Yikes!! 😬 That’s is quite a typo! 

 

Hope everyone is doing well.  I’ve been away for awhile and well over 10 pages behind.  

 

We board Vision in less than a week for Bermuda.  Yah!!  Looking forward to that.

Sometimes I look back at what I did pitching as a kid I’m amazed I still have an arm.  One game as a Jr in HS I pitched 11 innings…I’m sure I threw 150+ pitches.  Crazy thing is my arm felt great the next day…in fact that was a Tuesday game and I came back and threw another 7+ innings on Friday.

I was fast ball pitcher on softball teams for Jr high and high school as well as local township team.   

My schedules were crazy.  I would pitch a game for school then some nights have to pitch again for the traveling township league.   

I remember being exhausted when alarm would go off at 6 am to get up for school but lucky enough never had any physical issues (other than an ankle problem from sliding into 3rd base one game).

Today is my California grandson’s 12th birthday.   We had an early party for him before he went back home.  
 

He sent us this picture, not so much for him, but he wanted us to see the peacock wandering around at his friend’s house. It is in front of the one car.

I am wondering how long that flow rider activity band will stay on his arm.  22 days and counting now.

Good afternoon.

It is windy and just starting to rain.

Saga cruise ship Spirit of Adventure has just passed on the horizon.

It is not due into Newcastle until 08.00am tomorrow but it is quite close to the River Tyne piers now.

I found out that this photo was manipulated through AI to make the typo.

Many years ago I wanted to get on a company softball team.I said I could pitch.After I gave up 8 runs in 2 innings.I was wanted on the team because I was a great hitter.I tried every position and was terrible until they tried me as catcher.One night the team we were supposed to play said they would have to forfeit because their catcher could not make it to the game.As we were playing for $5 a man plus beers everyone wanted the game to be played .It was agreed that I would catch for both teams but not bat.We lost the game.

Yesterday a beautiful day here in the New Jersey / New York area. Today expected to be as well. 

 

We drove to the beach at Robert Moses State Park, Long Island, New York. Here are some photos:

 

NYC from the George Washington Bridge as we "crawled" over ....

At the beach. A pretty calm ocean and we saw a bunch of dolphins (not pictured) as well.

We walked by the Fire Island Lighthouse on our way to the town of Kismet for lunch.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 

PS We did a B2B in Europe in July / early August on Anthem. Our first cruising in Europe. Loved it!

I am amazed that toy is still attached, kittens currently sleeping in their condo after spending morning either fighting or trying to get that toy. Hosting monthly poker game in about a hour . My niece and goddaughter just sent her  soon to be 21 year old daughter to spend a semester in Italy, her twin  brother will be flying to Vegas with his buddies right after he turns 21 , we will be in Denver visiting my sister next weekend and her children and grandchildren.

Susan and I have been out on several trails the last couple days.  
 

Thursday, we met up with several of her sisters, and had lunch at Conneaut Lake with a nice view.  
 

IMG_2952.thumb.jpeg.a19c7c9252c7bf5af2120d3bae85b8fc.jpeg
 

We went to see “It Ends With Us”, then hiked part of a trail in Meadville. We quit after a couple miles, because the mosquitos were so bad.  
 

Yesterday, we were hiking in Ohio. Parts of the trail were not bad. 
 

IMG_2961.thumb.jpeg.6e58a1c94c55f630f9cc634bfa02cb68.jpeg

 

Parts were a challenge. 
 

IMG_2963.thumb.jpeg.a07845a547d1b39da7060d9d10f30d78.jpeg

 

The trails have quite a few stone walls that were built in the 30’s under WPA

 

IMG_2969.thumb.jpeg.e2cb7caaedbfbfbf6fd86e48fadcc42e.jpeg

 

Found a WPA stone. 
 

IMG_2970.thumb.jpeg.3a58b643273825fc3c5462a3deefe876.jpeg

 

Today, we were walking the Peninsula bike trail in Erie.  Found one of these, and it comes with instructions.

and, I found a lighthouse for @Ocean Boy

After that hard walk, time for refreshments

New item at Costco.  It went on sale yesterday through the end of August.  It was so popular that it was all gone by 10:15AM this morning.


I bet.  I love those dumplings.
