H2O

I had my truck washed yesterday thanks to some road kill guts getting sprayed on it coming back from the beach. That should make it rain. I hope

The pension is the main reason I stayed where I did for 30 years. I know its not offered much or at all these days. I'm VERY thankful

also. I know most of you won't have this experience for a long while yet but when the pension deposit goes in a couple days early its

but drinks. You will get to hit that. And go 5 for 5 for drinks

Bummer. I am sad and also happy for you. Sad you lost, happy you get to drink

Someone in Indiana won. I hate them. How dare they

I did. Like not getting storms today it’s safe to say I’ll still be poor when I wake up tomorrow

You know what happened, right?

Look at that supercell on GOES. Sick tops

It won’t rain here at home now either. Just got back from the eastern shore. I should have stayed down there and let the storms come to me

Wildcat is or now was fun. Good coaster but rough. Reminded me of the Grizzly at KD. That one crushed my back the last time I rode it. Agree that Hershey has some really fun rides. I’d put Busch first tho. KD has some fun ones and my first coaster which was the back then named Rebel Yell. Lowest on my list would be Six Flags. Just not a fan of that place

Looking like home will get slammed while I’m here at the beach. Guess that’s what it takes to get rain. Gotta leave town

Only one kid of mine swam but dropped time in both her events. Not all star but big enough to show that some side work and lessons with an older swimmer paid off. Worked first half shift which was fine by me. Done before it got hot and could watch other kids we are friends with. Overall we have 8 kids going to all stars. Had a couple locked to go and a couple surprises. It will be a big group for us. We usually have 3-5 max. One kid is top seed so that’s good exposure for the pool. Congrats to you and your swimmers that made it in!

Gonna suck at divisionals today. The heat will be rough. Hey, @mattie g make sure you get your swimmers to hydrate and stay in the shade.

91 and just after 11. Gross

You only need 3 tools. Hammer, screwdriver, duct tape. Those will fix EVERYTHING

Yup. First half chief timer for our divisional. got asked last night. Only got one kid in it and she will be done after fly which is the second event this year. Wooo. Staying for the whole meet will be gross if no shade. And we have our awards banquet in the evening. Pain. But then its done which is always a relief but bittersweet.

My drought started last night when everyone else had storms but moi

Storm bust down here. Nary a drop. Whomp whomp

It will fill in like it does in winter. Said no one ever

Flood watch up

But I’m also sorry. It can’t be fun

This will make you better prepared for tropical storms

Damn, son. it's like you live in TX

Hamlet is a nice pool but just ill suited to an event like this. Not sure there is a pool that is the best to be fair. But part of the problem is the D1 pools. They act like they own the place no matter where it is. They get charter buses to take the swimmers and family and a whole f-ton of others. then they hog all the bleachers. I get they usually have the most kids and relays and all that but that shouldn't mean you get to deprive all the other pools a chance to see their kids swim. Its just douchey. So you have a ton of other people that have to only sit for single event viewing and it makes for congestion and a lot of rude ass people. Our kids swam great tho and even managed a 2nd for one relay. It feels so good to beat those D1 teams. I'm proud of the kids and I love cheering for them and getting looks from these upper D teams who go "who is that team?" I saw that you guys were able to get a relay there. For little kids it can be intimidating and scary as hell. When my girls went it was around that age and they were nervous wrecks. So were us parents. Even if they didn't do great just celebrate that they went cause its something they can NEVER take away from them. My oldest daughter won't go to all stars anymore but I tell her that she went, swam well and NO ONE can take that from her. She earned it. Your team EARNED it. Remember there are 102ish teams. 17,000 kids swim. Your 4 got to go. Only 17 other teams did for that event. Thats impressive.
