut his ponytail off, or has he become attached to it. I like it myself, being the old Hippi at heart that I am. Reed Sorenson had a great surprise 4th place finish.

I felt really bad for Biff, being the first to biff. The garage guys were busy today. Sheesh!
My heart just broke when Jeff Gordon butt bumped the wall and fell into pieces. Darn. Personally, I like the point standings a little closer, a little more unpredictable. Nothing against Jeff, of course.

The Toyota’s showed some stuff this weekend. I will lay a prediction down right now so I can say “I told you so”:
The Toyota teams will kick butt next year.
Jeremy Mayfield got a new crew chief and led the race a lap for his birthday present. It’s good to see him back, and running well. Vickers and Jarrett too. The Great Rooster showed he can still crow.
Jarrett was driving his heart out,showing he still has the stuff that made him the Champ that he is. Vickers was hot. He also may have made his jackman feel a little heat rush from narrowly averting disaster. Scary.

One of the saddest moments of the race for me was when Carl Edwards lost his tire and took out both Bill Elliot and David Ragan. How Mears missed that I will never know. David Ragan showed what he was made of today. He has such a great attitude. I took a look at his natal chart, and we can expect big things from him in the future. He has the Sun in his 10th house, which is the House of Fame and Fortune. All the Big Boys have it.

What is it about Charlotte and Aliens this year? Perhaps the conspiracy is finally being broken, with the Light side prevaling. Come back to the Light…come back… **If you click on the green words…you will know, if you don’t already.
All in all it was a great race. Ryan continued to drive like the RocketMan he is, and despite the issue today, his lucky streak isn’t over, by any means. It’s just beginning. Tony showed his stuff once more, and stays consistantly, right where he needs to be. The finish results broke up the monotony of the first portion of the season. The standings have changed a bit. I want to see the Baby Alien out and Jr. in.

Now if Ingrid will just have the baby during a race that will be great. BUT…I predict that they will induce the baby a fews days early to avoid any point conflicts. Little girls can surprise you ‘tho. Maybe, just maybe, she will decide to come zooooooming out when she wants too, not when planned… Start her life out as an unpredictable little woman, as all women should be.

NASCAR Daze in Durkee, Oregon

 
I woke up this morning at 5:30 AM, hot flash roaring like an internal inferno. AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGG! Growling, I threw the covers off me, and a cat flew across the room. “Great.“  “Sorry Kitty” I said. She glared at me, and trotted off to another room, her tail flipping angrily side to side. I laid there wondering why I was on the couch. I looked around for Dale and wondered where the heck I was even at. The surroundings looked familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then wondered if I was dreaming. “Yeah, that’s it, I am really still asleep.” I closed my eyes in my dream to go back to sleep…Five or so minutes later: Hot Flash again. Covers off again. Sweat….Rip off my Tony jammies…again saying… AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGG! With a heavy sigh I opened my eyes. 5:40 AM says the clock. I am still in the familiar, yet, not familiar room, on a couch that is not mine, with a very angry cat coming down the hall glaring at me. Then I realize, it’s not even our/ my cat. Our cat is 18 years old. Yellow. Sleeps a lot. He is a he. He moves very slowly. He came to us declawed. This cat is a pretty calico which means it is a she, and she is not happy and can move quite quickly. She has claws. MEEEEOOOWWWWW! She charges me. I jerk my feet up just as she pounces. She looks at me and jumps again, wrapping her legs around my arm, digs in with her front claws, is kicking with her back claws and bites my hand. My confusion clears as my skin is pierced and blood runs down my arm and hand, trying to protect my naked breasts from the beasts attack. Whoa Kitty…Nice Kitty. She purrs and curls back up where she was sleeping, before I threw her off at 5:30. Purr…purrrrr.Purr… purrrr. Kitty looks at me sweetly and goes back to sleep in her sleeping spot.  I look around. I remember where I am and where Dale is.I wasn’t dreaming. This is real. Why am I so confused? Did I have a stroke? Some kind of mental breakdown? I try to stand up.I am dizzy and my head is pounding. Whoa. I sit back down and stay clear of the cat. Now I am freezing. I put my Tony jammies back on, along with a fleece jacket that is lying on the floor, next to the couch. My titanium ankle/leg is killing me. My throat is killing me. My chest feels like a roll of 200 MPH duct tape has been tightly wrapped around me. My back seizes up as I move. I am in OR and Dale went back to ID to pay bills and grab a load of stuff from the garage to prepare for the big move to The Ranch. I didn’t go because it has been snowing for days, and we were afraid of leaving our 5th wheel to the elemental powers that Be. The roof can only take so much weight and snow is heavy. I did not want to take this cruddy Durkee virus home to the grand-babies. We are watching a freind’s home and kitty while she is out of town. We moved our 5th wheel here to her land, but we have been sleeping in her home, as it is warmer and there is no need to double the power bill, or go through a ton of propane to keep our 5th wheel warm. I have the heat in the 5th wheel on low. It keeps the snow from freezing and allows for easier knock off. I slipped yesterday, when I was walking out to the 5th wheel. In a massive effort to not twist my broken leg, I twisted my back and I went down to the ground. My Dad used to call me Grace for a reason. All my life…Grace follows me wherever I go. A ballerina of clumsiness, I am. Be careful you say? Whatever. That takes too long. I am outside, on my hands and knees, mentally feeling my ankle/leg to see if it’s OK. It is. I am grateful that I took the time to put gloves on. Because I still have a few limitations with the foot/ankle/leg, I cannot get up from this position without something to grab onto. I am going to get to crawl through the snow to the 5th wheel. Great. I really hope no one drives by and sees me. This is a town of 60 people. We are “outsider’s”.  If you have ever lived in a small town. you know how what I am talking about. Everyone knows everything about everyone else, and what they don’t know they just make up.Fer-inst-dunce:My daughter accidentally transposed a number dialing us, and called the lady at the store. She said Dale’s son was in Boise and was trying to get a hold of Dale, thinking she was talking to our friend whose home we are watching. The next thing we know the other neighbor lady (who is very nice) is at the door in her pajamas, saying “Dale! You need to call Kimi. Your son is in jail.”You get the jist.

