Well gang I always tell you the truth don't I?
Good games like 22-16 real pitchers duels.
The game yesterday was the worst bit of softball I have ever witnessed. Partly my fault because there was nothing else to shoot in my area, and I knew I would be shooting two teams today that are ranked 1 and 4. Anyway to make a long story very short I left in the third inning. One pitcher walked everybody under the sun, the other was just as bad. Score when I left 16-0, read in the paper this morning the game ended 18-6.
A few shots of making something out of nothing. lol Sometimes you will have days like this.

As a friend of mine once told me - some days the dragon wins! But you were able to get out and from what I can tell the weather was fairly decent. Yeah, I know. REALLY stretching for that one! ;o)

WOW! I might have left after 2. Still excellent shots as always. At least you were out shooting what you love. Looking forward to your 1 vs 4 game photos. I shouldn't even tell my friends what a DUMB ASS I am. I don't get round very good anymore DUH! has been raining for days and my grass was really high so I thought I would give it a try. One of my sons usually mow of me. I hate them having to do that they have lives and things they need to get done. Short story. I have two maybe 12" ramps to get into my shed which is probably 2 feet off ground. Well, backing it back into shed I ran off the ramps and came dang close to turning over. Jerked me pretty hard to the left which would have pinned me underneath it and the ramp. I just shut mower off and went inside. The whole thing has my knee arm and wrist hurting this morning. Took grandson to work and when I got back son was just backing mower back into shed, apparently mower is ok. My wife and son tell me that my mowing days are over. Who do they think they are to tell ME what to do LOL HA HA. That's my story for for the day. Thanks friend BE SAFE!!

Some good shots despite the situation. Had a game here the other day that ended 1-0 between the 1 and 3 teams in the division. 1 hit on each side. Only run scored in first inning on an error and wild pitch.

Hi Paul:
I am on a bad run for money shots. Yesterday's game was 2-0. I thought the teams rated no. 1 and no. 4 in the city I was praying for a bunch of runs, but no one pitcher threw a 1 hitter. I got what I could. Playoffs start next week, so I hope for more runs.
Be well,
Jules

Tom:
You have to be careful man. At our age we must realize we can't do what we used to. I am very careful where I walk, how I walk, etc.
That's why I have a gardener now, use to do this work myself, but no more.
Be ok,
Jules
