This picture is from the Truckee DOT inspection station from a trip to Reno, my wife and I took a couple of years ago. I hadn't driven a tractor-trailer for some 20 years, but I still had anxiety passing the inspection station. I never had a problem with that station, even though I was pulled in numerous times. It was a beautiful day for a drive, and we took the scenic route back towards Reno on Donner Pass Road....]]></description><link>https://www.hardspununcleduffy.com/post/random-facebook-post-of-the-day</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ff5c4238e3e83040ebcec2</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 16:16:55 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57fce9_1c93915e509c44f4b46392b23151543a~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_720,h_960,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Shea Heesacker</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf Betting This Week]]></title><description><![CDATA[I am throwing way too many darts out there this week. It could be painful with an extra PGA event. I went with Aberg on my year-long one-and-done. Akshay is probably my favorite bet if one of the top players doesn't win at Quail Hollow. I like Rai and Li the best at Myrtle Beach. Chacarra is due on the DP World tour and will be pulling for Guido, too.  Nelly Korda is giving everyone else a chance this week. Ruoning Yin is my favorite bet there.]]></description><link>https://www.hardspununcleduffy.com/post/golf-betting-this-week</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fbe9844f7ebdc9f6a433cf</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 01:31:56 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Shea Heesacker</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kentucky Derby Recap]]></title><description><![CDATA[I wasn't too far off the mark early in the card.

I have narrowed in on some key horses throughout the day to manage the price on pick 4s and pick 5s. Again, tread lightly early; we don't want to lose the farm in the first couple of races. I think the 5 Splendora is a standout in race 4. I also like the 1 Englishman quite a bit in race 8. With the scratch of the 20 in the Derby, I will be leaning heavily on the 12 Chief Wallabee, with some tickets having the...]]></description><link>https://www.hardspununcleduffy.com/post/derby-day</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f566117b1c42fb24f4385d</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 02:48:59 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Shea Heesacker</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kentucky Oaks Recap]]></title><description><![CDATA[I treaded water today for sure. I had a near miss or two, but not real big score misses. I was surprised to see the early pick 5 only paid around $9,000. I am alive in the Oaks-Turf-Derby and the Oaks-Derby double. The 5 in the last would have been really helpful. I was relatively pleased with my handicapping.