This is a really small town… vicious in it’s winter boredom and  creativity for gossip. I don’t need anyone to see me crawling in the snow. I hear a car. I drop flat and pray that my snow path I have created, is hiding my maroon “call attention to me” snow-pants. I think to myself; “Whew! That was close”. I begin my trek towards the 5th wheel. I grab onto the step and start to try to pull myself up. Suddenly I hear a voice say:  “Are you o.k. Clance?” Ohhh… no. My Dear God in Heaven! It’s the lady from down the road. Where did she come from?I am doomed to be the laughing stock of Durkee, OR.,  forever…and ever…Amen.“I am fine. How are you today?” said I, “The crazy NASCAR miner lady from the Canyon that broke her ankle leg trying to pretend she was in the Dakar Rally…”

“She was drunk and hit the side of a building you know.”

” Now they are moving here.”

” To the Big Ranch in the Canyon.”

” Just how did they get that place anyway? “

” I saw you fall as I was walking and I wanted to make sure you weren’t drunk.”

“It’s cold and if you passed out you would die out here.”

” By the way, I heard your moving to The Burnt River Ranch.”

” I didn’t know it was for sale. It’s one of the oldest places around, you know.”

Yeah, I know. It is the biggest too. 1750 acres of rattlesnakes, all looking for someplace to go when it is 115 degrees outside this summer. My big… green… cool… shady… yard.

” Are you mining it?”

Uh…no.

” Are you buying it?” she asks again, prying for answers.

Uh…no… “We are care-taking it for the owner.”

“How much do you have to pay? How do you know them? When are you moving?” ” Where is “G” (our freind who’s home and cat we are watching) anyway?”  “What is she doing that is keeping her gone so long?”

I feel battered by the assault of questions… on  defense. On the ground, near the 5th wheel, near de’ – fence.

I think to myself: “None of your friggin’ business.”

I smile and say: “Could you give me a hand?” “Would you like to come in and have a latte? I also have french pressed, fresh ground, french roast Starbuck beans?”

She looks confused, takes my hand to assist me in standing, smiles and says:” No, thanks.”

“I am on my way to the Post Office.” ” I better get going…Just wanted to make sure you were ok.”

 She trots right off. Back to the car I hoped didn’t see me.

“Buh- Bye!” I say, fake smile pasted on my face. “Thanks!” ” See ya!!”

 Then I panic. I go into the house. Take a pain pill, a muscle relaxer and some cold medicine.

Fell asleep waiting for American Idol to come on.

