We had a great afternoon watching the Daytona 500 on TV yesterday afternoon. Mary made a great spread that included barbecue sauce covered vegan hot dogs, green cauliflower "wings" with spicy orange glaze, vegan cheese, and crackers.
The race itself was marred a few times by big crashes that took out my favorite driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr.,
Mary's second favorite driver, Danica Patrick, and many others.
It became a race against attrition, finally won by Kurt Busch. in car #41. Chase Elliott was in the lead until he ran out of fuel.
Next week, NASCAR races @
While NASCAR is not Formula One, nor is it the "Greatest Spectacle in motor racing" The Indianapolis 500, it is racing, albeit with cars that are more like taxi cabs than race cars.
We took a short walk with the fur-children yesterday before we all settled in to watch the race. Mostly, we just stayed inside.
The current temperature is 39° that feels like 31° due to the 10 - 20 mph winds. Today, the high is forecast to reach 44 sunny degrees. We should be able to take another walk with the fur-children and my walk to the barber shop should be quite comfortable. Tuesday, there is a 90% chance of T-storms with a high temperature of 53°. Sounds like another indoor day to me.
We have no additional plans for today, however, John will be painting the upstairs bathroom.
I have to finish reading the book for our book club meeting on Wednesday. I know that some of the members will be out of town, so the meeting will be interesting. I have to make a sweet munchie for the meeting, likely cookies. That way, any leftovers will be available for me.
The sun will rise today @ 7:23 a.m. and set @ 6:32 p.m. Ciao.
