Day 88 - NASCAR Sunday

I’ve mentioned before about how I wound up watching NASCAR for the first time. Here we are years later having watched dozens of races on TV and even a couple in person. As we watched the races from Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida on TV today, I’m reminded of our visit to the same racetrack a couple years back. It was Championship Weekend and the place was packed.

After experiencing a couple days of in-person racing we decided we much prefer watching the races from the comfort of our recliners.

I have someone sharing the recliner with me today who agrees. Although I don’t know if Sage is cheering the drivers on or trying to do the wave. Whichever it is, he’s excited!

Day 87 - A Messy Machine

The more quilting I've done on the Wrestling Quilt AKA the Fabric Headache Quilt AKA the Procrastination Quilt, the more my sewing machine has been making weird noises. So today I decided to take things apart, clean the machine up, and get some oil to it. Probably a good thing I did, too.

Here's where I started:

A fuzzy mess

Here's what it looks like now:

Pretty and shiny

I suspect my machine will now hum away just fine!
