The Almost Return of Winter

April 23...and we had snow today. Flurries, yes. No accumulation, I know. But snow anyway. Blah. 

I'm watching the KC-ChiSox game in MLB channel. I nominate Hawk Harrelson for biggest homer d-bag of them all. Put it on the booaaarrrrdssss!

Hello? Hello?

I'm at doctors office. Got a bad ring ring ring in my ears. Driving me crazy. Stay tuned.

Cold April


Even though the Mighty SoulSlam is away, I keep on top of all things North Jersey related. And the weather is one of those things. According to my trusty weather app, it's gonna hit the mid-40's today!!! That's a might too brisk for my liking. 

Good news is I take a redeye home tonight, and it looks like the mild weather comes with me. So that's a +. 


Swimming Pool Blues

The Poolside Oasis is now a slum in Beirut. Film at 11. 

Seriously, last summer YSSS and SoulSlam had to so some patch jobs on a 9 year old liner. Over the frozen tundra of winter we noticed the water level had a significant drop. At one point the Sons of SoulSlam and meself were knee deep in snow, cutting the coved free so the sides of this beauty would not have a chance to fall in. 

Today I pulled the cover out and started a-pumping the 22" of agua de verde out to see what we got. A PAL gave me a name of a guy that will re-line this puppy. 

Stay tuned.

Vegas

In Sin City for the J-O-B...being an East Coaster that means I wake up around 3:30am with little to do. 

Everybody says have a great time in Vegas!!! It's work. Work blows.

Hello. Back on a bit. Didn't want to post yesterday since you might think it was an April Fool's joke.

Updates of sorts:

  • Travel Basketball Team - battled to the end. Went to playoffs and lost in quarterfinals to a team that was a lot longer than us. Lost 59-58 at the last second. Oh well. Had a good run. Two league championships and a lot of great memories.
  • 14U Baseball - after a March with zero chance of practicing outside, we played opening game last Sunday. Lost 6-4. Mainly due to some errors in the field. YSSS is now a full-time firstbaseman and played a tremendous game in field. Struggled at plate but that's ok.
  • HS Baseball - OSSS is starting firstbaseman for his HS team as a junior. Plays smart. They were lucky enough to get in 2 scrimmages, where he went 2-5 w/ 2 walks at plate. Ran into a really good pitcher yesterday who shut his Bulldogs down in opener. Back at it today.
  • Gym Rat - not exactly. Trying to get to gym at least 3 days a week, 4 is goal. Travelling for work next week so after that I dedicate to cutting weight.
  • My attire - BWSS says I look like a tool sometimes.
