SrSo I'm coming home today from school and I stop at my mailbox before I go inside my house. I open it, and I see this big white envelope that I'm so accustomed to getting nowadays; however, today I notice that this one is an attention grabber, as it is a package from Emerson!

Chief187I am soooooooooo behind in writing to you. By the way, you write the lovliest thank you notes : ) Are you starting to pack for school?

SrI am enjoying summer very much! Of course, I still have to deal with college applications (I finished the one for University of Missouri!) and all my work for AP English, scholarships and the continuing process of preparing for the SAT/ACT, but it will all pay off! I'm turning 17 this Friday so I'll be able to take a slight break that day :)

Profilehey Joe, Things are good down here in the south. Still needing rain, but things are good. Have you had the chance to catch any races this year? Keep in touch and have a great weekend..

Img_5012Joe! Yes. Becky speaks the truth...a true highlight of my summer that was! We had this huge storm plow through here yesterday. Freaked me out. My kids were all over town and I was stuck at work getting all these tornado warning emails!!! Everything is fine now except 32,000 people are without cable or internet! I'm glad you had a good graduation. And really...my best to you as you head off to college. It's a time of enormous growth in your life! Enjoy it while you can!!!!

Carl_aflacSummer is going great! The highlight was Susie and I got to meet each other and attended the race at MIS together, big fun :) We also went and toured Jack Roush's museum and basically had the place to ourselves, it was cool :)

ProfileHey Joe, Just wanted to stop by and say hi, I heard about your graduation and thats just awesome. CONGRATS.

Profilehey joe, have you tried out the game challenge module, i am not a giant gamer but really have fun with it, you are such a great rowdy supporter, curious what you think

Carl_aflacCongratulations! Good job Joe!

Chief187Happy graduation, Joe! We are so happy for you and wish you only the best as you enter the next exciting phase of your life. I will get something in the mail to you this week!!! I posted a blog honoring you - hope people comment... Just know how special you are to the 187s : )

SrTomorrow! I know you're very excited & you'll have plenty of pictures for us, right?

GijoeHey, that's outstanding to hear! All is going alright here... a few rough spots here and there but that's to be expected. Hope you won't be working your butt off over the summer like I did. Have some fun!

Img_5012Many, many congratulations to you, Joe. You have a very bright future!!!

Profilesweet prom pics, very cool.

GijoeHey, you guys look great in the prom pics. Hope the prom itself went well.

Chief187Joe! These prom pictures are terrific! You look dashing and your date is simply lovely! Thank you for posting them. Sadie left you a message - we are trying to meet up in July. We'll get you here somehow! Miss you. And, yes, I know I owe you an email...it will get to you!

100_0768Thanks for the prom pictures.

ProfileJoe, miss the weather updates but I am sure you have other things to fill your time, curious what you think of Driver Zone. take care.

Bristol_stageParty at the 187's! :) I'll tell Chief. Would love to all get together!

100_0768Hi Joe. I want ed to congratulate you on your upcoming graduation. Has your senior year flown by?

Chief187Hi Joe! It was great to see your handsome avatar on my site! I am, of course, thrilled to hear an email is on the way : ) As always, no rush/pressure/guilt. When time permits! I miss the weather from you! We go to Hershey in a few weeks - can you still hook me up with your awesome forecasts?!

Bristol_stageJOE! Thanks for the Bday wishes! And NO way are we letting you leave for school without meeting first! :) Its a must. Are you going to any races this summer?

Chief187Ugh, I'm "egg-on-her-face girl" for promising a response and blowing it. Sorry. I know you aren't angry, but I still feel badly. It's coming...the chapter is coming your way...really. How ARE your senior year final months going?!

SrHey you! You're coming around to the homestretch! When is your graduation & Where are you going past there?

Chief187Joe, Joe, Joe! I feel like you just busted me!!! I'm so very sorry I am behind on my correspondence with you. I have no legitimate excuse, so I will write to you before the weekend. How are YOU?!?! Can't wait to read all about your life - but I know I owe you a chapter first ; )

Chief187Hi Joe! I will write, promise!! Hope you are well. Miss you : )

MeHaha that sucks..nope, rest of the day after that and the teachers still feel compelled to give us homework and hammer us. I had another 4 page test and another essay in History yesterday! Talk about a fried brain! I'm glad they took the science off, even though thats going to be my, um, major. Yesterday was probably the worst..but it will ALL be over in 4 hours! WOOHOOO!

