Vassar Sullivan Racing in the IMSA Racing World won their season championship in the GTD Pro Class and they drove, had a Lexus and they were working with Lexus Racing and all. GTD Pro means that they look a lot like a Lexus, like they would look like a car that you could buy but they're not exactly the same car. Anyway, that's really cool. Now you may know that they were recently involved with IndyCar Racing but they went full time into IMSA and they've done very well. They won the championship this year which is really cool and really awesome and that was kind of the goal. Now, there are rumors that the Vassar Sullivan folks are gonna come back to IndyCar Racing for the Indy 500. Maybe not a full season yet but they're talking about coming back to the Indy 500 in 2024. It's been a couple years since they raced at the Indy 500. They've done very well. In fact, Jimmy has done so well that he was actually the series champion in 1996. Lots of top five finishes that year and he won the overall championship and he's raced at Laguna Seca and won and he's raced at places like Long Beach and won. So, Jimmy knows what he's doing and he's got a really good race team. They just won this championship and they may be coming back to the Indy 500. That'd be really cool. We'll have to wait and see about sponsors and announcements and drivers and more. In the meantime, Jimmy and his family with his sister Vicki involved with V12 Wines, v12vineyards.com here in Napa Valley. Hopefully they had a good harvest and some good winemaking is happening and that'd be so awesome to see Jimmy and drivers back at the Indy 500 have somebody local to root for. I'm Big Rick Stewart.

Some of the topics being covered at UC Davis Grape Day, satellite-based tools to track vineyard water use and stress for irrigation management. That's cool. County-wide blue-green sharpshooter trapping in Sonoma and Napa counties. Adapting wine grape production to climate change through trellising and irrigation and they have a couple of things about climate change there and improving weather data for addressing frost and heat and all the things that affect vineyards. Now, you might say, well, I don't know. I mean, that's not my job. I work at a winery or something but look, what if you went to Grape Day and you acquired all this information and the next time they were doing promotions, they're like, you know, she knows a lot about this because she went to Grape Day and so maybe she could get a promotion.

Some of you are gonna say, oh my God, give me a break, about 10 seconds from now. The folks over at the New York Post say that Gen Z has decided to leave phones at home and they're going for walks. And they say that this is called silent walking and it is a new trend. See, I told you, right? Oh my God, give me a break. All right. Well, you know, Gen Z's come up with all these things. And so I guess this is one of the latest movements. And of course it got to start over on TikTok. The latest Gen Z movement, they say at the New York Post, involves not taking, you know, earbuds or your phone or anything with you and going for a walk without listening to podcasts or any sort of technological distraction. Now, podcaster, ironic, right? Mady Mayo takes credit for unintentionally starting a movement that she promises will, quote, change your life. Oh my God. On TikTok, she says that her boyfriend challenged her to go for a walk without any of these distractions. But all right, now hold off now. She says, look, the universe and your intuition comes to you through whispers. So if you're never alone with your thoughts, if you never get quiet, you're going to miss out on these whispers. And if there's just stuff filling up your brain, there's no room for new stuff to get in there. Okay, I'll go with that. I mean, I kind of like having silent walks. Although, you know, I don't think it's like a breakthrough or anything, but you know, whatever. And if you're saying, oh, come on, well, you're not alone because somebody in the New York Post article says, is this real? This is just walking. Like how people did it before technology. Yes, indeed it is. Enjoy your watch. You could listen to The Vine though. I mean, I think that's okay. I'm Big Rick Stewart. The Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack at 99.3 The Vine. I'm Big Rick Stewart. It's The Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack. Always fun music and great information. What's that thing they do on social media? People will post something. They don't really make a comment. They just say, I'm going to leave this right here. And you know, it's supposed to be some influential thing or something. I feel like I should say that. I'm just going to leave this right here. This is from hackspirit.com. I had to read this article because it was seven warning signs. You're slowly becoming less likable as a person. Are you ready to hear these? I'm just going to leave this right here. All right, number one, you're always talking about yourself. Number two, you're flaky. Oh, I hate flaky people, right? They don't show up or they space out or something. Number three, you never apologize. Number four, you know what? Maybe if you apologize all the time though, you're like, you're annoying because you're flaking out, whatever. Number four, you gossip a lot. No, I hate that. Number five, you overuse your phone during interactions. When you're talking to somebody and then they take out their phone, it's like, get that phone back in your pocket. You interrupt others constantly. And number seven, you're very negative. They say, you ever notice how some people have a way of just darkening a sunny room? Constant negativity can do that. Whether it's constantly complaining, focusing on what could go wrong or finding criticism just about everything, being a constant downer can really impact how others perceive you. Well, duh. So maybe don't do those things or do them less. Or, you know, maybe you never do them. Good for you. I'm Big Rick Stewart. I'll try not to do any of those. It's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack at 99.3 Divine. I'm Big Rick Stewart. It's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack. Fun music and great information. Now, this is really useful information. You know what's great? A nice big bowl of pasta, right? With some red sauce or whatever. Oh my God, it's so good. You know what's not so great? When you try to reheat that, it kind of overcooks, it gets a little mushy. There's little tricks to doing it, but this is a trick I've never seen before. And I tried this and guess what? It works great. I saw this at firstforwomen.com. Hey, I can read that website. All right, so here's the headline. Chef's lettuce leaf trick ensures that reheated pasta tastes as delicious the second time around. Okay, as you might guess, this involves reheating pasta and some lettuce leaves. And this is from chef and culinary consultant, Emily Hansen. A surprise trick. She covers the pasta with a watery veggie-like lettuce, and that keeps it a little bit moist, but not too moist, not like adding water or anything, and then reheats it. All right, so here's the deal. Transfer the pasta from an airtight container to a microwave-safe bowl. Place a leaf of romaine lettuce over the top of the pasta, cover with a micro-safe litter of plastic wrap. So then, you know, that keeps everything moist and all that. Cook at a medium-high heat for around four to five minutes before removing the lettuce and cover. Stir the pasta, cover, and cook another one to two minutes until hot. Cool for a couple minutes before you serve. You know, try it at different temperatures and times for, you know, whatever size of pasta you're eating, but this actually works really good. Okay, here's one more tip I'll throw in, just because this is my tip. Reheat sliced pizza. Reheat this upside down in a non-stick pan, because then the toppings get hot and all melty and ooey-gooey.
