Rally, Earnhardt, Bumperstickers---Daytona, FL Nov 2, 2012

Well hello again.  It has been a while, but I haven't had anything to say--yeah right. Truth be told I never write about stuff around home. Period.  But, we are not at home now. We are at a Good Sam's Rally in Daytona, Florida located in the infield of Daytona Motorspeedway.  And yes, I have seen a couple "In Rememberance of #3 Dale Earnhardt"  signs. Geez Louise will these people ever give up? Ding, ding, ding, the answer is no. I equate those Earnhardt folks with the women that drive wittle minivans with "Soccer Mom" bumperstickers.  In the first case, those folks likely never got closer to Earnhardt than their TV screen and should get a life. In the later case, those people should find something more constructive to refer to themselves and should also get a life.  I must say I am thankful for both cases, because I can start my fun poking  session right off the bat. Let's talk more about the rally.

This rally has tons of RV related manufacturers in attendance including every motorhome made. This is truly something to see if you like RVs. As far as my eye (my good eye) can see there are RVs parked with colorful people walking around.  And the best part is that I am one of the youngest people here. Yeah buddy. RVers are known for being cheap or rather a small group of them have exemplified that behavior which ultimately resulted in the majority being given a label. Regardless,  the idjits are  plentiful and give me lots of funny ammunition to talk about in the blog.  

Yesterday we registered for the rally at the registration area located in the race car inspectors building. The event staff gave us an armful  of printed crap about the rally and one of the pieces was a couple numbers printed on huge stickers that said "find your matching number and get a free prize" or some nonsense along those lines.I knew as soon as I saw the stickers that this was going to make the blog. Well here it is. The free prize so eloquently referred to  is a stupid t-shirt that I wouldn't walk across the street to pee on to put it out if it were ablaze. But everyone was asked to wear the stickers and look for their matching numbers on the other morons wearing the numbers. Now you probably guessed The Big Ole Dumb Southern Boy ain't wearing any stupid sticker and neither is The Queen of the Big Ole Dumb Southern Boy's Doublewide. But as you can guess lots of people did and some actually carried ignorance to an American Idol level.  One woman walked up to me and shouted a number in my face and said something trailer trashy about being her match. I thought that my only match with her would be my big ole hairy butt and her face, but my big ole hairy butt had less hair than the monkey butt that she called a face.  This woman probably was in the Dale Earnhardt trailer. What compels a woman to obsess over a t-shirt other than stupidity or Jim Beam? Holy moly, I would have to remove half my brain to be married to her.

Tomorrow, I am going to walk the raceway's track which is only about 3.5 miles.  That is less than my daily walk so it shouldn't be too much trouble other than the 30 degree banked turns. Yes, ladies and gentleman, I did say 30 degree paved turns and that is physics at its best. The Love Boat is moored about 100 yards from the track's finish line  in the infield.  I think the road we abut  (no abut not my big ole hairy butt) is part of the motorcycle or infield racing track. Beats me how that works, however, the inner track is now the walking path for the attendees going  to and from their Earnhardt decorated  manufactured mobile housing units. This  huge track is a little town all to itself with Yankees, Big ole Dumb Southern boys, Doublewide Queens, every breed of dog ever known, and idjits with Earnhardt and "Are You My Match"  stickers as inhabitants.  For a guy like me with a sense of humor this place is superb.

In case you picked up on the reference to The Love Boat, yes we are in old motorhome. The new motorhome is moored in Raleigh and mired in a lawsuit to which I cannot discuss. I can say that the new motorhome's odometer was tampered with. I can't discuss this further until after the lawyers finish. I will gladly name names later.

Kenny Rogers is the entertainment tonight and Reba McEntire is tomorrow. I am going to carry my camera today because I don't have words to describe some of the stuff that I see. Oh, I have not seen a BO for prez bumpersticker in the entire area but dozens of Romney ads.

Bye for now.