MeWell........HSPA's aren't TERRIBLE but they aren't fun either! lol..ONE MORE DAY, Joe, ONE MORE DAY! 2 essays this morning, 2 open ended, an essay tomorrow, two stories, 4 open ended. Ahhhhhhhhh

RacetalkbuttonFontana is a tricky forecast...I spent 15 years forecasting west coast weather and it acts different than east of the Rockies! The models did pretty good out to seven days on this pattern, which shocked me! Dennis

Me_and_ajsure did... ITs about time they called it they should have called it like 10 hours ago LMAO

MeI am so P-I-S-T mad right now its hard to type a sentence without an F bomb. Toying with us for 12 hours is ridiculous. NASCAR didn't care, all they wanted to do was get that STUPID race at that USELESS track in. NOW I lost 5 hours of sleep I NEEDED. ARGH! Oh well. Good night. Enjoy whatever part of the race you see tomorrow

MeI'm not too too worried about them, the only problem I'll have is if there is Chemistry. I didn't take chemistry. We go out on the bus with Ag class the first two classes, so I don't have a huge opportunity to sleep..but I have off of work tomorrow too so I can sleep after school

MeMe too...if you count NASCAR now at 10AM we're at a total of 15 hours. 1:30 AM is BS...luckily HSPA's start NEXT week and not this week.

MeMe too...I mean, now 2AM? Whats the point of going to bed?

Profile_5We knew instantly that the email on the show was from you . . . it was from you right?

Profilehey Joe, Haven't talked with you in a while. just wanted to say Hi! and send me some sunshine man i'm tired of all this ice and snow. :)

ProfileDuuuuuuuuuude.... thanks for the shout out on the show. That gave us a big boost!!!

Chief187I feel the same way about you, Joe!! Have a great time wherever you are going. You are certainly a man on the move of late! Good for you : ) I am so very, very, very happy for you! And, honestly, feel you made the very best decision for YOU! I will write back. I'll try to have it for you by Sun. night. Be well, be safe, and have FUN!!! Oh, and your weather forecasts Rock Rowdy to the Max!!!!!!!!

Chief187You know us better than that - time is NEVER an issue with us. I'm so very ecstatic for you and your huge, great news!!!!! Over-the-moon excited!!!! Congratulations and best of everything to you. I will write back...when time permits. Florida was great but of course there are stories ; ) Thanks for the email and I will write asap. Have a great day and I'm so happy our weatherman is back at Rowdy! : )

Chief187Dude, you never followed up with an email about your big news....all I hear in my head is a continual loop of the Final Jeopardy music!!! Oh, and secondly, are you getting our weather reports going for Daytona? The Rowdy Nation DEPENDS on you!!!! W/B when your schedule allows (you are so cool!) ; )

Carl_aflacCongrats on the college acceptance! Yes, I really beelieve that the Ford's will be heard from this year :)

ProfileHiya Joe! Glad to see you're still with us! And congrats on the college acceptances!

Me_and_aji am soooo ready for the season to start up :)

Chief187You have surely peaked my interest! I'll be checking my email next (no pressure), and am glad you sound so positive! Florida is great - not too hot so you'd love it this time of year : ) Tomorrow is our 1st day in the Parks - Magic Kingdom here we come! Still, I'm thinking about you - thanks for the shout! Talk soon : )

Me_and_ajJoe i just now saw the comment you left on my poem.. Sorry it took me a week... Thakns for the kind words.. I love writing poetry.. and I have been workin on a Novel since 2004.. Right now im takin a break from it tho.. Hope things are going well! Cant wait for the weather videos to return.. Crystal

LaJoe- CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy to hear about your wonderful school dilemma. I'm sure you'll make the right decision. Glad you're back!

Img_5012Yes, congrats to you on your excellent acceptance, Joe from Jersey!!! I don't hang around here too much these days...so it's good that you are back! I've been skiing a ton - but now I have an overuse injury (quad tendinitis) because I'm over 40 but I still think I'm 25. Who knew?

Me_and_88_avatarHey Joe! Actually I have been around Rowdy long enough to catch your previous pre-race forecasts. I joined about 2 months or so before we switched up to the new site, so I got to experience both versions.

Racer187_pocono08Thanks for the wishes. Chief has ben keeping me up to date on your decision predicament. I'm sure you will make a good decision either way. Enjoy the rest of your senior year! Sharp picture, Mr. Bond.

