Activity

yeah, Gable totally underestimated Hendrickson’s improvement I sense he was a bit gassed in those final seconds. I’ve never seen anyone hold him down like Hendrickson did. I don’t think Steveson wants his career to end like it did at the NCAA and expect he’ll be on the mat in Las Vegas. Parris will be there so that will make for an interesting…[Read more]

My brother texted me about that match saying the announcers were out of their minds with this win. I kind of feel bad for Gable, he has had a number of disappointments with WWE and NFL, this is really amazing. I watched the last 45 seconds or so of the match. I thought Gable would get away right at the end but Hendrickson held on for the…[Read more]

I presume you’ve watched Hendrickson take out Steveson by now. If not, it’s worth the time. Hendrickson was on top of his game. Steveson looked like he expected to win easily.

I can’t do that. I watch it during the day but not in the evening.

I did think it interesting that #1 and #2 at 125 both lost in the quarters. PSU lost in the lightest two weights. Lilledahl fell. I haven’t looked since they were at 141 so I will have to look at that word.

NCAA weekend. Wifey not happy, too much wrestling on the tube. We go through this every year. Sunday will be back to normal.

Well I hope not. That would not be good news. It is fairly close to Mt St Helens. It has been quaking as well over the years. But increased activity is always something to watch closely word.

It looks like you may get chance this year. Mt. Adams is rumbling. It was an incredible spring day, 68F and blue sky.

You know, I don’t have any ash from that. I do know that the year after was a bumper crop of apples because the ash would allow the water go get to the ground but it prevented the water from evaporating. So the apple trees had more water at their root system. I did a research paper on that in college. It wasn’t the minerals, silica doesn’t…[Read more]

My cousin wax in Washington at the time and shipped a jar of ash. I still have it somewhere with my mineral collection. He’s with the Coast Guard but has since moved up to Alaska and is captain of a cutter patrols US the fishing and crabbing boats. The Chinese and Russians like to poach the US. He’s boarded quite a few of their ships.

I don’t live near there. But I hadn’t heard that. I had heard there are rumblings on Mt Rainier. I’ll check out Mt Adams.

We have a bunch of volcanoes here in PNW. I remember when Mt. St. Helens blew, I was a teen just east of Seattle. That was a big deal. Lots of people dead. Many steamed and melted. Others washed away with…[Read more]

System went goofy again blocking y log in.

I hope you don’t reside near Mount Adams. They are saying it’s getting ready to blew it’s top.

I’ve seen some traffic about this kid on the intermat forums. Unless they are going to put him in jail, I think they should let him wrestle. If he could be out on bail in time for the state tourney, he should be able to wrestle. I don’t mind the assault charge, but if he gets out on bail he is free to move around as he pleases legally, and I…[Read more]

The state wrestling tournament enters the finals this weekend. We have a 3X champ that got himself in a real pickle at the district tournament 2 weeks ago. His father confronted a bunch of opposing fans about their jeering. One pushed him backward and on top of fans in lower seats. The kid had just won his district title bout and ran up into…[Read more]

Expense of incarceration is deemed excessive.

Wild weather bouncing between high 50’s and mid 30’s. Wind has been 30-40 mph which makes 55 chilly.

The gang was over for wifey’s birthday. I booked a trip to Bermuda in June, and then Switzerland, Italy and France in August.
Her reply, “It’s about time we’re going somewhere.”

Yes, it has happened rather rapidly. Similar in Seattle. Seattle was known as the emerald city for 50 years. But since about 10 years ago, it has rapidly declined. Same thing, what was a felony is now a misdemeanor, no cash bail, letting people go after arraignment. It is just crazy. Why is this happening word?

The Bronx and Brooklyn are disasters these days. Both are NYC boroughs, and the city council basically follows Sa Francisco management. They rewrote the felony crime book and downgraded much to misdemeanors and adopted no cash parole. Crime is rampant and even worse given the volume of aliens now residing in the city. Downtown NYC is a crime…[Read more]

Petting farms are good. We didn’t run into any trouble. I did hear today that a Brooklyn McDs now no longer allows minors younger than 20 in the place without a parent and ID. Apparently, the place was a shambles as the kids ran amok. Robbing, stealing, knifings, fightings, harrassment, now are all gone and the place is much quieter. Its…[Read more]

We haven’t been to a zoo since the kids were little, the Bronx Zoo. It’s a tough neighborhood to drive through to get there. Last time we went, we were stopped at a light and three thugs threatened to smash the van with bats unless we gave them money. Fortunately, the light turned, and I sped off not looking back for injuries. From then on, we…[Read more]

Spent the day at the zoo not seeing many animals. However a silverback gorilla semi half heartedly pounded on the glass, so that was exciting. They are big!! Overall a good day, but the 2 and 5 year olds held out better than my wife and I. We figured 2 hours and that would be it. I think we were there for 4 and 1/2 hours word.

Hit 60 here yesterday so I spent a lot of time outside in the sun. I opted to replace a broken wheel stud which turned into a major effort getting the caliper off. I watched video on Youtube and the guy made it look easy getting the caliper bolts out. No doubt he restarted the video after spending a lot of time getting them loose. I’ve since…[Read more]
