Little League World Series

Anybody else following the Little League World Series this time around? As y'all know, I'm not big on baseball or basketball, but I DO like watching the regular World Series, as well as the Little League World Series. Ain't no stinking perv either, but these kids play with a lot of heart, and I RESPECT that, 10-4??? Besides, San Diego is in the running with the Sweetwater Valley team, who did a pretty good job of beating the Hawaiian team last night. Those Hawaiian kids didn't give up either, they came roaring back in the last inning and nearly upset the apple cart, but Sweetwater Valley prevailed in an exciting finish, where two SV players chased down a runner between bases (kinda like "Pickle" back in the day). Now the SV team is headed to Williamsport, PA, for some more baseball diamond action... obviously, I'll be rooting for the SV Boyz to go all the way, but we'll see what happens. Last night's game was on ESPN, and I reckon the rest of the games will also air on that channel, though some of our local San Diego channels may televise SV games if they progress far enough in the series. Anyway, you hands who are actually big on baseball, don't miss the action as these kids step up to the plate and knock the mud off their cleats, LOL. To me, Little League is the purest form of baseball... the players haven't been tainted yet by the professional scene. Alright, those are my observations for the morning, time to kick it and make some breakfast in a while, I've been outside for two hours knocking out some tasks, and I just took a cold shower to cool off in this miserable heat. Time for a little 4-speed industrial fan action, LOL. CIAO!!!
 
Hmm, I guess today's game between Sweetwater Valley & the kids from Bowling Green, KY, got rained out and postponed till tomorrow. No worries, I didn't miss any of it while I was collecting TACO DE PERRO from the animal shelter. Little dude is a really cool dog, and he seems to be fitting right in here at the ol' hacienda. The cats are all bigger than he is, and they've figured out that he doesn't really pose any threat. Sage is still a bit gripped, but I'm more worried about him damaging the dog, rather than the dog attacking him. Anyway, Little Taco is a happy camper, he's cruising all over the property and inspecting his new digs, which is precisely what I want him to do. Once he establishes himself and gains a sense of possession or territoriality, he should make an excellent guard dog... the vicious ankle-biting attack Chihuahua, LOL. Actually, all I want him to do is bark, and he has already done that in a nice strong voice, so I'm well pleased with him so far. He has a bad habit of following too closely on my heels at times, but in time he'll learn not to pull that annoying number. Pics come later, he sure is a handsome little devil... feed bill shouldn't be too high either, LOL. Plus he'll be macking human food scraps as well, I already gave him some cut-up pork chop scraps, and he macked all of those in record time. Little varmint ain't gonna starve here, that's for darned sure. I think he and Wingnut will be best buds here shortly, they've already checked each other out at very close range without any great conflict. Alright, time to log out and kick back for awhile, it has been a long day. TACO DE PERRO says, "ADIOS, PINCHE MONKEYBIKING GRINGOS!!! ER, I MEAN HEROES!!!" LOL.
 
Whoooooowheeeeeee... that Sweetwater Valley team is a powerhouse, Boyz, they really put the hurt on that team from Bowling Green, Kentucky. No disrespect to the Kentucky kids, I like "The Bluegrass" (as truckers call it), what's not to like with Churchill Downs and the Extreme Skatepark right there in the Louisville area, not to mention all those beautiful horse properties between Louisville and Lexington, as well as Mammoth Cave, the lakes on the west end, and a whole heap of other cool stuff. But boy, that Sweetwater Valley team is impressive, especially at bat, they really crack the homers and RBIs, 10-4??? Alright, just wanted to mention that, now I'm watching an ESPN Classic from '07 (?), a game between the Ohio State Buckeyes & the Wisconsin Badgers, two teams/schools with excellent football programs. I'm waiting for Little Wing to show up here at the house so I can take him to a new vet in I.B. (Imperial Beach, CA, most southwesterly city in the Lower 48, we locals used to call it "Venereal Beach" before it got cleaned up, LOL). The other vet got drop-kicked like I'm STARRIN' in the NFL, I have a low tolerance for incompetence and rip-off wanks... for the nearly $700 dollars I wasted on that kook, I could've bought ANOTHER dirt bike, AYE??? I took Wingnut to that first jerk on the recommendations of friends: I'll be sure to set them straight before the saga ends. $700... PFFFFFFFT, I should've followed my instincts and told that rip-off wank vet to P!$$ THE F___ OFF, then taken Little Wing to somebody else, but SINCE my friends CLAIMED that the vet was good, I got burned for $7 Benjamins, NOT a pastime I particularly enjoy. Meh, no worries, ya only burn us once before the whole town hears about it, I know a few local "flapjaws" that'll see to that whole business for me, I just gotta PRIME 'EM FIRST, "10-DASH-FO'?!?!?!?" Alright, Boyz, I'm back to this ESPN Classic film with Russell Wilson, of all QBs... isn't that the Seahawks QB??? Or has he moved on? DAMN, THAT SCORING PLAY BY THE BUCKEYES WAS INSANE, A FULL-ON HAIL MARY PASS ON THE RUN, WHAT A PLAY... okay, time to go, ADIOS!!!
 