ProfileCollege Boy!!!!! Congrats on getting in.

Bristol_stageHandsome new photo Joe! "Jersey. Joe From Jersey." So Bond of you. Great to see you back on Rowdy! We missed you too! Congrats on getting in to Emerson! That rocks. I'm doing great. I'm in Packers football heaven. Going to the game this weekend. :)

Profilehey joe, nice new avatar! what ya been up to? looking forward to your weather updates. It's a little chilly here in indiana today. have a good one and chat with ya soon.

Chief187Thanks for the email, Joe! I got you back so check your account : )

Carl_aflacHI! Glad to see you! The "crowd" is slowly coming back from the off season :)

L_2a9518892c23d6062cde8a4a6c138c26its almost time for you to get back to work you ready? need some weather updates again! congrats on the college search!

Chief187Hi Joe! I just wanted to let you know that I am trying to get more Rowdy regularly and whenever time permits, I'd love an email from you. I know these are such exciting/busy/weighty times for you. I am your cheerleader in North Jersey : )

Copy_of_picture_014Hey Joe Happy New Year!

ProfileWishing you a Merry Christmas and a ROWDY New Year!!!

Racer187_pocono08Nice look on the comic strip!

P1011474bCongrats on your college choice, Joe! Good luck to you.

Carl_aflacThings are good! Don't tell anyone, but I am a real "grinch" when it comes to the holidays. Maybe if I had young kids it would be more fun ...

Sweet_victory_2Hey, Joe. Good to hear from you. Congratulations on the college front!

Chief187Hi Joe, I know it's a little late, but CONGRATULATIONS on Lyndon - not just getting in (which we knew you would), but for the monetary incentive to attend. I did that at my school and was thrilled! We are all so happy for you!! Whenever you get to that email is fine. You know I love to hear from you, but I can be patient (no matter what Racer says!). ; )

Chief187Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! : )

Racer187_pocono08Happy TG!

Bristol_stageHey Joe! So this is way late but we definitely need to all get together before you leave for school! DUH! Next fall right? If we can't get together before next fall somewhere, we will come visit you at school. Seriously. :) Where are you attending?

Chief187Hi - I've sent you something via Rowdy email and will write much longer on your personal email VERY soon... Thanks for finding me : )

Racer187_pocono08I believe midterms went well. I'll find out this evening when I get to class, but the results should be good. The racing at Summit Point this past weekend was phenomenal. I had a great time and the Daimler ran flawlessly. I saw my best man for the first tim e in a few years and he took a lot of pics with his 10MP camera. I'm STILL downloading on the other computer from his website.

Img_5012Thanks Joe from Jersey!!! Matt's a class act. Even the bad stuff makes him better. Guess what I saw today? The first snow flake of the upcoming winter!!! Yay!!!

LaHey Joe! So glad to hear that you are having a great Senior year! You've been missed, but it's great to hear you are doing well! Remember to let us know if you ever swing up to NYC!

Sweet_victory_2Joe, great to hear from you again. Things have been busy at work, but I try to get Rowdy whenever I can.

ProfileI didn't think you were ignoring me; I knew you've been busy, so no worries! Just missed seeing you around :). I'm nowhere near the fires, but thanks for the concern!

Bristol_stageI've missed you my #1 weather man! I was in C-Ville this past weekend for a wedding (was able to stop by Rowdy HQ for a little chit chat) and we had crap weather for the two days leading up to the wedding. I wanted to email you for you to tell me everything was going to be ok but alas, it was bright sunshine and 75 on Saturday. Good stuff! I'll be back in full Rowdy form next week. Work is kicking my butt!

Profiledude, good to have you back!

ProfileWelcome back to Rowdy land.

Racer187_pocono08Masters in Environmental Engineering. Chief made it sound like you were a shoe-in for Lyndon and that you had pretty much decided to go. What happens if you get into Emerson?

Racer187_pocono08I'm taking two classes, an easy basic engineering class called mechanics that I once aced 20 years ago, but at a different school and it wouldn't transfer, and a graduate level soils class. How's senior year going for you? What schools are on your application list?

Racer187_pocono08It's a busy friggin weekend. I'm studying for mid-terms, doing homework. I have mid-terms on Monday and Tuesday night. I gotta prep the racecar and get it on the trailer some time this weekend, as soon as the rain lets up. I took it off the trailer from our last event and need to do a wheel/brake/suspension inspection, then load it up again. I'll be racing next weekend at Summit Point, WV. Busy busy busy!

