wednesday

tough day at the office. started with a meeting am and some outrageous demands were made of me that are unattainable, unrealistic and just plain stupid. managed to not bring the funk into the work place and had a good afternoon on the ball field playing baseball. on the way home it began to rain and is now raining hard and us in a flood situation.

yesterday am was a bummer too, started in the garage when i started the honda and tried to back up, damm thing wouldn't go into reverse or for that matter any gear. jumped into the van and made it into work, phoned the dealership and they said pry up a small tab and jab a key into the hole. i came back home and low and behold it works. now i have to find a way to get it to a shop and pay the big bucks to get it fixed.

sunday

sunday, sunday, went to town with wife shopping. it was a dull dreary day with not much happening so i thought what the hell, might as well be bored in town as bored here in M.

hit all the highlights, mall, wall mart, bookstore, grocery store.

supper with the granduns, home to tv. a boring life indeed, at least on sundays.

saturday

good day today, got up met the grandson, got him off to his yoga class, came home and rested up for my class at 11:30, after that i went into to the city, found a golf range and hit a large bucket of balls. Looks like i haven't lost the touch, hit them well.

watched some curling, my old team was playing, they lost, they needed me.

should tell you about yesterday, was playing ball with the kids and they asked me to bat. one of the grade 11's was pitching and i hit his first pitch out of the park, i don't know who was more surprised, the kids or me. followed that up with a switch hit double, another home run and a walk. old guys still have the touch it seems.

now if the damn water would recede and i could get golfing.

thursday

another day, work, pick up grandkids, feed them, and then for the first time in long time, i fell asleep in the chair. missed walking the dog, WOW!

dull day, water still up, not dissipating too fast.friday tomorrow, can't wait. no big plans but i will find something to do.

wednesday

nice day for a meeting, good thing the course was closed so the temptation was less.

grandson was quite a character after day care, watched some movies ate some supper and mom and dad took him home. walked the dog on the dike tonite, the water seems to be receding slowly but surely.

work tomorrow but i'm not looking forward to it, seems strange, it was a lot more fun before they made me the boss.

a little cat seems to like sitting on my shoulder these days, she never came near me for the first 6 years of her life, interesting, weird but interesting.

tuesday

another day another dollar, got home, fixed my bedroom window crank, raked the front lawn, took the xmas lights down, walked the dog ate supper, watched some tv, did some yoga, sent some pictures of the flood to friends. need some other hobbies to keep me busy.

off to meetings tomorrow, they are held at a great golf course, i think it is a form of torture, making us meet at a course and not letting us to use it.

oh well, tough life and all that crap.

monday

lazy in my blogging but hve been busy looking after grandchildren after school and watching flood waters rise. terrible weekend weather wise, but nicer today, would be at the golf course if it wasn't under 20 feet of water.

work sucks, but gives me someplace to go and something to do. need to find some other form of entertaining myself.

saturday

well we are completely surrounded by water, we can only leave via the east road. river is supposed to crest in the next day or two so hopefully we can make it til the river goes done. golf course is completely covered by water so a bit cleanup is in order.

cleaned the interior of the honda yesterday, it needed it. off to yoga tomorrow am, check out the big city, maybe order a few tires for the honda, maybe bring the clubs along and hit a few balls at the indoor range.

supposed to be a few showers tomorrow.

so far it has been a boring long weekend.

wednesday

wednesday, got all the equipment moved from the golf course to higher ground, water is comingup quickly. road north is closed so i have to travel to work a little differently.

babysat the grandkids after school, a good time was had by all.

curling is over, too much water and snow for golf, will have to survive with yoga.

easter weekend us upon us, time off again.

saturday

cool this morning, ice on the puddles, got up and moved equipment from the maintenance shed to the clubhouse on the hill. had to work quickly before the ground unfroze and got slippery, smooth turf tires and mud do not get along. managed to get everything moved except for the greens mower, will do that tomorrow before yoga class. river is rising fast and crest is a week away. it is getting close to the top of our dike and is forecast to rise over it, too bad, the course was going to be nice.

watching curling right now, martin against japan, ice is a little quirky, not an exciting game because of the ice conditions.
