Next generation of the Busch family to Debut at LVMS Bullring

Next generation of the Busch family to Debut at LVMS Bullring

Next generation of the Busch family to Debut at LVMS Bullring

 

The first family of Las Vegas motorsports will add to the family legacy on Saturday, March 4 when Brexton Busch makes his West Coast Bandolero debut in the Bash at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

 

Busch, the 7-year old son of two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch, has already made an impression in the racing world racking up wins at tracks around the country. He is coming off an impressive 2022 season which saw him win 32 races at 13 different tracks across 11 states in two separate styles of racecars. He also was able to collect his second track championship in as many years, claiming the title in the Beginner Box Stock division at Mountain Creek (N.C.) Speedway.

 

As part of his progression into various styles of racecars at tracks all over the country, on March 4 he will make his first Bandolero start on the track his father racked up more than 100 wins across several divisions.

 

 

“It’s going to be a lot of fun to race at the same track that my Dad, Grandpa Tom and Uncle Kurt have a lot of wins at,” Busch said. ‘”I haven’t raced my Bandolero much, but hopefully I can get the win!”

 

The Bullring opened in 1985 with Brexton’s grandfather, Tom Busch, winning the first ever race. Brexton’s uncle, former NASCAR champion Kurt Busch, picked up more than 30 wins during the 1990s at the Bullring.

 

The March 5 event will also include a Legends car feature and racing will start approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Alsco Uniforms 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the LVMS superspeedway. Admission to the grandstands is free and a limited number of shuttles will be available from the superspeedway to the Bullring.

What Comes in the Multo® Box

 

Oma strives to give her family fresh “clean” food. Homemade butter is a source of fats that are healthier than commercially available butters. The latter contain trans-fats, which may result in weight gain and may harm your health in other ways as well.

 

However, making our own butter has always been a chore in the past. It proved to be very messy (using my KitchenAid) and time consuming (Hand Churning). Therefore, Oma was eager to give Multo® an opportunity to impress me.

 

Spoiler Alert – the Multo® went above and beyond.

 

 

The butter recipe is included in the Multo® ever-expanding recipe library. You just follow the detailed instruction via your Smart Kitchen Hub tablet. (Insert butterfly whisk. Add cream to the mixing bowl and whisk for 5 minutes / speed 4.)

 

 

The wholesome butter is halfway there. (Drain the buttermilk from the butter. Scrape down the sides and add the cold water. Wash the butter for 1 minute / speed 3. This will help to get a smoother butter. Drain the butter of the excess water then add the salt if you wish. (I leave the salt out) Mix for 1 minute / speed 3.)

 

 

Your butter is ready. WoW – how easy was that!?!

 

 

Remove from mixing bowl pass through a cheesecloth and shape as desired.

 

 

 

Oma Tip: Separate the butter in half. Remove your butter a couple of hours before use to soften; making spreading easier. The other half can stay in the refrigerator to retain freshness longer.

 

With my busy schedule and love of yummy healthy nourishment – I love how the Cooking Pal Multo® performs!

 

What is next? Oma is going to make it her mission to attend at least one Cooking Pal Interactive Cooking Classes weekly.  Oma is eager to tackle more complicated cuisine.

Greenlight Debit Card for Kids On Board the #27 of J.J. Yeley

Greenlight Debit Card for Kids On Board the #27 of J.J. Yeley

Every account is FDIC-insured


Greenlight Debit Card for Kids On Board the #27 of J.J. Yeley #NASCAR


Have you discovered the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids? I hadn’t until I learned that the company was sponsoring J.J. Yeley for the All Star Open. As an Oma (Dutch Grandmother) to five youngsters, I found this concept both awesomely timely and efficient.

J.J. Yeley, in the #27, will start the Open from the thirteenth position in his Rick Ware Racing Ford. Yeley competes full time in the top NASCAR Series. He was the 2001 and 2003 USAC Sprint Cup Champion; the 2002 and 2003 USAC Silver Crown Champion; and the 2003 USAC “Triple Crown” Winner. J.J. has three hundred and seven (307) cup races under his belt.

As cash usage dwindles, the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids Teens, and College Students provides parents an efficient convenience while teaching their youngsters good money habits. These app-based cards put parents in control, while letting kids learn from their mistakes without getting into serious trouble for only $4.99 per month!

Why Parents Choose Greenlight

Chore management
  • First month free. No contracts. • Includes debit cards for up to five kids • No minimum age. No minimum balance. • No transaction, international or overdraft fees • Their first replacement cards are on us
  • Turn “Do I have to?” into “All done!” Create in-app chore lists and tie the work to perks.

Allowance on autopilot
  • Automatically transfer allowances to kids’ accounts and help them divvy up their earnings between their Spend, Save and Give accounts.

Instant transfers to kids’ cards
  • Send money instantly to your kids' accounts anytime, anywhere. And everyone sleeps a little bit better.

