Quiet Sunday
No visitors. Got that out of the way. The irony of telling someone who is not there that they haven’t been here is not lost on me. Consider it a diary at this point.
I’m probably going to spend my day working around the house and watching the do over (not Dover) NASCAR race that got rained out last night. That’s right I just admitted that I watch NASCAR. Admitting that to some people will automatically dock 15 points off of your IQ. Isn’t true though. You can watch the races and still be a normal human being.
Consider this to be my very own NASCAR version of Snopes.
True or False: NASCAR fans were the kids that rode the short bus with the tinted windows and seat belts to school.
FALSE
Note to self: Must start my NASCAR Wives and Girlfriends site.

Wow. Those aren’t in any order because I just wrote it as I thought of them. I’m sure that’s also not a complete list. How you may ask is it possible to consume that much crap on television. To state it simply, Tivo. Or for those less fortunate, DVR. It’s not as simple as just saying Tivo though. It’s actually two Tivo’s and a cable company provided DVR box.
There is one modded 360GB Series II Tivo in the living room hooked up to the big screen (*link dead), another Series II Tivo in the bedroom that mainly records the wifes “soaps”, and there is the dual-tuner DVR in the living room that also delivers the HD content. If you’re keeping score at home it’s possible to record four tuners worth of shows at a time. Also, as a backup, you know in case a live game runs long and I happen to miss part of a show there is always EZTV *updated EZTV.