"O, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home..." (Johnny Cash version, nobody does it better, LOL)

My ancestors came through KAN-TUCK-EE way back in the day, living there for awhile before moving farther west...

Ain't nothin' wrong with "THE BLUEGRASS, WAHOOOO!!!"

As an aside, I once accidentally drove my big truck across the Barkley Dam, LOL... a sure citation if one is caught.

I was just looking for a place to turn around, next thing I know, I was looking at water, LOL... beautiful lake too.

One thing about KAN-TUCK-EE, the people are driver-friendly, but the roads sure aren't, LOL.

Ya miss your turn, ya hafta drive 20 miles down a skinny, winding, two-laned blacktop road just to find a place to turn that rig around...

Ya can't just back up, flashers on, till ya find your turn again, because there's one j@ckhole on your bumper and he doesn't know enough to go around, LOL.

All this occurring at ZERO-DARK-FREAKIN'-THIRTY, of course...

Well, back to my rack, looks like little TACO DE PERRO (dogmeat taco en Espanol) has developed "kennel cough" (just my luck, it figures), so he'll be going to see the vet later this morning along with Little Wing, who is still limping around like a Civil War veteran in an old Sergio Leone movie... little b@stard needs a wooden cane, 10-4???

Meh, we'll get all that done today, since I never found Wingnut in time to take him to the vet's office yesterday...

Monkeybiking next week, maybe on Monday, once all this dust settles, LOL.

I'm outta here... wait for it... COLOR ME GONE, LOL... WOOHOO!!!

Dangit, sometimes I just slay myself...
 
Well, those Sweetwater Valley kids took a serious goddam drubbing today from that Texas team, and I'll give that Texas pitcher (Ben Goddfried?) credit, that young man knows how to hurl a baseball. He did BEAN that one Sweetwater Valley player, but 99.9% of his pitches were right down the pipe. [Long break] Now I'm watching the Rams-Titans game, just like that most excellent Super Bowl between the two teams in what? '99??? I can't remember, and I don't bother memorizing the numbers, but that year is in the ballpark, LOL. Meh, I'd better check this post, it may have expired with that long break I took, dealing with animals, phone calls, etc.

Got a truckload of yard work done this morning, 4.5 j@cked-up, gung ho hours of heavy yard work after a good night's sleep, 10-4??? Filled two giant bins with green debris... I was just gonna do the gnarly Natal Plum hedge that runs along one sidewalk for about 30' to 40', but the morning was so cool and pleasant, thick marine layer overhead, that I turned the corner and ripped out the rest of the bush & hedge trimming, an ugly task I enjoy about as much as I enjoy weed whacking inside the yards themselves, with stones, shrapnel and other debris hammering the bare shins between my bulletproof Vibram-soled boots and the lower edge of my ultra-baggy field shorts, LOL.

Ah, yes, how I LOVE weed whacking, one of these years I'll goddam wise up and start whacking weeds and trimming all the bushes & hedges with FREAKIN' NAPALM, maybe some AGENT ORANGE tossed in there for good measure, LOL... or at LEAST buy a suit of armor off C/L. Damn. But going back to weed whacking, I just LOVE when boulders the size of Rhode Island glance off my sunglasses (gotta have eye pro when weed whacking, redneck or no redneck) as I j@ck full throttle on the stinking weed whacker, BWAHAHAHAHA!!! F__ it, I ALREADY KNOW I need a bigger weed whacker, same way the shark hunters in "JAWS" needed a bigger goddam boat, so save yer breath with the advice, LOL. :13:

Dang, this beer tastes good as I watch this preseason NFL game, gonna mack some good burgers I forgot I had cooked and stored, the works pizza will wait a tad longer as I clear leftovers from the fridge, 10??? Not those heinous greenish freakin' furry science experiment burgers seen in certain site members' fridges, but damned good burgers, half of 'em marinated in decent BBQ sauce prior to cooking. There are times when I like a cheeseburger without BBQ sauce on it (HERESY!!!---LOL), but it's the unvarnished, blistering & peeling truth, DAMMIT!!! I usually mack fully-dressed double cheeseburgers with BBQ sauce as marinade, but there ARE times when I go the other route.

ALRIGHT, GOTTA TAKE A BREAK FOR A MOMENT, BE BACK IN ABOUT... UM... FIVE CENTURIES, LOL!!! :16:

On The D/L

Well, Boyz, I overdid it with the hedge clippers yesterday, my left elbow is aching something fierce today, and that's with two aspirins, a "Bubble Hash Jolly Rancher" and some other stuff in my system, not to mention a tub of Tiger Balm on the wrapped joint itself. Those blasted hedge clippers are sharp, but the bushes & hedges were so tough that I really had to hammer on the clippers, and boy am I feeling it today. You've heard of "tennis elbow?" Well, I don't play that game, I have "hedge clipper elbow" like any good coastal redneck, 10-4??? Pretty soon, I'm gonna have "12-ounce curl elbow" (in the other arm) from hoisting multiple bottles o' beer, but first I hafta get cleaned up and run get some more medicine for Little Wing, the blasted varmint. It's really difficult, getting him to take his medicine, even with the "Cone of Shame" round his neck. The plastic cone does make administration easier, but the task is still a flamin' PITA, and there's an attrition rate with the meds, not all of 'em make it down Wing's gullet, some of 'em wind up decorating the "Cone of Shame" (a freakin' mess).

Alright, I gotta go, this right-handed "pick & peck" keyboard action ain't cuttin' it, I'm startin' to feel pretty special, 10??? I can say that because I have a long history of volunteer work among persons with disabilities... more than you will ever know. When I drove the chase vehicle for a sponsored wheelchair roll from Dago to Frisco, 15 m.p.h. and flashers on the whole way (no interstate or freeway action), we held up MILES of traffic in Sepulveda Pass as Kenny was interviewed at the side of the road by Channel 13 in L.A. (I forget the call letters of said station). That was one heckuva trip, I pulled about three dozen (maybe more) roadside battery changes for the electric chair en route, and we ran up on a freakin' gnarly heat wave at the tail end of the run... the heat literally FRIED several control modules, bringing our roll to a premature end somewhere between Santa Clara and San Jose. But I digress, y'all can see the pics from that wheelchair roll somewhere at Truckforum.org (don't ask me where, but they're in there somewhere, LOL, maybe in the 'Got Chrome??? How about Armor???' thread in the General Truck Forum). That was one crazy road trip, never seen the like before or since, LOL.

Okay, time to get rolling on breakfast and a shower, then I get to take a nice scenic drive down the Silver Strand for more meds for Wingnut, the wild, bat$h!t crazy Bengal Cat... thank my lucky stars, he's sleeping peacefully in his wooden bowl right now, the "Cone o' Shame" balanced upon the rim of the bowl. His starboard hind leg looks better, just ugly as sin with the bloody drains hanging out of it... poor little dude, he has been through a lot recently, which is precisely why I want to keep him doped up to the eyeballs, that way he can rest and recover while the antibiotics do their work. I'm outta here, color me... er... aching, unsettled and somewhat tired, LOL. The good news: a truckload of cerveza is on its way to the ol' hacienda. The bad news: no monkeybiking for this kid until the freakin' elbow subsides, thing is aching something fierce right now, might be time for some medical smoke therapy in the form of a big ol' bong hit o' chronic, LOL. Whatever it takes to calm down this aching elbow of mine, no wonder some folks choose to amputate limbs, 10-4??? I'm ready to saw the goddam arm off myself once I get enough beers in my system. ADIOS, MONKEYBIKING HEROES & CRUSTY DEMONS O' DIRT!!!