Img_5012Just waiting for snow now...Buck Hill here I come!!!

Img_5012As soon as I saw your forecast, I thought -- JOE!!! You're back. I was MIA for a while as well -- until I could figure out some computer stuff. I'm back to good now. You, my friend, were MISSED!!!

Carl_aflacJOE! It's so good to hear from you! Glad things are settling down for you. Really glad you'll be around here some more! I was having a bad morning and you cheered me right up! :)

ProfileYou Rock>>Therefore You Rowdy!

ProfileHey Joe, hope all is well! Miss you.

Chief187Your my high school hero! : ) Can't wait to chat when time permits...

Racer187_pocono08You're alive! I'd heard rumours that you were still out there, but I thought it was a myth. Chief assures me your school year is extremely busy. Hope your finding time to have some fun too. All work and no play... unless work IS play...

Rrmhay dude nice to see you back

466575225_414efe81a3_mWelcome Back Joe! Whats the weather like in New Hampshire?

466575225_414efe81a3_mWelcome Back Joe! Whats the weather like in New Hampshire?

SrHow is senior year going so far? You haven't caught the senioritis bug have you?! I've mostly definitely caught junioritis - I'd fight for a cure if I didn't have so much homework.

Chief187Tag, you're it!!!!!! ; )

Rrmglad to see you i hoe all is well

Me_and_ajHope all is well Joe!

ProfileOMG, there you are! You somehow didn't make it to 2.0 as my friend, and I wasn't seeing anything from you.... I worried you dropped off the face of the nation! Glad you're still with us, even if your assigned "profile number" really is really bad.

Chief187I'm NOT picking, but you mentioned on my 'shouts' that you'd email me the next chapter, "now". I don't have it and it is hours later. Yes, I know you have a life, but I'm wondering if you need me to message you my email again... Hope you are having a fun-filled night : )

MeDon't think I have gotten to talk to you on 2.0 yet! How are you doing??

Chief187I owe you such a long chapter...and I'm good for it. I hope your job is good and that you have the most wonderful senior year EVER!! School starts here tomorrow. Did you start today? I am anxious to hear every minute detail... Miss you!!!!!!!!

ProfileHey Joe, I have not heard from you in awhile and just wanted to make sure you doing good. Hope all is well. Are you getting use to Rowdy 2.0? Keep in touch!!

100_0768Tell your Uncle that everyone here is Boone is going nuts over the U of M win. They carried the goal post all through campus.

Img_5012Joe! You're here! I was just thinking about you...yes, finally we have BEAUTIFUL weather - 70s, sunny, just in time for school to start :-). I'll look for your weather blogs - I know you're busy. You are not going to college yet, right? You're a great kid!!! We are lucky to have you here...Susie

Bristol_stageJoe!!! My buddy!! So good to see ya! Thanks for stopping by my page...I know how it goes - i'm crazy busy too. Just got back from Bristol last weekend (check out my video!) and im off to WI this weekend for more fun. Its been non stop travel and work! YES! We are totally still on for Dover. I'm flying in that morning to Philly from WI (I have a wedding to go to Sat night) so I may very well arrive still wearing my dress. :) Can't wait to meet you!

Chief187I got a few of your messages on my shoutbox in a row...glad you're okay and on the site. Can't spend much time troubleshooting on vacation, but keep working the problem and I'll send you my home email a.s.a.p.! Miss you, too!!!

LaHey Joe- Just checking in to say Hi. I've seen on Chief's page that you are having a busy summer, I hope you are having fun too. Make sure you let the Sheep know if you are heading up our way anytime soon. If not, we might have to discuss all of us playing hooky during Champions Week..

100_0768There you are. Chief is a woman of her word so you had better get cracking.

Chief187I want to hear SOMETHING from you in the next 48 hours or I'm coming to Toms River myself to seek you out!!

Img_5012Joe, I found you. Yay!!!

Chief187C'mon Joe, give us a weather forecast so some normalcy will reign here at 2.0! I'm not sure how our novel will continue here...we may have to get creative. Miss you - come back!!

Carl_aflacHi Joe! If you get a chance stop by and say hi to FordRacing17! It's my son Jamie! Thanks!

Me_and_ajHi Joe!

