Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

So do you do individual music for each batter?

That is not allowed per the girls athletic union. I would do warm up and between innings and then between games.


They loved my announcements. The previous guy read them like the old Atlanta braves announces (who would put you to sleep).


This is what I put for the first set up warm up pitches. Thought the guitar licks were a good start to a game, but apparently not for 15-18 year old girls. The guy before played 80s rock like Autograph and such. I did hit rap and some 00/early 10s dance stuff. Hard to find songs without drinking, drugs, or sex in them.




Although when I played this song, I got no flack. Probably since we know the drummer who sings it.

Finally started crossing off things on my "I should really finish this project" list this weekend. It's much easier to take the time to do these tasks when you get to play with power tools.

I miss Heidi, the Tool Time girl.

My wife is watching TV upstairs while I work and diddle around on here.

I just got hit with an awful version of the Turtles' "So Happy Together."

Damn - I remember hearing that somewhere, but I don't remember what show...
That was a terrible thing to do to such a happy song.

We had 2.3" of rain overnight. Hopefully the trees get picked up today.

Be careful what you wish for. Another derecho may come through and pick up your trees.

Wife showed me pictures of grain bins destroyed by the neighbors parents. They live just next to the ethanol plant.

Why would your neighbor's parents go around destroying grain bins? They got something against farmers?

It's 71 in my house right now. I keep the house at 66 in the winter but the next few days looking challenging.

We have it set at 72 year round, we just didn't turn the thermostat on before bed. We also have a door that faces north in our kitchen that we leave open (wood door open, screen door closed) for the dog because there's a doggie door in it, so that contributes to some of the heat lost. We run on LP and it's pretty cheap to warm our house since we have a new roof, new siding, and new windows.

It was just a little bit of a shock this morning when I got up at 5 to shower. Was not expecting it.

Not all of us are completely covered in hair/fur to keep us warm.

Yah yeah...

Unfortunately the DOT has been tasked with clearing our area. They are working their normal hours and days. Compare that to the contractors that the city/FEMA hired that work 12 hour days 7 days a week. It appears that the DOT is not working today either due to the rain so it may not be until next week now.

If you pay me DOT rates I will come down with a crew and do the DOT work. I think I have 4 shovels, so I will need 6 people. One loading, one in the truck and four leaning on the shovels telling the one guy how he is loading wrong.

Well played but they have actually been fairly efficient. Each "team" has one bobcat or something similar organizing piles for the larger loader to pick up and dump into the trucks. Each team has at least three dump trucks. The only waste IMO is the one person on each team that sits in a chair where they are working all day long with an iPad apparently logging each load.

Took five minutes for that Big 12 anti racism thread to go totally off the track and headed for the cave.
