Went to Best Buy to handle not buy the Ipad.  I would say i was not impressed but I was not planning to be impressed.  Tested.com  discussion thread is kind of skimpy on information but they have a new live stream that gives good information.

Good afternoon practice but the Phillies are going to be really young.  Gman needs to step up his game and take over as a leader.  He has the attitude too be they are just 8-9 so I need to stay calm.  The young ones are having fun and thats the best thing.  First game is Wednesday so I will update the pictures from last year.  

Good afternoon of practice.  Had 7 of them during spring break week so I was happy.  Lou pitched batting practice and Michelle was there to help.  The new guys have already started to show improvement.  Only had Gman and Jacob from the older kids tonight.   Looks like Gman for second, Jacob at first.  Tevis at short  and Bryce at pitcher.  Or maybe Gman at pitcher and Bryce at 2nd.  We need to find a third baseman and figure out the outfield.

Batting looked better.  Still have about 3 or 4 of the young ones who are just learning .  Lou will pitch and let JD coach third.  Puts Kevin or me at first.  Got to love kids playing baseball.

Note to self. When something loses power it is usually means something pulled a plug

Computer is fixed.  The power supply cable was connected to the motherboard but since its a modular power supply I need to check to see if the cable was still hooked to it.  It was not so therefore no power to the computer.  I am glad my desk top is working again and I do not need to start looking for anything new.  

Spring break this week so the boys are out of school and enjoying the boys and girls club.  I will be the head coach at Gmans practice Thursday.  JD and Michelle will be out of town for spring break and Kevin is working. It looks like I will have 10 of the 12 kids there.  We will be working on fielding and throwing.  If the other dads can make it, we will work on hitting as well.  

Great spring day today. I hope everyone got out in it. 

Cold rain today in Eastern Kentucky.  So no baseball practice.  Gman is looking good so far and he will be either at 2nd or pitcher this season.  E's coach got a job in NC and so they are looking for a head coach.  I wish I could do it but with work I can't do it.  

Been spending a lot of time at a new web sight,  Tested.com.  Not a bad little site and they are still expanding it. So if you have tech or gadget questions go check it out.

First Baseball Practice

Gman had is first baseball practice of the Spring.  E's will be Monday night.  We are very young again  Lost 5 players to moving up in age. One we thought would be back did not come back.  We have 5 back from last year and so we should hit very well.  Infield may be rocky without a true first baseman.   Gman and Tevis should be solid up the middle.  Bryce at first or second.  Jacob at third.  We have 2 new players who did not play tball so it will be interesting.  Micheal B is back and is hitting well.  Still a little shaky fielding and throwing but he is a very young 2nd year player who did not play tball.  I can't wait for the season to start.

Mom will be in tomorrow.  Lynn has a bass tourny this weekend.  I am thinking about getting Mom on Facebook and a Facebook page for Lynn's jig business.  A place for him to list the jigs and where he is going to be fishing.  Anyone have any ideas about it?

Nothing big this week.  Just getting ready for baseball season for the boys and Mom coming for the weekend.  Lynn has a bass tournament and so she will be up Saturday and Sunday.  Means we have to clean the house and get her bedroom ready.  

Beth and I are both fighting the spring head colds.  Every fall and spring we cough and sneezing and just have a great month or so. The boys are doing well so far this spring.  

I have found a new web sight, Tested.  It is set up by Will Smith (no not that one the other one).  He was editor for Maximum PC  for a long time.  I have added a feed to the blog for the new sight.  Looks pretty good but it is to early to tell.

If I figure out how to do it, I will post my tourny bracket buy Wednesday night. 

Off to basketball tonight, everyone please behave

Spring has made it to  Eastern Kentucky.  70 plus yesterday and thunderstorms coming tomorrow.  Whats the old line If you don't like the weather just wait it will change.  

Good week so far.  We have got our teams for baseball.  Gman gets back on the Phillies with his buds.  E moves up to full Shetland.  First practices this week and league meeting is Saturday.  So we have finished the weeks of just 1 or 2 nights out of the house and ready to start the 5 night a week hustle.  I can't wait for the season to start.  Gman really got better in fall ball and I hope he keeps at it.  Basketball went well this season.

We have started looking for a replacement for the van.  No big hurry but it has started to cost us more in up keep than it should.  The truck is 4 years older but is holding up better, knock on wood.  So the question becomes another van or something different that gives us enough room.  We travel with a lot of stuff and the boys have gotten use to the movies in the van.  We will have to find something that will be close to that again.  Better gas mileage will be important as well.

Hope you and yours have a great week
