The neighborhood basketball teamS came over to our place for their reward ceremony on Sunday. There were probably thirty people there. When I first got home I was stunned at how many people could fit into that place (see previous picture). The food was great. I love southern fried chicken. The BBQ chicken was great too. And the cassorole and home made mac-n-cheese were great. The whole thing was great. Phil is a great basketball coach too.
I played ultimate again. It was 80-85 on Sunday. I got so hot from running I got dizzy for a minute. I was glad there was an extra person to sub-in now and then. The only problem is that people are eager to sub-in but seldom sub-out. I got put on Chris too. He's as tall as me, but mostly muscle. He plays baseball, basketball, football. Yeah, he kicked my arse on the field. He's only like 17 too. It was fun, but I was outmatched. We play man-to-man. It keeps people from chasing the frisbee like you would see at a children's soccer game. But it sucks when you get matched by height and not athletic ability. Seriously, I thought I was guarding Shaq out there!
Mark and I are making dinner on Sunday. Laura and Christy had us over for dinner awhile ago and now we're returning the favor. Other people will be there too. Last time we had dinner at their place there were several of us. It was fun. They volunteered to cook this time but I insisted that we cook since they already cooked last time. I hope I do ok. How can I learn if I don't try, ya know.
I got everything I need for my radeo controlled car (RC car). All I need to do is build the thing. Jim, from work, said he'd help me. So far he keeps putting me off. I understand though. He's busy. And he's doing me a favor so I'll be patient. It cost me $500 to get everything I needed. I know. It's no cheap hobby. The motor alone cost $150. I got it for $100. A gallon of gas was $26. That'll last for a few months though. The radeo controller was a $200 item but got it for $75. In reality everything cost $800-900. But I got alot of great deals. I don't know though. It seems futile now. I might be going to New Orleans. So at the most I'll play with it for a few months. Then what? I'd plan on keeping it. But I could have used the money for saving towards N.O..
I need to fix my car too. I know the brakes need work. I think I can do then myself. I have the repair manual. I've read it through a few times and the repair is simple. I just don't know what to expect when I really look at it. I hope it's not too serious of a repair.
