I remember those days....a long time ago in a land far far away....

Oh wait, that's Star Wars lol. But yeah, played T-Ball back in the day. Played High School baseball and would have had a scholarship if I hadn't tried to be a two sport student. Football messed me up and I had to skip my junior and senior year of baseball. Being 6'4 everyone tried to get me to play basketball but I just didn't care much for the game.

I did two years as assistant little league coach when I was 16 and 17 though. I like those games and Babe Ruth league games more than pro ball. At least the kids are having fun and they do it just for the love of the game.

Ahhhh the good ol' days lol.

I managed to build myself a set of sawhorses today but that's all. I did grill some steaks though. My shoulders are paying for the work i did over the weekend still yet.

At least the week is past halfway!

Good Evening Gang. Have not been by in a while. I apologize for that. I have been quite busy getting back to work and catching up on past bills. Dang, the build up fast.

Summertime is here. Going to possibly get a great paid vacation to Anaheim California. I hope so. It has been a while since I have been there.

I hope everyone is doing well. Take care of each other and enjoy today. Catch ya later in a cloud of dino fumes.

Hey everyone, I thought I sneak in and look around and say hey. I just came from a candlelight vigil for a 9 year son, of a good friend, who has cancer and is in a hospital in Cincinnati undergoing 30 days of treatment. Put Adam Hoschar on your prayer lists.

Don't forget to vote Saturday!!!!

Anyone going to the Power Park Saturday night I may see you at the game. Hopefully we won't get wet or should I say too wet.

Good Night everyone!

I haven't been to Power Park but they built a complex for the Miners about 3 miles from my house. I plan on quite few evenings there this summer.

Hi everyone. I'm just blabbering I guess but nobody is here right now so...Things i have to get out I suppose. For those who don't know my mother inlaw passed away the end of in April. Her house is right behind ours. She has 9 kids, my wife being the youngest.

None of them want to even come around here to help with all of her things. I've been going through her things in the house and storage sheds outside. She was a very simple person. She saw a value in just about anything. There is so much stuff here I don't know what to do with it all. So much of it has been broken from being shuffled around and I've been burning trash all day and seperating trash from useable things.

I guess it just got to me that all of these things I've been burning, she had bought for a reason and I'm treating it all like garbage.

I know most son inlaws don't think much of mother inlaws lol but she was very special. I've been unable to work since Sept, and have very little income but she would give us most of her monthly check and even if we refused she insisted we take it.

If God were to take one last person to Heaven, I'm positive she would be the one. I could go on and on for days about the good she did and it would only scratch the surface. She's never even had a drivers license. I let her drive a couple of times down our road and it was like she had won the lottery. She cherished the most basic things. I can't say enough.

Well, I've been trying to be strong around my wife but today she's been out doing things and i guess I just couldn't hold it any longer. I broke down and needed a release of some kind, so if your still reading, thank you and God bless you.

Times like these are tough. I just want to sit down and cry for awhile. And well, I did.

I guess I'm done. Just had to get some things out I suppose. Thanks for listening, reading, whatever.

I guess I'll update my truck while I'm here. The shop got my engine yesterday so maybe I'll have my truck back by the end of next week maybe.

Any word on a GTG?

Sorry to hear about your loss Kevin. Sounds like she was a really special person.

Trying to sort out all of a person's stuff in this type of situation is never easy. I've never been directly involved with that but I've helped with both of my wife's grandparents and it can get to you. Especially when it comes time to throwing stuff away. I feel for you.

Here's to better days on the way
