32 to go


another Weekend Home series another Sweep !!!!!!!!!

This victim is the White SOX,,,, Red sox also continue to win,,, however their fans should not be thinkin of this as positive,,, with 32 to go and a 6 game lead,, it s not impossible that the Bosox can catch them,,, Just improbable ..

IF the Yankees (the BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL) go say .500 or 16 and 16,,,, to make up the 7 games,,, Boston needs to go 23 and 9 ,... hummmm that's a .725 winning PCT... where they have played .550 ball , all year,,,,, any way ,,, let 'em play the games, and see what happens in the End,,, I think that who ever comes out of the AL will have beaten 2 of the 3 Biggies,,, Yanks, SOX, Angels, and then have to deal with probably there Cardinals in the Series,,, My hope is Dodgers, and Yankees, Torre ,,,, Manny ..... Oh yea,,, Drama,,,,

Stand by for news

Greetings,,, let's go with RAPID fire today,,,,

Dutchess County Fair,,,, Ok,,, food was good, went for the Philly Cheese Steak, and Onion rings,, plus the Lemonade,,, quickly followed by a 4 H strawberry Shake ,ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm No calories in that I am sure................ Others had the Fried dough, and Cotton Candy !! whoa ! Animals were neat as usual,, did not get to see a Cow giving birth , like last year,,,, but hey,,,,, Girls did some shopping,, and what they got ,I have no idea,,, I did see a few dresses, etc,.........................
I do not do those rides,,, all in all - a good time was had by all,,, did not even take long getting outta the parking lot,,,,,,

Yankee Game - sucked - they lost ,,, I hate that ,, too many LOB's , and poor base running,,, AJ was real good early , then gave up that 3 run HR.... and Phil Coke was poor also,,, HEY ,, we saw Ron Bloomberg ... sittin in the Bleachers with us,,, OK, trivia test, what is Bloomy Famous for being the 1st to do ???? - and BTW - He is a big man,,,

Train ride was great,,, went from Croton - Harmon,,, $8 per / round trip.... and coming back was fast,,, If it was not for a fight on nthe train , we would have beed 15 minutes earlier,,, Parking is bit tight( no spaces) at C-H_ but I would do that again,, Keeps you off the Major Deegan expressway !!


Tractor shift now broken,, I think she is on her last legs,,,, I can patch it together to finish the season !!!

Friday - 6 miles in the Pouring Down rain !! Hey, it ain't as bad as the 90 degrees plus humidity city we had last weeks,,, so.... "I'll take the Rain"




Drive , LIVE

Bleacha Creatura Thursday

Check out a few new Pix on the FLICKR !!


Hey, On Friday I will post a report on the Train ride to 153rd street station, and the Yankees and Rangers game,,,, we are - as usual - amongst the Creatures in the Right Field Bleachers,,,, in Sect 204 this time - that's a little closer to the right Field corner than usual,...

OH and its FAIR night,,, Sausage and Peppers here I come ! - and BIGGIE Fries.... can't make up my mind in the Milkshake though,,, should I opt for a Martin, and Lewis, or Amos and Andy???

my friggin Mower



So, after having 1/2 the damn tractor apart, and rewiring sections, of it,,, and Learning how the Reverse switch works,, and figuring out that the Mower deck switch is actually a ground switch,,, not a Powered switch, they drive current to the PTO all the time and use the deck switch to break the neutral/ground,,, and ALL the GD safety switches feed into that Deck switch, the Seat, and Reverse, and the Brake, and the who knows what else,,

OH BTW,,,, that fan that cools the transmission spins like hell and putting your hand in there while its spinning not a great idea,, although I am lucky , not a scratch,,, IF it had been from the other side, probably would have lost fingers (no Joke ) SO, there is still problem, but as soon as I saw that I had the 14.2 volts to the PTO when I grounded to the frame, VIOLA ! A new ground connection via jumper wire, and Whoosh - we are Mowing like Green Acres !! Note,, with this "work around" the mower deck stays on ALL the TIME,,, and I doubt if Steel blades are as forgiving , as that plastic fan .... Guess I should price out a MOWER DECK SWITCH before they are callin me "LEFTY" !!

AND the grass is higher than ever , actually "gone to seed" as they - say,,,



Chamberlain, SUCKS ! Please 96 pitches in 4 innings,,,

WOULD YOU JUST THROW WHAT POSADA CALLS... he has a few more Years and RINGS than YOU DO !! IDIOT

American Idiot !! Green Day !

Tuesday's gone ,,, well not quite yet,,,

Well, another day,,, like any other,,,, there is one subject that I will hold for later,,, something for you to think about,,, is the ebb & flow of life,,, the people you meet,, the timing of the world,,, how did you get to the spot you are at ,,, (is that good English ? - I really don't care) The things that Matter,, and what does not,,, Problems that seem like HUGE , till someone tells you their issues, then It's nothing .............. The TIMING of the universe is amazing,,, But that - for another DAY !

Today,, I think we need a bit of humor to get started,,,, so Here is ELR and THE FAMILY !
If you are pressed for TIME,,, the last 30 seconds are GREAT - FastForward out to like 9 minutes,,,,

Whoooooooooooooooosh


That sound you heard last night was the air coming out of the Redsox's hopes for a division title,,, On Friday,,, you heard about IF they swept,, the lead of the Yankees would be down to 3 and 1/2 , then they got PASTED by the bombers,,, ,, they came back Saturday against AJ,,, but Becketthead gave up more gopher balls then Bill Murray in Caddyshack !

5 Dingers,,, Buckethead meet,,, Messers,,,, Jeter, Matsui , Rodriguez, Cano, and Matusi - CC get's his 15th,,, and the lead leaving Boston is 7 and a 1/2 games...

Now the Yanks need to continue to win, but I think the race is over,,, with 40 games to go,,,if the Yanks go say 20 and 20 ,,, the Sox would need to go 28 and 12 ,,, and although they will concede nothing, and rightly so,,, they need to turn their attention to the WILD card , where their lead is only one over the Rangers, and 3 over Tampa...
