Me and My scooter

OK, this is me amd my scooter. I got ths scooter about a month and a half ago, and I really love it! I just ordered another one, for my wife, for her 50th Birthday, which is in October. I figured I better get it now, so she can ride it during the summer. We rented a couple of scooters when we went to Key West on vacation last month, and really loved riding them. Dawna's new scooter will be red. After she gets hers, we can park the car, and only use it when we really need to. This will cut our gas bill in half. And we will have fun riding them all over town!

Well, my buccos got rained out last night with their last game with the yankees. Probably a good thing, too. They were down 3-1 when the rains came. They play the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend. I am watching theem now, and they are already losing 3-0 after one inning. Not a good start.
My supervisor at the Post Office is retiring. His last day of work is tomorrow. He put his time in, and now is ready for his retirement years. Good luck to you, Bob! I will miss you.

I hate the Yankees!

Have I told you all that lately? I really do hate the Yankees. They have too much money and too many big egos on their team. The Pirates took a beating from them last night, but it would sure be nice if they could pull one out tonight, and take the series from the Yankees. That would really make my day. Ok, enough about baseball for now.
I have a very sore foot, which is not good for a mailman. Thought I had a heel spur, but, my foot doctor says it is planter fascitis. All I know is my foot hurts! I have been going to physical therapy for a week now. Doesn't seem to help much yet. At the end of my mail route, I am usually limping pretty bad. I really worry about it. I can't afford to lose work over this. Guess I just have to learn to work through it.
We shall see how much my wife reads my blog. I bought her something today for her 50th birthday which will be here in October. She knows what she is getting, cause she told me what she wants! I will tell you all what I got her, as soon as it gets here.
One of our clerks at the post office lost her husband last night. She went to wake him up before she left for work, but, he had died in his sleep. Very sad day at work because of this. He was not old, but, he did have some heart problems. My prayers are with her family tonight.

Lets Go Bucs!

How about them Buccos? They absolutely trounced the New York Yankees last night! It was a great game, even though our pitcher, Tom Gorzolanny was very wild, as usual. He was lucky to get the win. Good thing our bats were working. Sure hope we can win another one tonight. The pirates had their third largest crowd ever at PNC Park, and there was no giveaways, no fireworks, just baseball, with the hated Yankees. Tonight we have Zach Duke pitching for the pirates against Jaba Chamberlain. He is probably one of the yankees better pitchers. Should be tougher to score, but, I think we can do it.

Today's news.

Can you believe this is my son, Joey? He is only 17 years old, and he is 2 inches taller than me. And I am 6"2"! He is a great son. He gets all A's and B's. He will be graduating from High School next year, then he is going to the National Guard. Kind of surprised me when he told me about this. I spent 15 years in the Air Force. Would like to see him talk to other recruiters, but, he seems to be set on this. It will do him good, though. He is planning on going to college trough the Guard, so that will take care of a lot of college expenses.

Not a very newsworthy day here. Getting ready for the big Pirates and Yankees series in baseball tonight. Have to root for my buccos all the way here. I am the biggest Yankee hater around. Can't stand it when teams that have all that money think they can practically buy the pennant. Will give you updates on how the games go each day on here.

No Ball game tonight.

The pirates have the day off today. Guess that means they won't lose tonight. The big, bad New York Yankees come to town tomorrow. First time the Yankees have played in Pittsburgh since "Maz" hit his famous home run in 1960. I hope the Pirates play some good baseball and beat up on the Yankees the next 3 days. I HATE the Yankees!

I had physical therapy after work today for my foot. I have planter fascitis on my right foot. Really bothers me a lot, especially after delivering mail all day. So, my doctor is trying physical therapy for a few weeks to see if that helps. I sure hope it does. Not good for a mailman to have bad feet!

I am not on my usual mail route this week. One of our carriers is one vacation this week, so I am doing his route. Mostly downtown, and some areas close to downtown. I know all the routes in Greenville, so, I get pulled to do other routes when they need coverage. Guess that's why they call me "Super Dave" at work!

Not much else going on today. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Let's have a picnic!

Today, after church, we had a picnic to celebrate Randy's 31st birthday. Randy's daughter, Evelyn was so excited about a picnic. She wanted to pass out tickets to everyone here at our house for the picnic. She is so delightful. And very excitable! Dawna's mom and step-father were here, along with her daughter, Mindie and her husband Jim. Of course, Nathan was here, too. Dawna's brother Denny stopped by, too. He was on his way down south on his Goldwing motorcycle, but, still found time to stop by for the picnic! His wife Pam came too. Oh, and my son Joey was here for the weekend, also. After we all ate, Nathan, Evelyn, and Joey all went swimming in our pool. Water temperature was a mere 74 degrees. Way too cold for me, but, the kids wouldn't let that stop them! They stayed in for as long as they could stand it. No one wanted to be the first to say they were cold. We finally had to tell them it was time to get out, cause their lips were turning blue! Too funny!

After everyone went home, I came in to watch the Pirates game on TV. They couldn't sweep the blue jays. Seems like they can't ever sweep a series. Well, they lost today 8-5. Not a well played game. They have the day off tomorrow, before the big bad Yankees come to town.

It is raining here now. Was nice earlier today. Glad the rain held off till now. Hope you all had a nice day today. Talk to you all tomorrow!
