  1. pulled from his speech. "Olin Saylors. I played American Legion ball for Post 14. He came by my house every day and picked me up. I didn't really want to play ball, but Olin was very [determined] to make me play baseball for American Legion Post 14." The story goes Jim walked past the Legion practice, my uncle ask him if he wanted to play. he came on the field, picked up a bat. the first couple pitches thrown to him he took yard. After that he never came back. my uncle hunted him down. Jim said he couldn't play, he had to work. My Aunt and Uncle bought him food and clothes as they didn't have much. the rest is history as they say.
  2. I think i mentioned this before, my Uncle Olin coached Jim Rice when he was a teenager in South Carolina. He even mentioned him in HOF speech.
  3. yes. showered for like 5-10 minutes, then dumped for 5 minutes and 40 seconds
  4. thats why i was pretty happy to get the downpour we had a bit ago, at least it was something
  5. Nothing like baking on the beach, then going back to rental and baking. Mike, if you stay in a semi state of inebriation, the heat may not bother you edit- nice shower now in Harrisburg
  6. wow, 74? We're pretty close. She likes to shoot too, but ammo prices are crazy. I limit her now when we go for Sunday breakfast/shooting Sundays. She empties mags quicker then i drink beer
  7. Not an O's fan, but y'all know my daughter is a Baseball nut. She's taking me Baltimore to June 21st game. A kid who graduated from Millersville with her plays for the Astros
  8. That is interesting. maybe soon they'll deny the lower temps and we will actually be sunny and 80

  13. It does. I have been going to Pittsburgh since the 70s. its the only bad experience. He was a poor drunk. anyone know off hand what the record low temps are for the upcoming days, any chances of breaking records?
  14. Several years ago i had a guy start shit by Bettis Restaurant in that courtyard prior to a Steelers game. Made a comment to my daughter. didn't go well for him. The cops were close by and were there quick and saved him from more embarrassment. As soon as they found out i was a fireman, i was sent on my way Agreed. i have been to a lot of professional sports venues, they're deplorable. My daughter a caps fan, loves him! to weather- im not certain our chances in the LSV are that great for storms later today, i'm just not buying it. Looks like Monday will be the nicest over the holiday.
  15. Last Friday, we had a 1945 Fully restored Ford looked just like this. i felt bad for the old dude who restored it.

  19. i broke down and turned the air on last night. daughter couldn't handle it. Still looking like 90 Sunday. Good day for a Senators game and cold brew. If we keep these temps up, i may get in the pool memorial day weekend.
  20. i have had to mow twice a week since the grass growing season started. But i could tell last night when i mowed, the growth rate has slowed. It may be a long summer.
