One more time

Greetings !!!

Hey - I am gonna try that one mo - Time and see if I can connect the dots and make something that looks like a picture.....   YOU Game ?!?!?!? 

Been exceptionally Busy ,,,,,   Sanding and now staining a Cedar deck, Building rifle tables for the Gun Club,, working at the Marina , keeping up the yard...  how did I ever have a full time job ??


So - this week there was a few highlights = we got the mission to build 30 Picnic Tables from kits that that the state bought,,,

Essentially they look like this -  Five  - 2" x 10" x 6 feet long,,,a Center brace and 2 angled brackets, about 30 nuts and bolts per table - thats 30 tables x 30 bolts = 900 nuts and bolts, !!! 

Simple monotonous !  We did 13 Friday with 3 guys - OK 2 1/2 ,,, Saturday was perfect,,, cool , cloudy, and no marina business....   I was able to build 17 Tables in 6 1/2 hours - I hope to build no more !!

Saw 2 sections of the old Tappan Zee Bridge being pushed north to whatever lucky town got them for the use of upgrading their particular falling down bridge,,,,  I understand the rest are going to build  reef in the Atlantic ...

Story of the week - 3 guys in a 17 foot outboard,,  a real awful looking vessel ,,, dirty, and the Evinrude that was on it would not idle less than about 50k RPM  - Every time they put it into gear -   blubblub blub the engine stalled ,,,, pushed them over to an empty slip,,,, they work on it for an hour,,,, no good,,,  I continue to mention that this is better then getting out on the River and having this happen,,,   they then call some "expert" to come down,,,, ok he  gets it running better  and I say   - hey good luck - Do you have SeaTows number,,,, they laugh,,,,,,, 
fast forward and 1 45 minutes to 7:15,,,  here they come being pulled back to the Marina by a good samaritan .....  they tell me later that he is not comfortable pulling them into the Marina - taking the risk of him or them hitting another boat,,,  so they are Paddling the thing from the mouth of the Marina over to the Ramp....  no we have a flay bottom runabout that we use for the purpose of draggin boats thru the Marina,,,   Question ??? am I going to get these guys ??  or after they laughed at my suggestion of NOT taking that out to the Rive - I should watch 'em Paddle back,,,,,  IF you know me at all - you know I said Fuck them !  let 'em paddle !!   I did walk out to watch them ....hahahahahahah

SEE YA !!

Let's hear some BNL

BIG NEWS

Hey Hey Hey,,,

I have a new Grandson !!  Born last week,, Mom and baby are doing fine after what was a difficult Pregnancy, where there seemed to be every complication.  (and I certainly have not Idea just how difficult it was) BUT - the Outcome was excellent in that Mom and baby are all good!

I do not thing there are many things  the world that you could say - there was every complication on the journey ,, but the destination would up to be perfect .... 

Ok, Let's move quickly to the Wide  Wide World of Sports,..

Yankees are in 1st place in the AL east - and BTW have the best record in-all of Baseball right now,,,  I wanna talk about the Designated hitter deal,, but thats for a bit later...

Basketball - Golden State embarrassed the Cav's in the Finals and as great as Lebron is he could not over come the GS team...

Hockey - The Vegas Golden nights was a terrific story - they even won the 1st game in the Stanley cup Finals,,, but in the end could not stop the Capitals from Scoring.... and lost that series and the Cup in 5 games.

Horse racing - well we have another Triple crown winner - Justify won the Belmont to complete the trifecta and give us another Triple crown winner after just 4 years...  American Pharoah won the same in 2015 after a 37 year drought....

My rant this week is the Designated hitter rule in Baseball.....  where the National league plays with a different set of rules than the American league,  not sure  can come up with an analogy for another sport.  You have the NL - where the pitchers have to hit and subsequently run the bases - it also  presents a different thinning with pinch hitting later in the game where you have a opportunity to score. this also means that you do not have a person on the 25 man roster whos' job it really is just to HIT ,,,  where in the AL teams have highly paid older players that only hit  or 90% of the time they only hit.  SO in the American league - you are asking the Pitchers who - yes are athletes - to hit and run the Bases . Something are just not used to doing and this  - I think leads to some injuries...... Remember Chin Ming Wong - hurt a leg rounding 3rd base  - destroying his career , he was never the same after wards.   Now I don't care what way we go - DH or NO DH - but all of baseball needs to get on the Same page !!

The job is going well. I  like working the 3 days , Thursday , Friday and Saturday ,,,, I do Noon to 8:30 ...... and am alone after noon on Thursday and after 3 or 4 oclock on Fri and Saturday... . I have the ok to work some added hours learning the Administrative side  of things,,, and might even be Kept on for the Winter at the end of the Year ,,, so we will see about that - I have plans to do a few things this winter !!

It was Derek Trucks birthday this past week,, so let's try one with his wife Susan Tedeschi ,,, and  some Tedeschi Trucks band..  ANYHOW 

Then Angel from Montgomery.. we will be seeing them at SPAC  in July