Wake up at 5:30 in a state of confusion and remember:

I am the flame that fuels the fire.

 I am the fresh fodder to be stepped in.

B.S. is slippery stuff.  Oh, well.

It will give me beautiful fodder to endlessly write about.

I have a feeling I shall never have writer’s block again…

NEVER dis’ my Driver.

I was sorting through my hundreds of backed up emails the other day after a modem crisis. I saw an email from my best friend of twenty some years. She was innocently inquiring about my daughter’s birthday when she made a near fatal mistake…

Hey, isn’t it almost Kelsey’s birthday? The 23rd? The 29th? Something like that, right?

Where ya been? I haven’t seen you online for a couple days. Not since you left to go watch Tony lose the race the other day. (Sorry. Had to say that.)

Maybe we’ll talk tomorrow. I was just wondering about Kelsey’s birthday and trying to remember when it is. Maybe it’s the 28th. Seems like it’s the twenty somethingth. I don’t think that’s a word. Oh well. Add it to our dictionary.

Me

“Hmmm”…I thought as I bristled at the thought of MY Smoke being called a “loser”. I decided that instead of being purely vindictive I would educate her. I began my instruction in several E-Lessons from the Church of the Great Oval.

The following e-lessons were delivered to her email :
1. 11:03:05 AM MST 8/23/05 A very large file (1.3 MB) containg a very LARGE picture of Tony Stewart. First lesson in identifying GREATNESS.
2. 11:03:31 AM MST 8/23/05 Church of the Great Oval E-Lesson #1

A little Nascar Lesson…
1. Tony did not LOSE. He was 5th which keeps him in the top ten of the race which still adds points to the chase to the championship. (HE IS THE LEADER you know…HE is GOING to WIN the championship hands down and that is just the way it is.) So mote it be…
He started around 38th cuz he was fooling everyone the night before. He wanted the other drivers to think his car wouldn’t do well when he was qualifying. It’s all part of the PLAN girly-girl. He finished 5th, which is Awesome. You need to watch the races to see that he is usually leading the whole race. Once in awhile he LETS someone pass him. That is because he feels sorry for them and let’s them have a couple points for leading a lap or two… he is so nice, and even tempered and courteous and cautious. He worry’s the other drivers delicate feelings might be hurt if he hogs all the lead all the time. HE IS THE GREATEST DRIVER ON EARTH!!
There. I had to give you the lesson and set you straight about a few things…and you better not be rooting for Jeff Gordon, or DE JR. Jimmy Johnson is right behind Tony so you cannot root for him either, even if he is gorgeous.

3. 11:06:26 AM MST 8/23/05 Another file (6.5 KB) containing a picture of Tony Stewart driving the #20 Home Depot beauty. E-lesson on in car identification of the BEST of the BEST.
4. 11:06:44 AM MST 8/23/05 File (13.3 KB) containing next e-lesson in identifiying the #20 Home Depot Chevy. (She’s a smart gal. Usually two digit numbers aren’t to tough for her to remember. I was concerned however, about the loss of her mental cognition, perception, and Reality Orientation after the comment about Tony in her original email.)
5. 11:30:35 AM MST 8/23/2005 She replied back. She said something showing she needed more education. Something like:”I saw the standings and I didn’t see Tony anywhere.”
I immediately said a Church of the Great Oval prayer for her soul ‘s salvation and replied back with E-Lesson # 2.
If you go to : http://www.nascar.com/ you will see my boy’s name at the front of all of them…you were sorely mistaken honey…..
or you can go to http://www.tonystewart.com/
or http://www.foxsports.com/
or http://www.speed.com/
or….do I need to say more?
I also added a few graphics to the lesson that said :BIFF!! SLAM!! POW!!
APPLAUSE!! (with audio)
6. I , being the Educational Director at Church of the Great Oval, then forwarded many,many pages from the Sacred Site www.nascar.com . Pages and pages of stats and information. Information and Stats all day long poured in to her box. Home Depot Driver Tony Stewart stats and pictures and bio’s…

I received the following reply at the end of the day:

Holy shit. Okay, okay. Tony Stewart rules! Yea! Go Tony! Weeeee! I made a boo boo. I won’t let THAT happen again. If I feel inclined to say something negative again, I’ll make sure I say it about somebody that doesn’t matter so much – like Dale or one of your children. Or God. Okay????

That is right my friend…Always be humble, and BOW TO GREATNESS.
