Goodmorning, everyone!! Wonderful, eventful week! Left for Iowa City at 7:30 am Friday for State Robotics Competition, 6 hour ride down there! It was all worth it, however! Our Team 6600 made it to the finals and won the round and placed 3rd overall! We have advanced to Super Regionals in Iowa City later in the year!

Didn't get back from our competition til' about 3 am, drove uptown to get some grub before I headed home and accidently met up with some friends...ended up getting home around 4:30 am! Needless to say, I didn't wake up 'til about 2, only to find out that the race had been delayed! Watched the rest of that great Daytona 500 and see my absolute idol, Dale Earnhardt Jr. win!! Lookin' forward to a great season this year!!

Good Morning EV1!
Space:
Thanks for starting our Daily Blog.

Its a Great Day in the STUMPMI household...
Dale Earnhardt Jr is the Daytona 500 Champion!
Admittedly, I was so stressed out the last 50 laps.. and with the extra cautions to the Green white checker finish... I was truly on the edge of my seat. I have been an Earnhardt fan from the onset of Dale Sr to the present... I have traded/share my loyalty now to Dale Jr to carry on the Earnhardt tradition. and keep Dale Sr's memory alive..


Tom:
keep it up and stay determined to stay quit! My stepson also recently quit and is doing great !!!

Me unfortunately,
Attempted to quit smokeing multiple times.. Yet I do plan on eventually quitting for good... DONT GIVE IN !!!! You are 5 days to the good... the nicotine s now out of your system... all you have to do is find something else to fill the gap of going thru the motions... something else to do with your hands... Break the habit... Once you retrain your brain to a new pattern your all set! That's what I needed to do to quit hard core drugs 33 yrs ago! Keep the faith!!! We got your back!

The plan for me today is to pay the shop a visit and see what progress is being done on the Monte... Maybe snap a cpl pics to possibly show you after the reveal...

Have a Great Day EV1!

Anyone get the band reference?

I got the reference, I play that one with my band whenever some drunk patron comes up and says "can er you guys play some blues" it usually makes them happy

Hope everyone is enjoying their day. In office at present trying to think of a way to get out, it's kind of nice out today and I wouldn't mind giving my car a quick bath and taking it for a drive to see some clients

Thanks `Ken for your words/posts,
I do my best to have a great day on everyone I'm given. Some days are easier then others 4-Sure...Today is testing my mettle, but I fight to not let the bad in my days brings me down & let the bad win 4-Sure. It seems to be a constant battle in life in today's world.

Some people are just lazy, ignorant & self serving. I'm sure in your professional & personal life that you can relate. I find it sad that some (many) seem to enjoy purposely hurting others...

Wish you a "Great Escape" from your office & out on2 your highways of `life...

Wish all peace/love & happiness on your Journey's 4-Sure

My word of the day (lol)
met·tle
ˈmetl/
noun

1.a person's ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way.

"the team showed their true mettle in the second half"

And thank you for the encouragement!
