Best Reba song is fancy
This pretty much sums it up

Ya the old rock songs are good. One of my favorite bands is The Mamas and Papas. You know, you can’t go wrong with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, those types of bands. Can’t think of them all now. And the old country ones too. Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and, lots of them.

Some on here may like John Prine singing "Sam Stone", "Paradise" or "Clay Pigeon", youtube them. I like a little of most kinds of music, but John for the most part had a pretty slow laid back style, which is what I like, kind of a folk music style. He was a little bit of a story teller too, sometimes describing how he came about writing what he was going to sing next. For me, he was at the top, but I also understand how some may never of heard of him. He was widely recognized by his peers and had quite a cult following, just not on the grand scale of some. I have been sad about his passing even though I never did see him in person. I felt the same when Dale Earnhardt passed.
Been watching Molly B Polka Party since 9 pm cdt. She has a variety of band/orchestra's on so a big variety of music. Some good, some really butchered. Before that was Paul Overstreet and Muletown in the round. Recorded live in Columbia, TN. Show was created by Rory Feek.
He's a singer-songwriter. Equally prolific at both. Put it this way....Nobody writes songs like John Prime and nobody can sing Prine songs like Prine.
Most of his songs are based in country/bluegrass/folk.
Make sure it's the black stuff Noel. The red will leave you with throbnoggin.
I haven;t found any craft beer I could say I liked. I think ig I tried on before drinking any others one would probably pop out there. My old stand by is Bush light. Probably from the many years I worked at the local track and Bush was the sponsor. Our pay was a keg of Bush Beer when the night was over. Being it was a half mile dirt track we were ready to say the least.
Busch beer and dirt track racing is an American staple! Back when raced dirt track I consumed more Busch light than I have in my life...
I remember those nights.
I always loved taking a shower after a race and the water going down the drain would be full on brown. Your skin felt gritty afterwards.
What a blast. They closed all of our local tracks down. Gotta go about 2 hours to hit one now. Wouldn't make sense to tow a car that far for me nowadays. Especially since the pay outs are so low for anything but late models. I'd like to do a street stock Monte Carlo. Used to run a mustang and a novice class monte carlo.
Our local 1/2 mile High Banked oval won't run this year of course but has run every year for 35 or more years, about all under NASCAR. We used to get cars from 3 - 4 hours driving time away every week. The Kosiski boys and now the sons are regulars out of Omaha. Kyle Berk, who now runs the hi powered bigger money circuit ran here for a few years. Kyle introduced the Flex Frame chassis to the late model class. He was outrunning everybody, on the corners his left front wheel would be off the track 6 - 8 inches and never loose control. You think that didn't cause and uproar. Regional Director for NASCAR even showed up and done a surprise inspection of the car, and not only visual. Found nothing wrong. Yep, those were the good old days.
If you drink Busch Lite you would never handle FAXE. It's far from a craft beer and definitely not lite.
Most craft beer I've ever tried tasted like someone dumped a full ashtry in it then mixed it with a burnt stick---LOL! Never heard of Faxe around here.
Still away from Floater's subject, but I also spent a big part of my life at the local half-mile dirt track. It is still in business (not at this time though, obviously) and has been for 68 years now. It has struggled a lot but keeps going. Was a crew member for 25 years, 17 with the same owner/driver. That track is sticky clay and if prepared right, would not create much dust and would remain tacky all night. The pits was where the dust came from, back in the 70's and 80's. Racers started wanting the dry-slick trend to slow cars and save engines and drive trains so due to that demand the dust came along with it. I lettered most of the track's signs and 2-300 hundred cars total for many years. I lost track of how many, but in 1994 I lettered 28 of them. Highest count I can remember for me. Still do one every other year or so. Digital printing has the market now, doing wraps.
I'd dig seeing some pics of your cars, Aaron! Probably should be a new thread.

I'll have to see if my buddy Scott has any. I know I don't. Camera phones sucked, digital cameras were expensive and I didn't own a film camera. They weren't pretty. Just rattle can paint jobs and bodies patched with tin and rivets! This was in 2002 to 2004 seasons.
We had 2 1987 monte Carlos. 1989 ford cougar and a 1984 mustang 4 cylinder. And we piddled with a 1999 dodge neon r/t enduro. Extreme budget builds. Junkyard cars. Junkyard engines. Junkyard everything. The only nice thing we had was 2 racing seats and 2 sets of harnesses. We had to swap those between cars....
We explodes more 302s in that cougar than I can count. we would literally change engines at the track. eventually found a Lincoln with a 5.0 fuel injected engine in it. We converted it to a 4 barrel. That motor would take a pounding. Still ran at the end of the 04 season. We could never get the gearing right. Run in 2nd and you'd bounce limiter on the straight. Change tire size up a size and you'd bog. Never got it quite right..
Photos on the web page only go back to 2009 now.

The only years I actually drove, Aaron was 1986-1988, also enduro type racing. 1972 Cadillac Coupe Deville. Ran it in 10 enduros. 200 laps or two hours, whichever came first. Those were dusty---LOL! Finally got in the money 3 times in 1988, out of four enduros that year.

I haul lots of craft beer. One of our trailers decalled. My favourite Lake of the Woods beer is Sultana while my local favourite from Sleeping Giant Brewery is 360 Ale. 360 with a big dollop of cafe mocha ice cream and that's a adult float! I never buy big brewery beer, its all bland for the most part taste the same, nothing spectacular IMO
Here's a little bit of Kenora history you may not be aware of Jazz. There used to be a brewery there during the fourties (I'm guessing...it was before my time and may have even been earlier). It was right close to the narrows between the mainland and the island in the part of town called Lakeside. The old buildings were torn down around 1955 or so and the town was flooded with beer labels that we kids scavenged fanatically. I was in grade six and we all folded and wove the labels into belts, hair bands etc. for weeks on end. I wish I had thought far enough ahead to save some of the labels, they were beautiful and a piece of history that is now long lost.
The beer you mentioned, Sultana? There was a gold mine out on Lake of the Woods named Sultana. It was long abandoned when we used to go out on the lake fishing and would pull up on the shore for lunch and explored the remains of the buildings. I remember the huge beams and broken wooden boxes filled with round, smooth core samples from drilling.
