Names in red are no longer with us

This is our Cayuga grade school basketball team in the 59/60 school year.  That means that these kids today would be 71/72.  At this point in time 5 of these kids have died and a sixth one was in a serious accident and is in a nursing home in a state of unable to get out of bed or talk.  I would say the odds of all this are low as I think the average age expectancy now is at least in the mid 70's.  I am glad our coach, Ray M. does not have his signature cigar in his mouth!!!  I liked him a lot.  As I have mentioned before he also coached our little league baseball team.  By the way the trophy is a second place, not the one we wanted but I guess being second sometimes is not bad.

Here we are starting the second full week of July.  I think this week will be about the same as last week, projects etc.  I am trying to be a good guy.  That means finishing a project and picking up after myself.  I know that sounds like nothing but for a guy who has made a habit of cultivating bad habits it is a big deal!  For sure it means time!!!

I did get a short ride on Bentley in this morning at 6:00.  My legs told me in no uncertain terms that I should not try to go too far.  I think I will blame it on Terry's and my new way of eating, HEALTHY.  After a week or two I will have my energy back but for now I have excuse after excuse after excuse!  Last fall I lost 2 tennis matches with those excuses!

My title today refers to lawns as I ride the side streets.  I think the goal of having a very nice looking lawn is out the window.  On Juno ave the 2 blocks between Cleveland and Cretin have about 44 houses.  MAYBE 1 or 2 have very nice looking lawns.  The rest are perhaps a 50/50 mix of grass and weeds.  Also of the 44 homes 6 have major add ons or complete rebuilds in the last few years.  

It feels like we are in for a hot few days.  As I sit here the open window does very little so after my FP I need to shut the windows, turn on the window AC and then get some water on the garden. 

I guess that is it as my FP just disappeared.