Real-time transaction notifications
  • Get an alert any time the card is used, including when it’s declined for any reason. You always know when, where and how much money they’re spending.

Store-specific spend controls
  • Greenlight is the only debit card that lets you select each store where kids are allowed to spend. If they try to spend where they shouldn’t, we’ll alert you immediately.

Educational app for kids
  • A special version of the Greenlight app* lets kids track balances, work chore lists and more.
  • *App is optional; kids without smart devices can still use their cards.

Switch card on or off from the app
  • If a card is lost or stolen, you can immediately disable it in the Greenlight app. And then switch it back on when the card turns up in the laundry.

Save the change with Round Ups
  • It’s the digital version of putting spare change in a piggy bank. Kids can round up purchases to the next dollar and automatically add the change to their savings. Even when they’re spending, they’re saving.

Parent-Paid Interest on savings
  • Set and pay interest on your kids’ Save accounts, teaching them the magic of compound growth. Turn your savers into super savers!

Personal savings goals
  • Greenlight helps kids set real savings goals and track their progress toward reaching them, all in the app. Someday, they’ll thank you.

ATM parental controls
  • You choose whether your kids can use their cards at ATMs and how much cash they can withdraw. Every parent’s new best friend.

Direct deposit
  • Teens with jobs can set up direct deposit and have their paychecks sent straight to their Greenlight account, so their money is all in one place.

Enabled for Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Kids can add their Greenlight card as an Apple Pay or Google Pay payment method* so they can tap and pay in an instant. *Subject to Apple Pay and Google Pay age requirements.

Referral bonus
  • When you refer someone to Greenlight, you’ll both get $10. (Along with our endless appreciation.)

Balance tracking
  • See all historic activity in your kids’ Spend, Save and Give accounts. Your kids are about to become budgeting pros.

Remember to tune in to watch J.J. Yeley in the NASCAR All-Star Open. It is scheduled to take the green flag at 7:00 p.m. (ET). The All-Star Open consists of a three-stage sprint at Bristol. The Open contains two thirty-five (35) -lap segments and an exciting fifteen (15) -lap shootout at the end. The winner of each stage in the Open advances to the rear of the All-Star Race field.

Go J.J. and Greenlight

08/20/2019 No Travel Day – Happy 65th Birthday


Start Location:
Start Time: N/A
Mileage:  58,802.0
Cost Per Night: $??? USD
Weather: 78 – 102 F Sunny & Muggy

Happy Birthday to me. I cannot believe that I am of the age to collect Social Security and be on Medicare!!!

Paul and Moses started their boat dock project at 7:00 this morning. After some paperwork, I was off for a day at the pool. Moses’ home is very conveniently located by the clubhouse. I parked in his driveway, walked across a small parking lot and was there.

It was a big water aerobics class – at least forty women and three gentlemen. They were all very nice and made me feel very welcome.

We lunched in the clubhouse; then the guys went back to work for a few hours.

For dinner, we all went to Miyako Sushi Bar - Japanese Restaurant for my Birthday. The sushi (California Roll and Eel) and hibachi New York Steak with Shrimp were perfectly prepared. Our chef was funny and efficient. Unfortunately, our waitress was badly in need of training; however, that did not dampen our celebratory spirit.

A visit to the Home Depot was next as the boys needed brackets and knee pads for their work in the morning. Zack called to wish me a happy birthday. He was on the way to our home to cut the pool cover as promised. He sent a photo and it look so inviting. I also received texts from my bro Charles. What a wonderful birthday on the road!

Wildlife Spotted: Squirrel; Paul saw ducks, turtles, and fish while working on the dock

08/19/2019 No Travel Day – Out on the New Boat


Start Location:
Start Time: N/A
Mileage:  58,802.0
Cost Per Night: $??? USD
Weather: 79 – 103 F Sunny & Muggy

Despite going to bed after 11:00 p.m., we were up pretty early. Moses had told us that we would be taking the boat out before the heat became unbearable. His shop takes Sundays and Mondays off.

First off, Paul ordered the material for their boat dock project. Then we spent the morning on Moses’ boat. I have never seen Wake Surfing. It was delightful. Lake Granbury is stunning, and Moses’ new  boat was so much fun.

After lunch in the RV, I gathered the paperwork to obtain a reimbursement for our AC Repair. The Viking RV Extended Warranty we purchased with the Beast has really paid off. They have been fair and helpful.

Paul and Moses went lumber shopping. They hope to get some of the boat dock modification done tomorrow. Paul received a call from Viking; they had already approved our repair and the reimbursement check was in the mail!

We ended the day with a nice family dinner at ‘Mi Familia.’ They made the guacamole at your table. The food was very good. My Spinach and Mushroom enchiladas seem to be freshly made. They were simple and enjoyable; just the right portions.
