Rain Arrives

Our consecutive days of dry weather for a winter season ended this morning. I believe the final tally was 69 consecutive days without any measurable precipitation. So far this morning, we have .34 " since it began around 3 AM. We desperately need the rain, so bring it on.

The procedure for rain-outs of the spring training games is this: We show up on time for our regularly scheduled jobs, clock in, and stand around until the game is officially called. What kind of foolish procedure is that? Some folks, ourselves included, travel some distance to work and if it is obvious that the game isn't going to be played, why have them come in to work at all? With the changes that have been this year and with the seemingly lack of organization versus last year, we are thinking this will be our final year working these games. At least it will be the final year at this location.

We sent an email to the Owner/GM of the Western Inn in MT to notify her that we are passing on the opportunity to work there this summer. It just doesn't make sense for us to work different days and not have a chance to go places and do things together the whole summer. She may have a hard time locating a couple that will be willing to work that schedule. We are looking forward to a third year working in Jackson, WY, and enjoying all that the area has to offer once again.

I have scheduled Monday AM to take our Jeep into the dealership to have the one tire exchanged and to have the trailer hitch installed. That means that I will take Josie to work and then pick her up at the end of her day. Our truck is enjoying the rest it is getting and we are still running on the initial tank of gas since we bought the vehicle last Sunday.

Have a great March everybody...
