Sons baseball team lost to their big rivals 2-1 last week. We are second from last and they are 1/2 game out of first. Son was called out sliding into home. I said he was safe because the tag was high in relation to home and the angle the son slid. A lady who loves taking pictures was in the press box taking photos. The new home photo of the baseball/softball Facebook page is now my son touching home with the tag not placed yet. First gets crap from the coach and now hosed by the umps.

I'm guessing he is ready for a different sport season to start.
 
@GTO Our go to stops in Missouri were always Cameron at the gas station/Wendy's. There is a McDonalds with a play area across the street. Very popular and busy stop. Kearney at the Quick Trip right off the interstate is also a good one. Also the Oasis rest areas on the KS Turnpike are not too bad if you haven't figured that out already.

Most definitely. It's his least favorite. Worst is, he's missing wrestling camps for this and he was one win from state last year. Wants to play college football and missing football camps for this, I hope this is his last season because they will stink even more next year. The coach in his infinite wisdom moved this kid who leads the conference in errors to replace a kid who is listed as being error free this season. The error champ kids own mom doesn't even make games on time and is surprised when she hears he is still playing.

@Cybirdy, the JV softball games are now gathering larger crowds than varsity. Several people have said they prefer watching the JV because it's not so painful to watch. Friday night, the varsity lost in four innings. The JV won by the 10 run rule. Daughter started at pitcher thursday night for the first, and hopefully last, time. After the game she was upset how no one can catch or even knows the game at all. I just replied that that is why I didn't want varsity pitching for her.

I mean, not all that great, if I'm being honest. I had 20# of pork bellies in the fridge to be dry rubbed and cured starting the next day when the flood hit, lost my beer fridge that I also used for curing, and my freezer that could store a lot of pork fat...got the freezer back fairly quickly (because eating out of a side-by-side with 2 kids sucks), but didn't get the extra fridge back until last week, so I haven't had good bacon in almost a year. Picked up a crown roast around christmas/new years time that I made a month or so ago that was fantastic...but really, it's a bunch of pork chops not cut up, it's gonna be good.

Need to get my cure on for some bacon, Mrs00 going to be out of town in a couple weeks, probably a good time to mess with it.
Good to hear from you @00clone. However, sorry about the dog. I suppose if you haven't been able to make any bacon you probably haven't been brewing up any beer or cider. On the bacon subject, we picked up some raspberry chipotle bacon from the market. Best bacon I've ever had.

New fun form of spam: fake "mailer daemons" (undeliverable mail notices). Yay?

I used to get those all the time when I used my Lycos account.

I still use that as a dump account for places that require an E-mail address. About once a year I make a pilgrimage to it and empty the trash. It's like a really really crappy lake house that I can't bear to get rid of.

I use a hotmail account for that very purpose.
 
Yesterday began the two week legal time frame to buy, sell and shoot fireworks in Omaha. It's funny how every single fireworks stand sells fireworks for 1/3 off.
