Friday, May 21

6:15 a.m. - I worked a little 3-man umpiring last night.  My night was supposed to be two F/S games, but there was only one.  I got paid for two, so I jumped over on the other filed and worked 3-man with a couple other umpires.  It was good to refresh the old brain with 3-man mechanics.  Today should be a simple Friday, but apparently the natives are restless in the building....there was a fight, and we hardly every have fights in our building.  It must have been a good one, apparently there was a lot of blood from a broken nose.  It's the seniors last day...they will be extra silly.  It's a day where I try to stay in my room and hunker down away from the chaos as much as possible.  I woke up a little late this morning, so I'm going to cut this entry a little short.  I hope today goes quickly; I'd like to mow the grass and work on the pool when I get home after school.  There is no umpiring tonight, and it appears I'm not needed for youth softball this weekend.

5:16 p.m. - It freaking rained today...again...so mowing was rained out.  So I started working on the pool to vacuum.  Jack showed up to try to take a shot at the pool heater.  He got it!  He said he needed to purge the air, which I watched him do it.  It took a few tries, but the dang thing finally worked.  I put some chlorine in the pool, and now the pool is clean, warming up, and filtering.  Also, after that work was all done, Lowe's called and said our dishwasher can arrive on Monday. That's a good deal too.  So even though the yard looks terrible, the pool area is currently (knock on wood) functioning as well as can be expected.
