My oldest son and his wife is flying into Cleveland (from CA) in the morning. We were supposed to pick him up from his inlaws tomorrow night. Changed it to picking him up in the morning. About a 110 mile round trip about the time the snow should be starting. Hopefully it doesn't start as freezing rain.
I am already at work. That in itself is dump worthy. Been prepping equipment and staging it most of the afternoon and up until the last 20-30min. Hard saying how many miles I will get to drive in the snow tomorrow but I am not complaining about the driving part. My only concern will be to keep the guys rotated and safe and beat this storm. The only thing I do NOT look forward to are the hours to come. Once I am up and rolling, I expect a 30-36hr shift.

My day is gonna suck as well (If we get what they're saying). I have a job to do in Circleville, then see how close I can get to Cleveland for a job in the AM on Thurs. Driving a crane in that shit is not a lot of fun.
20 mph winds, 7 inches of snow expected and a solid layer of ice in all roads. Gonna be a great day to deliver..

Baseball and softball: Dang are they expensive. Finally broke down and bought a decent rubber tee for the kids to practice ($29.99). Both of them had outgrown their cleates ($17.99 and $29.99). Graci's softball coach said these 11yr old girls are going to be practicing sliding. Suggested buying some sliding shorts ($17.99). They have both been practicing their batting a ton and since they have both shown great improvement, we splurged on some batting gloves for each ($12.99/$19.99). Garrett had outgrown his pants also ($7.99). Since they are hitting off the tee for practice now we figured the two baseballs Garrett had was probably on the low side, so add in a couple more baseballs ($7). While we thought we were doing pretty good and buying stuff on sale, it still added up plenty. Thankfully they were okay in the bat and glove department. Crazy how you can buy stuff "on sale" and end up dropping $150. Ouch. The only thing which made me feel better was looking at the prices of some of the bats. Looks like some people spend twice as much as we spent tonight just to buy one bat. Dang.
On the flipside: The kids are active. They are not running the streets. They have an interest in extracurricular activities. They are not vegging out on the couch becoming sloths. It could always be worse. Just wasn't expecting the total we had at the register. lmao

Not too bad Phil.
I just supplemented my Team's supply with a $ 90.00 out of pocket expense.
At least now we are adequately equipped beyond what the league issued gear was.

Oh, and I bought a poor 4 year old girl a glove because she didn't have one. How's that for being charitable? Probably saved Momma a few bucks for some smokes.

Not freakin' cool. My wife has to work two days and has training 2 days this week. Looks like I will be missing the first 4 mornings of turkey season. I am pissed.
Phil,
You could be in my spot. Our youngest daughter plays on 3 teams during the summers. She is currently playing high school softball but after that's over she will move right into the summer league and a traveling league. Girl plays as much as she can and we usually end up buying new at the beginning of the season, replacement pieces during the season and then can't forget pictures and buttons for ol mom to show off her baby lol. Shit is expensive that's for sure lol. Talked her out of the bat she wanted that was a cool $300 lol. Told her the bat from last year was working just fine lol.

No doubt buddy. Just talked to guys who were in Detroit over the weekend with dance. My sister travels all over the state with her kids in sports. Start adding in fuel costs and hotels and the shoes and batting gloves look cheap. lol
