Aight.

Friday: not much, but found out the next day that not only did a buddy (Don Merckle, RH Tig) go see Hayes Carl/BoH at Windjammer, that I somehow missed was happening, they actually had an extra ticket because another guy didn't show up. So they totally called me, right? Of COURSE NOT. They gave it to some stranger in line who needed a ticket.

Saturday: discovered the previous night's miss when I went to the batting cages with aforementioned Donald, who plays in the 38+ baseball beer league; he hadn't swung a bat in a few weeks and had a game on Sunday, and needed somebody to handle his balls for him, so I'm usually the first call there, unlike when extra tickets for Hayes Carl are hanging out, looking for a home. Anyway, I stepped up to the plate just for shits and giggles, haven't swung a bat in a good 25+ years, and went through about 30 shag balls at ~70mph. Surprisingly...made contact with almost every swing. Some foul tips and maybe 2-3 full on whiffs, but definitely woulda put some balls into play, and at least a few that outfielders would have had to make plays on, so hey...not bad. Had some dranks at a buddy's house that night, shortly after the dashboard in the Pilot lit up like a Christmas tree and wouldn't start. Setting up for a nice Sunday.

Sunday: Pilot cranks up (so magical), take it to Autozone to get battery and alternator tested; have to turn ignition off to get reading, and whaddya know...won't start again. Put jumper cables on it, still no start. Can hear the starter solenoid clicking, so maybe the starter has gone bad. Guy puts new battery in, still won't start. So I get on USAA app and order a tow truck to take it down the road to Firestone. Tow truck on the way in 60-90 minutes, credit card charged for $138, decide to try the key again....naturally, it cranks right up. Cancel tow truck (still have to see if I'm being charged the $138), swing by a buddy's house who has the professional grade Bosch diagnostic kit. Can't locate anything in particular that's potentially draining the battery, and no starter codes being thrown, so...I don't know. Whatever. It's starting now, so maybe it magically fixed itself. Until it didn't.

Also bought a battery for the Acura that's been sitting idle for most of the year, figured it would be more than a dead battery keeping it from cranking, but dang thing fired right up.

Anyway, pretty lame weekend all around, I'ma go with 7/17 covids, don't care if I do it again.

Fri - Kinda just hung around, no karaoke

Sat - First round of golf in nearly six months in the a.m. Didn't score well but hit the ball better than expected. Didn't make a putt and got tired a.f. towards the end of the round. Turned a high70s/low 80s into an 86, but shoulder held together and felt good after so I'll take it as a win. Home for an hour but then back out to course to see middle one and her friends all come out for prom pictures. She is amazing and beautiful (no pigs) and as much as I enjoyed it, it was tough. Got home and wife and I went out to the Park Avenue Oyster Bar, killed a dozen oysters and the shrimp and grits. Place was on point. Went to the alley and there was unplanned karaoke so we were able to sing a few, which led to

Sun - sooooooo tired from prior day's activities, just laid around a good bit early. Cleaned up and headed to lil bro's house, he wanted me to check out his water heater. It was sitting in a small pool of water but thankfully is in the garage, so I told homeboy he needs to just get a new one (it looks to be the original from when the house was built). Came home and little one was bound and determined to get in the pool (which opened this weekend), so she did. That lasted about 15-20 minutes. Made a quick voila meal for supper cause tired a.f. Will do some real cooking this week.

Good morning everyone how was your weekend?