:red70: :yellow70: :red70: :yellow70: :red70:
 
Get well soon Sidewinder. You don't need a excuse to drink and smoke tho. You're old enough to know better, AND old enough to do it anyway, if you so choose. We're all dyin so we probably ought to live a little.

A drugstore or homemade sling might help that arm to rest and heal.
 
As adults, we all make choices... I went without weed for long periods, many years at a time while out trucking, due to the random testing scene. All well and good, but now that I'm in my 50s and things are falling apart from hard usage, I find chronic to be the best form of pain management. Never did like prescription meds, they just don't work as well... when I had my hernia operation in '98, the doctor gave me a bottle of Percosets (?), and that junk was useless, I went through the bottle in record time and the cr@p didn't do a thing for me. The doctor expressed surprise when I asked him for something stronger:

"You went through the whole bottle already???"

My response:

"NEXT TIME, GIVE ME SOMETHING THAT WORKS."

On a side note, he noticed me squirming as the staples were removed from my belly, and he told me, "Infants have this procedure done."

My response:

"BETTER THAN GETTING SHANKED IN THE GUT AT 35..."

You should've seen his face, it was almost comical: "SHANKED IN THE GUT?!?!?"

Much of pain management consists of calming down the patient and eliminating anxiety about the immediate future... weed does just that, and it does it better than those nasty prescription meds with all their negative side effects. Moi, I'll take the organic medicine over the chemical cr@p any day of the week. And it IS medicine for those with chronic pain issues. I don't really have bad chronic pain like some folks, but I overdo things every now and then and flare-ups occur. I also have a right shoulder and left knee which will never be 100% again, short of expensive reconstructive surgery, but I've learned to live with those. Most of the time, if I'm careful, they don't bother me that much. Maybe one day I'll be in a position to get that surgery done, maybe not... I'm okay with it, it's all part of the aging process. In the meantime, I'll cut loose whenever I feel like it, I have a "weed card" from a licensed M.D., a precaution I took only to prevent these lying greaseball cops and scrub Epic Darwin Failure D.A. from slinging more bull$h!t charges... at $40 per year, it's the best and cheapest insurance I ever purchased in my life.

Well, it's feeding time at the zoo, and I hafta give Taco & Wingnut their meds, both are coming along nicely with their healing processes, and Wing should have the drains removed from his starboard leg mañana. He'll be a happy camper once that happens, I reckon, though he still has to wear "The Cone of Shame" for another week, maybe a few days if his recovery is swift. Dealing with all these animals recently, I feel somewhat tired, so I reckon a big ol' nap is in the cards this afternoon. First I have chauffeur duty on the regular Balboa Naval Hospital run, and I also have to change the water in the aquarium, though that might wait one day if I'm really tired by the time I return from Balboa. It's my elderly mum who has the routine appointment, but getting her out the door and loaded into the car is always a hassle, and I won't even get started on the drives, LOL. Every time some stupid wetback pulls a dangerous maneuver near the Camry, I sound off about it, and the ol' argument rears its ugly head... at her age, hailing from a different generation and all, she doesn't understand the negative impact of these wetbacks upon American society, nor does she grasp the huge costs involved, costs relayed directly to American taxpayers.

Meh, no need to get started on all that b.s., or I'll be here all week. "The Donald" will set things straight once he's in the Oval Office. He has heard all about my long ordeal at the hands of these lying greaseball cops and evil perv scumbucket D.A., that nasty scrub, not to mention their criminal involvement in the Zahau murder cover-up, Cynthia Sommer case, Foley shooting, and countless other sketchy incidents and cases of malicious prosecution. I told "The Donald" that he could garner MILLIONS OF VOTES NATIONWIDE by vowing to crack down on these out-of-control, wannabe-militarized, lyin' badge-sportin' greaseballs and the criminal scum who routinely protect them, not to mention their bull$h!t pension scams wherein they retire at my age, collecting 100% of their salaries and benefits. I told Trump he had a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY IN HIS HANDS with the ZAHAU MURDER COVER-UP: that case garnered GLOBAL PUBLICITY, and it could do the same for him if he vowed to reopen the investigation, using independent federal agencies under his direct command, and not these lying greaseball cops, scumbag sheriff, and crooked scrub perv D.A.

