21st Perfect game in baseball history...and I saw it.
Just a short post today.....the blog site has changed their format.....and it may be near as bad as the decision by Face Book to install the "Time Line" on every ones profile with out consent. Going to test the waters a little as it seems a bit weird to me ( the new format ). Today I was a WITNESS. Not to a crime or placed in the Witness Protection Program...or Jehovah Witness for that matter. On the 21st of April, I was witness to the 21st Perfect game of Baseball ever pitched by a major leaguer. Unfortunately, the Seattle Mariner's lost the game and the Chicago White Sox recorded their 18th of the 21 Perfect Games won.
Here are a few pictures that I took during the game.
The picture above was of a color guard presenting the flag during the National Anthem.
This picture was taken by me of my cousin Julie and I sharing a lighter moment....
Cotton Candy anybody? Ha ha. We couldn't help but buy a couple different flavors of cotton candy.
Unfortunately....this was one of many "swings and a miss" from the Seattle Mariners.
Play ball. Was an awesome experience to be with my family and sharing a historic event. The 21st Perfect game on the 21st of April 2012.
Here are a few pictures that I took during the game.

Weekend fun....Mariner Style
Hello everyone,
Have a great weekend coming up. My Aunt Doris, a long time U.S.O. volunteer, scored some Seattle Mariner's tickets on Saturday. The game against the Chicago White Sox is appropriately a Military Appreciation Day. I will be attending the game with my brother Jason, cousin Julie and aunt Doris. Will be so very good to see them again. Here are some photos that are Mariner related. Looking forward to seeing a Mariner win!!

Although I haven't been to very many Baseball games...it is truly an American past time! I hope every one's weekend is sunny and you are able to do what ever you have planned.

I'm going through changes.....
Hello everyone,
It was great fun being on paid leave for 2 months, and finding a good job in the meantime but it was back to reality last week, with my return to my Army National Guard unit at Ft Lewis on the weekend.
This picture was about a week ago and this was the most facial hair I have had in almost 19 years....ha ha. Note the grey beard....grey equals wisdom..right?
This is after a slight trim...in preparation for a shave and getting ready to return to my unit.
Shaved out the beard and left the handle bars for effect. Still Friday before Weekend drill. Got to enjoy this for at least a few hours.
And here we are....beard gone and mustache within military regulation...ready for the weekend. I would keep the beard...with the grey hair if I were elected president. It has been a while since we had a president with a beard. Have a great week everyone.
Here is a parting song for you all....
We all go through changes. Some good, some bad, some remarkable and some seemingly insignificant. Take care everyone and see you this weekend.

Long time, no see....this job is "busier" than when I started the blog....
Hello everyone,
When I started the blog last September, I was deployed and worked in an office. Of my eight or twelve hour shift, I was usually only "busy" for 3-4 hours, which left me many hours to work on the blog. My usual train of thought was to figure my next topic after I posted one...that way I could have a good start on the blog each day.
With my new job, at Olympic Panel Products in Shelton, I am very busy from around 2pm until we leave at 11:15pm. Not easy to think of relevant topics while producing plywood. Our plywood has no less than 50 people directly involved in making each and every panel, although on my team there are 5 of us. After each shift, I drive home and will usually be sleeping by 1:30am. Our mornings are reserved for shopping for groceries or needed car parts.
The only time I have to really think about the blog and which direction to write is on the weekends.....unless I am going to be busy at Ft. Lewis. My leave is nearly over and this Saturday will be my first trip up to Ft. Lewis since we returned in February. I will try to post at least every weekend, even though some of the posts may be later in the day.
Have a great day and I will catch up again ( sooner ).
