Well Tuesday must have been the hottest I've seen in many moons with temps at 101* around 4:30 in the afternoon as we traveled to Brandon for Gabe's practice baseball game. He is on the second Allstar Team and they were playing the first team and now we know why the first team is so named. The first couple innings were respectable but then the bats exploded for the first team. When we left the field around 8:30 it was still 91 *.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out. I'm wakening around 4 ish the past couple days and then I start to visualize all I want to accomplish before leaving Florida and then what I want to do first when arriving at the cabin which we last saw 7 months. I'll be this way until about the third night at cabin when I will finally stop my mind from running in over drive. It's almost like a week of a kid so excited about going fishing and this happens all the time when I'm going to head out from the cabin or in reverse when I'm leaving to come back to Florida, oh well.
I did my quiet time and got ready to head out on my bike to the rec. for what was 3 hours of pickle ball. The last hour was with only A players and the first hour wasn't an easy one either with good players but they weren't tournament players. I left around 11'ish and headed home to hand water the seedlings and grab a quick left over burger before heading over to the Ford place to have the truck serviced and then make a Sam's stop for gas before leaving out to Brandon around 3. Gas was 2.39 gal. at Sam's which despite Tampa have a an extra gas tax was the price we saw in Tampa. Seems Pinellas is being gouged again.
The toll road was congested in places due to volume and construction but we made it in about an hour and half which only took about half that time coming home after rush hours. The volume is just unbelievable in the bay area and I'm so looking forward to the rush hour in Sparta. We got back in time after a shower to watch the Ray's win again 3-1 over the Jay's. They are about even with Yank's in the standing's, LATER
