Who Knew?

I put gas in my rental car, and it doesn't have a gas cap. I didn't know about this change, you just put the gas filler into the slot and it works. Pictures from Montana posted, when I get home.

Montana

I am in Montana, my cell phone has no service ( or at least I have not figured out how to make the roam work ). I have my laptop in my room is really slow, seems to be dial up ( holy cow ). I am currently typing from the lobby computer, so far it seems a little faster, not great. all part of the adventure!

baseball part 3

Dad and Nicole at a baseball game in Pasco.  Dad loved baseball and most sports.

Baseball part 2

Last night, the middle of the ninth inning, Mariners are down by 1, on the big screen is how to make your ball hat into a rally hat.  Basically, turn your hat inside out and wear it.  Well, it looks a like goofy, with the bill of the hat curved the wrong way, and feels a little strange.  Donna and I had our hats on inside out, chuckled at the silliness.  Unfortunately, the rally hats did not help the team score.

Baseball

It is a tradition, fan appreciation game, which Donna and I go to the game.  So, we had a photo with the new Dave statue.  We didn't win any prizes, 3 years ago, I won a $ 250 team store gift certificate.

At the game, we heard Rick "the Peanut Guy" passed away.  I talked to Rick at the game in June, he asked if I would knit him some socks.  Rick was a character, as some one would order a bag of warm peanuts and he would toss the bag across the rows.  He was a part of the game.  Just as Dave was the Mariner announcer for many years, too.

Geese

On the drive to work, this morning, I saw a flock of Canadian Geese in a field.  Migration? Weather change?

Tuesday

Work is slow at my office.  Hours may be cut.  We shall see in the future.

Knitting Update

 Mystery Knit Along in Progress

Yarn for sock mystery knit along

10 years later

Ten years ago, a major tragedy hit in the USA.  It dominated the media for days, then and now.  I would think some of the families, that suffered losses would prefer a private memorial.  Peace to the families!

We are still in the sunny warm weather. Today, my cousin Yvette and I had a nice visit over lunch.

My scarf is closer to completion. a photo soon???

Weekend Goals

So, how did I fair in the weekend goal list? Yes, special memorial for Nicole. Yes, first the book on my Kindle, have barely started the next one. No, did not finish the scarf, made good progress.

Filled the wheelbarrow with weeds, twice. Went on an aid call and a fire call. Sock Sunday was yesterday. Back to work, tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
