Missing the Family

Beth and the boys are in Murray today for homecoming. I stayed home fighting a sinus cold and headache. Talking to Beth this morning and they are fine. The other day E got in trouble the other day at school. He and a friend were talking in class. He also taught the friend a little saying learned from his cousin Lexi. Talk to the hand Talk to the Butt Talk to the man from Pizza Hut. He told Beth and I while driving and we almost lost it. Being the good dad, I had to call and share this wonderful news with Granny and June. It just reminded me of all times June got me in trouble. I have decided that this is just a great line that needs to be shared with everyone. Have a great weekend all.

Thursday Night

More rain so no ball games tonight.  Fall baseball has been a very wet ordeal.  We have lost over 3 games form both E and Gman's seasons.  I am glad they got to play though.  E is really coming out of his moma's boyism and Gman has really stepped forward with his fielding.  Gman needs to work on his batting.  I am really considering batting cage trips this winter.  The swing is ok but he needs to work on his feet and hips.  The inside out nature of lefties really comes out in him.  E needs the hitting stick.  I did not buy one last month because it was not on sell like the baseballs and knee savors were.  I will get one at some point though.  

Still very tired from the week in class and the driving.  Beth and the boys are going to homecoming in Murray tomorrow.  If I am still this tired and fighting the headache still I think I will stay home.  If I do I may finally get the new computer case and try to build the home server out of the parts I have been hoarding.  And get the mattress from the old bed over to the Good Will. 

We have had to put almost $2000 in the van this year.  New brakes, flushed the coolant system, 100k mile tune up and then an intake valve ans sensor went out causing it to stall.  I hope this will be it for a while on it.  The truck is closing in on 150k also.  I really would like to go a couple of years without an auto payment.  It is very funny but Beth and I both think vehicles should be driven forever just like the ones our parents had. 

Monday Thoughts

I am at the SAFE class for 2 days.  I am enjoying the class today.  It is a lot of information but I feel that it will help me in the future.  Any certification will be mobile and will be a good thing.  I do wonder why all of these classes last for so long each day.  Ten hours today and ten tomorrow.  The CE class was 11 hours.  After so long you just tune out and lose anything you may have gained by being there.  At some point the training companies need to have some sort of educational background to figure out when to stop for the day.

I am missing Beth and the boys.  Beth said Gman's game went good tonight.  E's is Saturday.  Thanks to Charlie and Jeff last night was great to get out of the hotel.  Good luck with the surgery Charlie. 

Short night tonight.
