As Y’all know that well worn cliché
about time Zoom-Zooming by!
Or as
‘Ol Pink Floyd says something ‘bout another year older, tired and liking to
warm my bones besides the fire…
Nah, no
“Meet the New Year, Same as the Old Year” Jokes here! Since apparently the
Jokes upon Mwha! And I’m not talking about the weather. Which has done nothing
but pummeled us with rain upon Ye Gory Oregonian coast since New Years Day. Not
to mention being perpetually cold, but I digress…
No, the
joke is that Microsoft decided to update/modify some coding upon its All
knowing Edge internet browser. Since believe they got tired of it being
referred to as Internet Exploder! And broke the Intrawoods’ for All of us whom
use Zoomtext Fusion Screen Reading software to interface with the Digital
world, Buggers!
As I
first began not being able to “surf the Web” on New Years Eve. But didn’t learn
of this issue until contacting Zoomtext Tech Support on Friday, January 3rd.
With the workaround solution being to use Firefox Moohzillah’, after the kindly
tech support Boffin’ updated my out-of-date Moohzillah’ browser.
As this
Ain’t exactly a good sign for the New Year ahead, Eh! Although I Don’t have a
lot to say. Since it also seems fruitless of Mwah to say I’ll take it easy
scribblin’ stories here upon No Fenders for your consumption.
As once
again, I found myself getting wound-up trying to Hammer away at year’s end,
before ‘Ol Santa Claus’s arrival Ho-Ho-Ho!
Not to
mention originally scribblin’ this riveting post in the wrong text font, but I
further digress…
Arse-suming
everybody knows that Juncos Hollinger Racing announced Conor Daly as the new
chauffeur of its No. 77 entry one week before Christmas. Meaning Romain
Grosjean will now just focus upon His Sports Car career, unless He can land one
of Coyne’s two seats?
Although
hopefully nobody’s holding Thar’ breath over Dale Coyne announcing His two
IndyCar drivers anytime soon. Like I mean we’ve still got 55 days until St
Pete, Hya! Although I’m really hoping His lineup will be Rinus VeeKay and Toby
Sowery. Or Grosjean and Sowery would be fine also…
Formula
1 capped off the year with a flurry of expected announcements from Red Bull.
With Checo’ (Sergio Perez) told not to come back! And Liam Lawson filling His
seat for 2025. Along with the relatively unheard of Isack Hadjar graduating to
F1 filling Lawson’s Racing bulls seat.
The F1
grid will have a massive quarter of its seats filled by rookies. Led by
reigning Formula 2 Champion Gabriel Bortoleto at Sauber/Audi. F2 runner-up
Hadjar at RB. Oliver Bearman at Haas. Jack Doohan at Alpine and Kimi Antonelli
at Mercedes.
The
annual Dakar Rally, once again being contested in Saudia Arabia, began on
Friday, January 3rd, and ends on January 17th. Although I’ve got zero clue
who’s competing this year? Whilst Arse-sumedly with mediocre TV coverage behind
the nebulous Peacock Paywall…
Then on
Christmas day, I read that the Lamborghini SC63 IMSA GTP program will be run by
Bill Riley and His Riley Motorsports concern this season, with a single entry
in the five Michelin Endurance cup rounds.
Meanwhile,
it’s a mad scramble to poond’ out another batch o’ riveting No Fenders blog
stories for this year’s fast approaching Rolex 24. With 61 entries set to take
the green flag at Daytona International speedway on Saturday, January 25th;
just 19-days from now, Yikes!
Preceded
by the three day Roar before The Rolex 24 taking place between Jan 17-19. Which
sees the return of Qualifying moving back to
Thursday afternoon, January 23rd.
As Race
Fans, Start your Engines! But first, a ‘lil Equine adventure, Giddy Up Y’all…
