6:10 a.m. - The sun is up yet, but we may have gotten a little snow last night. Regardless of that, the weather forecast is not looking promising for this weekend and camping. Accuweather is calling for a "significant weather outbreak"...geez. If that's the case, I'll bite the bullet, consider my $48 a donation to Loud Thunder, and keep the Eagle in storage.
Yesterday was a day that featured the the Southwell grandchildren, good exercise, and basketball viewing. For my exercise I actually did a little research and thinking and planning and notetaking on developing some type of strength training regimen. I tried out some exercises and determined some sets and reps and gave it a whirl. I'm pretty dang sore today, but I feel good about the effort. After that...which was just pretty simple stuff in the basement...I went out to Loud Thunder for a walk. It was nice to be outside even if the weather wasn't real pretty. The snow is gone, but everything is very mushy. The staff at Loud Thunder has worked on clearing a lot of brush from areas near the roads into the campgrounds...the effect is to have the area look a lot more opened up.
I then came home and spent some more time with Tucker and Rosie and then after Amber took them home, I watched some basketball. The men's final four is just crazy....only one power five team. And then I watched the Iowa women play and win a trip to the women's final four. The women's game is a lot of whistles...takes forever. I guess when I'm officiating junior high and high school girls and feel like there are a lot of whistles, the same thing continues into college.
Today at school we are back into the training path series. And today, we hear from James Puckett of General Grind, who will speak to us about school to employment path. This is an important presentation, but many students won't get the connection to their lives, so I will have to try to help them along. This is a little bit of a short week because Mrs. Bohnsack is with students on Thursday, and we have a half day on Friday. Tuesday features Monmouth College, and Wednesday features the NAVY. It should be a good week at school - now if I can just get the dang weather to cooperate.
I'm supposed to umpire in Monmouth today...I don't think there was near as much snow there, so maybe we'll get in a game. Accuweather says 50 degrees with partial sunshine...that could work.
