Since when is posting in the coffeehouse on a message board rocket science? lol

Taking a break from trying to get this stuff done for this class that counts for nothing... but this far in I wanna get it finished! never again will I get this behind on something! (yeah, right) Old habits (from late night studying in the dorm) die hard.

Gary is done with the pesto, getting hammered by the treadmill and cleaning out the filtration on the pond. His next task to to make some pasta to go with the pesto and leftover turkey meatloaf. Gary takes a break and inspects the sports page ... omg ... the Dodgers have won 47 out of their last 50 games.

The Dodgers are playing out of their minds.

Sunday scramble today. My partner got a hole in one. Snapped it on my wife's iPhone. Took one on my Holga 35 as well , in color. This was his tenth Ace in his career. Never seen one until today. He is 68 and an excellent golfer.

10 in total? That's incredible.

That's also a huge green. Also known as a blessing and a liability...

And there is a huge, deep bunker right in front.

The analysis of the latest rocket lauches diagnosed engines from the SS7 and SS9 aera even. I did not do research. I just summarized what the FAZ on Sunday printed this morning. And they got the Article online (in German): Technik aus Russland?: Nordkoreas fleißiger Helfer

It was all about reading real paper papers in the morning, as dinosaurs like Gary & me & OLWs do it and love it.

Newspaper accounts of stuff like this are generally sketchy at best. Probably a 1000% more accurate than Fox News, etc, but still lacking a lot of accurate information.

The new pasta dryer in action.

Ugh.

More. Rain.

Very tired of rain. The streams are very high for a good portion of the state. We don't need another major flood here so soon. Last major flood (at least for central/southcentral PA) was in 2011.

Don Baylor died today at 68. I met him years ago at Tiger Stadium and was a very kind guy. I had snuck in to Tiger stadium, over the players parking lot. He was there yucking it up with Lou Whitiker and Ron Leflore . They busted me and my buddy jumping the high, sharp, fence but were totally cool about it. Ron Leflore gave us a ten dollar bill and said to stay out of trouble. Baylor said, "I doubt that's gonna happen". I think it was 79. Baylor was very kind as where the others. Good memory.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers, No rain here in the Southland. The Marine Layer is back, a refreshing 73F presently, may hit the low 80's by the afternoon. Sorry about Don Baylor. I remember him with the Angels and as the manager for Colorado. I remember him getting a lot of HBP's. Cool that you met him.

Yes, he was with the Angels when I met him. He was a large hulk of a man. Dan Petry pitched that day and seem to recall he pitched lights out. My buddy also caught a Champ Summers hone run ball during BP, I didn't catch it but nabbed a Bobby Grich home that was ping ponging all over the place.

Rain is on the way for here. I also got my scans in from my two most recent rolls of film. I'm extremely happy, and I'll be littering them around here once they've completely downloaded.

I heard cows this morning going by... then in a few minutes heard one again, guess they were out joy riding.
(Actually was thinking the fair here is done... then realized the state fair just ended so I'm guessing they'd been showing there.)

I sort of like a nice rainy day and just slept in today, it was nice having windows open and the rain smelled so good. But we've had enough rain already! not hot but not really cool either, can't make up its mind what season it is today. After today supposed to be dry. I'm ready for grass that stops growing and doesn't need to be cut.
