Its Saturday April 8th 2023 what are Y'all up too

Special Olympics Regional Tennis Tourney in Denton, TX. First time playing tennis for her. They group everyone by skill level. No one was at her skill level AFTER everyone on her team played 2 games each. They never called her name. Bummer. SO..........they have a skills challenge or doubles play in the afternoon session. She chose Skills challenge with Dads persuasion. She ended up doing real well for her first time. 2nd place in her division. Arrived at 8:15am (1hr drive) and left at 3:30. My buddies have been calling me all day about the loss of Josh DeMuth because they know Danielle had an incredible relationship with him and were concerned about her. Which was totally cool but..........they asked what are you doing today? My answer was a comparison to this: Go home with a paint brush and a gallon of paint. Apply to the wall, then stand there for 7 hrs and watch it dry! When you have kids, you have to sacrifice your days sometimes. Special Olympic Athletes will ground you immediately. They're the happiest people on Earth. YOU don't have problems BTW...........They are so happy to be there trying to hit a tennis ball and we're complaining about the bills we have to pay. They miss more times than they hit the ball and they LOVE it. High Fives all day long. And the volunteers are incredible people. VOLUNTEERS! No pay, just wonderful human beings. Tomorrow, I'm buying a gallon of paint to see if my comparison is right. Happy Easter Y'ALL! Peace  

 
Took my Can- am on the maiden voyage. Left calico and went by the Husky monument. Ended up in Johannesburg kern county and then went back. 197 miles! 8 cars. Had to use my reserved gas just to make it one way. Had a blast. That thing is like on rails   Hitting two track at 40-60+ mph. Sunday going to church. Time with family and dinner

Kids were on spring break last week so we did some local camping at Rancho Jurupa. Attempted to catch some trout with no luck. Youngest daughter broke her wrist riding her scooter. She went to urgent care, got it reset, soft casted and wanted to come back camping. She’s a pretty tough kid. That’s the end of softball season though. Got home on Friday and have been nursing a head cold or something this weekend.

Good time. Great weather and good snow. Not mammoth snow, but good snow 35 minutes from my house, good snow. My kids are killing it on the slopes. Wish my bro could have been there. Lots of memories.20230409_132539.jpg20230409_132922.jpg20230409_132713.jpg20230409_143455.jpg
