Spring 2012 General BS

While I think we may have a late winter, spring is upon us so let's kick it off with some good ole bs.

I'll start; We're in full soccer and softball mode around here. Along with the normal dance, piano, and y-programs. Narey a moment to spare. I do find a little time to tinker with my hobbies and work on the bike and truck.

Here is a little trade I worked out last month.
I turned these:

I hear you. Cancelled yet another soccer game thus extending the season another weekend. Still, glad to have it.

Just a reminder that a few of us will be gathering at McCall's in Clayton tonight at 6:30. All are invited.

Proud dad moment this weekend. Got my almost 12yo daughter on the riding lawnmower Sunday for the first time by herself. Showed her how to start with the choke on and operate the clutch, gears and blades. Was going to let her cut a small, easy portion to get started. When she was done I asked if she had enough. She nodded "nope" and kept right on going. She ended up cutting 3/4 of the yard.

Hope everyone has a good week. Take care.
