sunday curling

won the last game of the season and the bonspiel. won some cash, i played really well. rocks off the ice, plant is turned off, hopefully the golf course doesn't flood, bring on the summer.

sunday

another cool morning, waiting for flood waters to come from north dakota, at least this cold is keeping the waters low here for now.

good day yesterday, started the day off with a vigorous yoga class in the city, me and 4 gorgeous young girls. off to the curling rink we played twice,won both and are playing today in the finals and are sure of making money.

got visited by the youngest grandson (3 years old) at the rink yesterday, he was great. grand daughter was at emergency yesterday, has a fever but she is a little toughie, has to be with an older brother.

off to take dog to ranch to play with her uncles.

snow day

curled last night, two games, we lost the finals of the club championship, very sad. curled well, but we were playing short handed, lead and second were no shows so we picked up a spare. we won the first game but ran out of gas in the second. final spiel of the season runs this weekend, not sure if i am curling or not. anyways, after the game i went out to the honda and it was covered with a sheet of ice, i tried for 5 minutes to chip a small hole to look through and made it home by feel.

this morning woke up to wind, snow and of course the ice already down on the road from last night. the school board was nice enough to cancel school so i headed out the the daughters to spend the am playing with the grandchildren.

everyone is worried about the upcoming flood, preparations are being made, my job is to make sure the equipment at the golf course doesn't get washed away. good thing i have next week to work on it.

another day another dollar, boring meetings all day. walked the dog, getting wet out there and a little muddy. cooked burgers on the bbq and then off to curling. missed a lot of shots tonite, played better as the game went along but hitting was weak, usually my best feature.

at least the weather was nice, plus 2 or 3, a little windy but sunny.

interesting meeting, alot of complaining about not enough funds for elite athletes to attend events, not much sympathy from me, my taxes will be going up to pay for it. make the little buggers pay there own way.
