H2O

no dying

Lets hope it goes the way you wish it would.

lots of SAL to flush out in the next couple weeks before i see anything popping

We def timed better.

Took over an hour to do free. We had an occasional breeze but we also were in a low lying area that had a trunk sewer line running along the creek. So the occasional whiff was pungent. The ONLY redeeming value from the meet was.....adult gatorade for timers. The host pool had margaritas in a jug. Oh man.

we didn't get done until 9:30. I'm def dead

110 heat index

This evening's B meet gonna suck. So close to retirement too

@FXW176 would be our resident expert. And he looks like ZZ Top now

Gonna find out today how the beach place faired. Neighbors will let us know.

Tree fell on a house just about 10 houses down from me. Total crush job

Apparently that storm NA1 posted dropped some serious rain and lots of thunder at home. My kid at a friends house lost power too

I have all kinds of creamed corn ready to go.

yum!!!! But I am safe from having the same fate as QueHeraHera

The one drawback I still have of being a meet official is that I can't really focus on my kids and watch them. I have to wait until after to find out how they did. Last night my daughter dropped a second in her fly leg of her relay and she was THRILLED!!! I can't enjoy that until the meet is done and want to cheer for her during the meet. Funny story. So two weeks ago at our B meet that was also hot I was doing assist chief timer due to being away at another pool. Well its winding down and we are in the IMs part. My oldest daughter is actually in the lane nearest to where I was doing my job. She's doing the IM and I see her starting to lag a little. So I broke form and went dad mode. Yelled loudly some encouragement. All of a sudden she kicked into high gear and rallied. After she got out she came to me and said "dad, I HEARD you!!!" And she said it helped. Thats what I wish I could do more.

I will miss being protected. And scared to post my beer choices out of fear of being called a douche....again.

Hot and muggy. There was a point early on when I got a whiff of this one somewhat larger dude and wished there was a breeze. There was none. The one we were at was small as well. Tiny and no shade until after 7. We got done in just around two hours so wasn't bad. The usual DQs in the little kid events but meet ran well. Kids were loud which made it tough to hear and talk to other parents/officials at times. We got second as well. Tied for it actually. Was surprised as well and happy cause we didn't get many 1sts. 2-4ths I guess carried us.

His name can also be "e hurrah" which is clearly troll

color me surprised

Its just gross out for 6:30am

They aren’t much for winter either.

It is 93.1 with a heat index 110. Uuuuuggggghhhh

I can only hope that it will be a quick hitter

Yikes. That’s actually not good for the family beach place.

Hmmmmm....this is appealing.
