re: 2026 NASCAR Season Thread

Its kind of crazy really, Toyota can recover from mistakes and pass while other manufacturers never recover, I have to be a conspiracy nut but they did sue NASCAR and now they are the class of the field every weekend
Served his country as well and in an actual unit not a unit for celebrities
Basically that the drainage was not good and that the grading by the wall was crap
I did a benchmark system with him as he completed steps I paid him for that specific task. He started off strong like all "contractors" do but has fallen off crazy style

Side note: I arrived home yesterday and he was working with a consultant on the retaining wall, funny thing is the consultant was chewing him out on what he needed to do and what he did wrong....the look on my contractors face was priceless because I heard what the consultant said and he probably didn't want me to
He did do footers I’m thinking it was the teenagers and other “workers” he had doing the job. He is blaming all short comings on rain it’s like a built in excuse
The bad thing is the GC had great reviews highly recommended, and I saw some previous work that was stellar
Additionally, he was a family business where his sons were working as well probably 17 and 18 years old, I did catch them working unsupervised on occasion, which I voiced concern and he promptly started supervising
I have not paid him in full but about 75% has been paid
I am in Mississippi and it seems that the GC I hired is basically done with the job in his mind (retaining Wall and Concrete Slab for shop). Specifically, the wall has a lean in it and the slab has some lazy work on it.
There is no way that Hamlin is no dominant without an advantage…he did sue nascar hmmmm
Terrible race Hamlin won by 10 seconds….how the hell can you go from last to first two weeks in a row
I’ve seen first hand recently where the unsuccessful beneficiaries got more than the successful becuase they already had thier shite together….also where step children got more family land than the actually blood family it was a mess

Contractor Woes

Posted by Skip Winkman on 3/19/26 at 8:37 am
I live in a decent neighborhood, no mansions just decent size houses with a couple acre lots, I had a contractor quote me $36,000 dollars for a stone retaining wall. Since I live in a decent neighborhood this clown is adding to the price because he thinks we are well off. I have context because unknown to the contractor he quoted a friend of mine lower for the same project who lives in a standard cookie cutter neighborhood. Am I crazy to feel this way.

Liberal media reaction to Iran

Posted by Skip Winkman on 2/28/26 at 8:56 am
They are not happy at all. They want to defend Iran but can’t. Even to moderators on the news shows are trying to keep the libs from going to far because of how stupid they sound