"The Donald" also heard about that whole "prison realignment" scam cooked up by turkey-necked scrub Brown, that slimy maggot... a scam where innocent law-abiding citizens are falsely charged and their bail jacked sky-high, ensuring false imprisonment for at least six months while crooked greaseballs rake funding money, $10 GRAND PER MONTH PER "INMATE"---guess who pays for all of that? Furthermore, I pinged on greaseball "school administrators" like the scumbag who lied under oath in my latest round of false charges, a documented liar who went unpunished because the scrub perv D.A. had his back, the same way she had the other documented liar's back in my first costly jury trial. More dirty swine slurping at the public trough, these school administrators with their ridiculously bloated salaries and pensions... the dirty swine. I'll see that one f@ggot lose his job, or I'll die tryin'... I could go on forever here, but ya gets my drift, and trust me, "The Donald" is hearing all about it in the greatest of detail, LOL. I'll see that nasty criminal scrub perv D.A. taken down yet, along with her lying goombah f@gtard minions and her gay little robed sodomite pocket judges, those criminal scum o' the earth.

"YA F___ WITH THE BOONE FAMILY, YA GETS THE HORNS, BI-YATCHES!!!!!"

Alright, now it's time to feed and dose the animals, LOL. ADIOS!!!

Didn't know you were in your 50's, lol so am I. I have noticed that it takes more time for aches to go away if you over do it. I would advise staying away from total joint reconstruction unless it's absolutley necessary. I had my ankle screwed w/titanium pins after a bad break and I had to have them all removed after it healed. Most patients can live with the small screws but it just ain't natural.

Vicodin & other pain meds suck to be on em, give you constipation & salt peter at the same time! lol!
Ibuprofen 80mg and a hot soak goes a long way.

I Hate Pills and Doctors!Bunch of arrogant A-holes. :dwarf:
 
^^^ Dude I know broke his thighbone while out riding, and he has had a titanium rod in his leg for decades... good rider too, better than most, he just got a little too crazy on his bike. When he dies, some grave-robbin' crackerhead will dig up his corpse to bag the titanium, LOL. ^^^

Grudge match tonight between Sweetwater Valley (Bonita, CA) and the kids from Pearland, TX... elimination game, the winners move on, the losers go home. Game starts at 1700 hours (5 P.M.) Pacific Time on ESPN, should be a good one, I know I'm not gonna miss it.

Boy, was it ever hot out there today, hopefully this is the last spell of heat and humidity for the season... I'm not the only one here in town looking forward to some fall weather. Everyone I know is tired of this heat & humidity, can't wait for those crisp fall mornings and evenings...

"ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!?!?" :41: :yo: :41: LOL.

Damn, this is a good ballgame between CA & TX, tied at 4-4... catch the ending if you can, the game's on ESPN. Good baseball, that's for sure, the real thing... :77: Whoa, Sweetwater Valley up by two runs... WOOHOO!!!
 
6-6, my friend, LOL... those TX Boyz ain't givin' up, they're scrappin' like the Boyz at The Alamo!!! I can say that, since I have many relatives in "The Lone Star" (as truckers call it), and I also like San Antone, The Alamo and the RiverWalk are both awesome, for different reasons, of course. The Tower of the Americas doesn't suck either, nice glass elevator ride and view from the top, LOL.
 
Best thing of all, while watching this game, I thought I was outta beer (and I am, since Wingnut stole half the bottles, the blasted varmint), but I opened a cabinet and discovered two fingers of rum left in a big ol' 1.75L bottle, what we locals call a "handle" since the bottle has a handle molded into it. Bacardi Select, meh, but it'll make a couple o' good drinks and save me the hassle of running to the store. Even though there's cola in the fridge, I'm trying a mix of rum and chocolate milk, tastes pretty good, LOL... might try horchata next, purely for scientific reasons. Nothing like a little experimentation on the drinks front, 10??? Plus I have a big ol' sack o' chronic back in my room, so I'm not worried about making a 3-block beer run, LOL. WTF, a friend might show, and I'll pay HIM to run up and bag some more beer. :21: :red70: :21:

"DUDE, TAKE THE [GREEN STICKER] MONKEYBIKE!!!"

:yellow70: :red70: :scooter: :red70: :yellow70:

Whoa, this rum & horchata is surprisingly tasty, LOL. Man, oh, man, this game is INSANE, thought TX had the game there, but the center fielder caught it. What a game...