LaJoe- You woud not have believed the amount of lightning last night. It was crazy We practically had to drag Lauren out from under a tree where she was videotaping the storm. I'd love for you to be a part of a Black Sheep outing, because you would be sure to see some amazing weather... Are you coming in to see the Dale movie on the 19th?

Bristol_stageYeah, the manager wasn't too happy with me I did get some of it but I'm afraid I recorded over most of it with footage from later in the night. Had a little snafu with the camera. Actually it was called'hey lets watch some of the footage and then not fast forward again to the end before I start recording again' IDIOT But yes, if you ever hang with us, you'll see some sweet weather.

Chief187Yea Joe Thanks for commenting on my EED blog. I knew you were out there. No apologies ever necessary - you are and always will be golden in my book :) Summer is good, hope yours is the same Let's comment and EED soon ;)

ProfileAlways good to see another Jerseyan I miss it sometimes, but mostly the pizza... Thanks for the words.

LaJoe- The Black Sheep will keep Aug 1st open. Maybe we can meet up after Conan (fingers crossed) that would be fun. If not, definitely Dover. We are going to be think positive-it's not going to rain I hope Lauren has some of the storm footage from this week. She was the like the guy from "Twister" who wouldn't stop taping, while they were yellling at us to go inside. There was one unbelievable lightning strike that we not only saw- but felt. Don't worry though, Lauren brings her camera everywhere and we always seem to cause massive storms and damage wherever we go, you'll see our handiwork soon enough. Also, you and your Mom's comments totally made my day. Thank her very much and tell her the $100 is in the mail...

Chief187Good morning Joe, It is always a treat for me to see your comments on my page Thank you for that. I did not realize you were the very first blog on Rowdy Too cool Was it weather-related or just opinion? You are very prolific and I so enjoy reading everything you put out here. As I've told you numerous times, I am so impressed by you and am encouraged by your youth... Have a great day Happy 4th of July week

Chief187 :)

Chief187WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am so very happy for you Listen, there is nothing sexier (oh, sorry, you're still too young for me to say that and not get in BIG trouble) I mean more attractive than a SMART MAN Thanks for sharing that FANTASTIC news Cheers to you and the hard-earned, well-deserved A

Chief187Although I don't take a lick of credit, I am so PROUD of you Your parents, as we say, are really good parents :) You are lucky I hope my boys will feel that way as they get older...

ProfileI was feeling quite transcendental when I wrote that I guess. I was surprised to see that website knew who I was — I had never been on it before — but hey, he posted my comment. I'd like to see other comments too, but they're not showing yet.

ProfileI forgot to add, that guy will probably say something about me on his next show, but I have no access to that. Hpmf...oh well, no loss. For the 4th I'll probably watch movies, drink wine coolers (they were on a great sale) and play around with the left over fireworks from last year. :/ I hope you have a great 4th too

Chief187Well, as a parent I can understand wanting you to have a job and making these days count for something more than vacating... As an adult, I secretly envy your freedom to just..."stay up Very late and sleep in Very late" When you get older you have less and less opportunity to do "nothing" and sleep whenever. You're a good'kid' (hard for me to call you that even though it is the truth) and I know you'll get a job very soon. No, I don't worry about you, Joe. Kick back, relax, things will fall into place. Wishing you a happy weekend

Chief187GREAT posts on the Rowdy blog this weekend I loved them all, but am partial to the one about you thinking you saw the kids and me :) You're right, if there was no Racer, there was no Chief ;) Have a Happy Heatwave But at night, continue to get Rowdy

Chief187Yea Gainfully employed, yet still a freeloading vacationing teen for the next several days I'm happy for you. I have no doubt you interview well (way to score a job immediately ) and I'm sure you have a strong work ethic, too. These things will continue to serve you well in life. So, you'll earn big bucks and get...what kind of car? Don't tell ANYONE on Rowdy, but I don't drive a stick shift. I do want to learn, and Racer has tried to teach me on ocassion, but unless the NEED is there, people don't seem to learn. Would you get a stick shift? Racer did for his first car and thus learned to drive one "on the fly". Now, as is evident, he's quite good at it ;) What kind of store/shop will you be working in? Loved your beach/boardwalk story. I am honored you thought you saw me...I am, however, a lake girl. I grew up summering in lake communities, so I'm about the only person who is a native New Jerseyan who does NOT go "down the shore". I have nothing against it, but why travel down there, fight horrible traffic, and throngs of people when I can drive literally 5 min. from home to my parents summer cottage and swim in the lake? I think the only thing that would get Ra
