My happy, heads up ball moment of the season: Playing second last week....guy hits a bomb into the gap. He tears around first, TOTALLY misses second, not even close to touching the bag. LF runs down the ball (no fences...they can roll and roll and roll). He throws to the SS who has gone out for the cutoff. I know he wants to try for home...no chance he's getting the guy. I'm screaming TWO TWO!!!! He tosses to me, on the bag. Umpie is right behind me. "Out at 2". NO ONE else on our team, or their team had any clue what was happening. Guy didn't say a word. he knew he missed the bag totally.

Thanks...It's healing nice. Only 2 days and the darkness is starting to fade/peel into the grey tone I wanted.

Leafsrule16: Did you end up getting the Maritime sleeve done? I'd love to see what you ended up doing and how it turned out.

It should heal much softer than that...look very shaded and smokey.

Appointment tomorrow for, what I guess is becoming a half sleeve. Pics later.

Obviously, that's the part they don't get!!!!

haha Thanks. Oh, btw JR...Lawrie's average is creeping up to respectable, but still has a lot of work to do. Hitting .245 after yesterday.

Went to a Blue Jays game today. Got selected to play one of their between innings games and won a Honda lawnmower. Apparently, the thing is worth over $600. Could it be...I'll actually WANT to cut the grass?!?!?

Hahaha..I made another unsolicited Tattoo list. This time, Fox Sports 50 WORST Sports Tattoos. #20: http://www.foxsportssouthwest.com/list-gallery?gid=29273&gf=558 Yeah me???? (I guess!) Some of those are absolutely Gawd awful...some are nice (artistically) just poor decisions overall. A giant OJ Simpson mugshot tattoo, really???

Planning on getting some more work done in the coming weeks. I want to do something to combine the Dragon on my shoulder and the "B" on my lower arm to look more like 1 piece, than just 2 separate images. When I mentioned it to my artist, he said "not problem, just smoke the shit out of it!" (guessing that's a tattoo term! ha!). I trust him, but he said he'd free hand and work around what's there...kinda nervous not seeing a sketch first...have to go in and talk to him again before I actually do it. Pics coming eventually. And, I have another idea for one...but placement is a problem. I think it is bigger (or needs to be bigger) than my arms will allow. I was thinking right calf. But, a buddy said that spot is especially painful. I'm not against the idea of pain, it's kinda part of the tattoo experience, just wanna know what I'm in for if I go that way.

Wow...be thankful you work for a company that recognizes ability/initiative and skill. Lots say they do, but there aren't many that ACTUALLY do! Congrats.

ahhh...never really understood what "Escrow" meant. I don't believe we use the term here. At least not in any financial dealings I've ever had.

3 meetings...2.5 hours, but I think it's all sorted out. An overpayment to Bank X (I'm recovering that amount)...a tax account created at Bank Y using my mortgage money (I'm recovering some of that...they still have to make a property tax payment next month) **not sure if they do this in the States, but up here, the bank can manage/pay your city taxes for you.** When all is said and done, every cent of the $5k is accounted for. Now...I did still over spend on the work by close to a Grand...that's on me...and I didn't fully understand the way the taxes were going to be worked out...Chalk that up to poor 'advising'...in hind sight $113k is what I should have gotten.

So annoyed right now. My mortgage is with Bank X. Bank Y was offering a cash back incentive to move a mortgage. In theory, the cash they give you will cover any penalties/fees (which were calculated at roughly $1200-1500 between the 2 banks) associated with breaking the current mortgage, and in most cases leaves you a little bit left over. So...I needed just over $107,000 (fees included) for my existing mortgage, and I want to do some work at the house, so I add another $5k to the new mortgage ($112k total). The $2200 cash back from the promo gives me just over $7k for the work and fees, and leaves me some extra. Well...the pay out to Bank X was more than I expected and there must be a BANK Y fee or something I was not made aware of when I/we did the math....because out of the $5k I added....I am left with only $1980, and the work ended up totally $5800. (I've already have the work done/paid for). So, even with the $2200 promo cash, I not only don't get to have a little bit left for myself...but my L.O.C is stuck with the difference...which means (drum roll please)...I'm actually paying for at least part of the work on the house TWICE. Once on the mortgage, and once on the L.O.C. Have a meeting with them today to see exactly where the pay out numbers differed from what we talked about...but he knew going in what I needed to do the work. So if the fees weren't going to leave me enough I should have been "Advised" better by this so called Financial Advisor. I kinda expect to get ripped by someone for not having all my math correct, but that's why dumb radio guys go to banking professionals for this stuff...we no damn good at math. /vent

I can't figure out if that means NO ONE wants him or EVERYONE wants him! hmmmmm.....

I've read a lot of people (on facebook and tsn forum) saying the trade is bad b/c David has "Concussion problems" I know the Thorton hit had him out for a long time, but he never had another one, did he??

You make a good point!

So, I'm walking across the lot at lunch and there is a charity BBQ event at the bank. One of our stations is set up and I see Brusier, the mascot from the Bulldogs. I haven't seen 'Brusier' since the season ended. I wave and I was pretty sure he saw he...gave me a thumbs up! Now...he wasn't wearing the "normal" Bruiser suit that is very easy to get around in....he was in the 8' inflatable version....so when he came bounding over my way...I said "Hey Bruiser" and stuck out my hand for the customary mascot highfive! Well....he must have been happy to see me, because he threw a massive hug on me that knocked my glasses off and bent the shit out of one arm. When I went to straighten it....it snapped! Not being able to break character...he just kinda took off and we went on our ways. I texted him later and he felt pretty bad about it. Funny story...not really a vent, but while I had been planning to get an eye exam and new glasses...It wasn't in my immediate plans. It's now part of my day off plans Monday!

Btw...we won 15-3 the other night. Great game by everyone.

Just stop going to the site...no snese being an ass just to get banned....besides...if it ever cleans up, you may want to go back...or, a la UFC or wrestling...MSH might jsut get SOOOO huge that it buys up the competition!

Possibly NSFW. But funny as hell.

Do you still have the BOUCE plates? Gonna get Michigan versions done?

A friend texted me "Dick Trickle killed himself" I thought that was Tom Cruises' character in Days of Thunder....so, I thought Tom Cruise had killed himself. I had to double take and remember that the character was Cole Trickle!

That new bat is gonna have some pop once it "wakes up"

We're a beer drinking team with a softball problem!
