Ah, the great American pasttime (or at least it used to be) -- Baseball! JD had a tournament in Augusta this weekend, his team finished 1 and 2. Scheduled game times Saturday were 11:00 AM and 8:30 PM. Actual game times Saturday were 11:37 AM and 10:05 PM, with an encore performance at 9:30 Sunday morning. The late game Saturday saw us facing a remarkable 10 year old pitcher. He faced 10 batters, striking out 9 and walking 1. We were run ruled in the third inning and didn't even bat our entire line up of 11. JD was the only Viper to put the bat on the ball, fouling off 4 straight pitches before striking out. He did have a great play in center. He fielded a hot shot up the middle and threw a strike to the catcher who tagged a runner out at home!
Now on to making lemonade out of lemons. I picked up my grandma's car this weekend and had to baby it home. It died on me three times between Wichita and Salina. The third time was the last and I had to tow it home. After an hour or so, it started. But enticed by the prospect of good gas mileage on my work trips, It will go to the shop on Thursday for a tune up, new ignition module, fuel sensor, and coil, as well as a transmission flush, cooling system flush, and oil change. The last oil change it had was June 6, 2001. But it only has 2000 miles on that oil change.
This afternoon I am off to KC to visit with two politcians, then back for JDs game at 6:00.
Later
