Yesterday Jag and I and 3 of his teammates hit the batting cages at Unser Racing across town. They have a cool machine that actually shows a video image of a pitcher throwing the ball to the hitter. You can change the pitch, the speed, just about anything. We had it turned up to 66 miles an hour which is darn fast for 12 year old kids. The pros throw between 80 and 95 miles and hour with only a few approaching 100! That ball really comes whipping in there at 66, believe me.
Before that I ran to Boulder to get some veggies from my buddy who has the farm, traded for a new shotgun and then Jag and I ran to Cabela’s to trade the shotgun for another rifle and made $409 on the entire deal. Not bad for a mornings work.
Ty convinced Mom to get Netflix, at least the free 1 month trial. I’m personally over electronics but it’s cheaper ($9.99 a month) than having them order movies off tv which run about $6 a pop.
Eleanor, I did get your comment but all it said was “Did you get this?”
Today from 10 to noon we’re having an impromptu baseball practice combined with kickball and then we’ll grill some hot dogs for the kids at the park. I think we’re through with rain for a while, thank God. I’m sure we’ll be praying for rain not long in the future.
Time to run as I need to go get the hot dogs for the kids. They’re really coming together as a team and I’ve been putting together these fun times outside of practice which I think is really helping them bond. The Coach is super appreciative and happy as we all can see it. Anyhow, if you’re going to do it, do it all the way, right?
God Bless.
