My son (fifth grade) had his basketball tournament this past weekend. A technical was called on his team so the biggest player on the other team went to the line. The gym fell oddly quiet for the shooter. His first shot was shot and hit the front of the rim. From across the gym, I hear the younger sister (maybe 5-ish) of my son's teammate in a sweet little girl voice "MISSED"! The mom was mortified as the whole gym heard it. I'm assistant coach and about fell off the bench laughing.

Thank you for not giving up on her! She'll adapt faster than you think she would. I joke with the wife that I can call our vet and any of my foursome can get a same day appointment. Call the family that I'm blowing from both ends and a fever.....they'll see me a week from this Friday.

WhaHoo!!!

Here's to hoping it's the International Scout SS II

This weekend is the seventh annual My Furry Valentine at the Convention Center. Numerous animal rescues and animal shelters come to one place to help find homes for dogs, cat rabbits and other assorted homeless animals. Each of the past two years, at the event and remote locations (shelters who participated from their base) have found homes for over 800 animals. As of the end of today, 493 animals have a new home tonight. Some of the rescues were cleared of the animals that they brought. I've been one of the volunteers since the first year and it's been great to see it outgrow it's first location. I took off Friday afternoon to help rescue/pet food pantry I work with set up their usual top notch booth. The wife is nervous until I walk in the door empty handed as I can easily come home with a fifth dog. One of the shelters we've adopted from DOES has Husky puppy that needs help with socialization.........

Does the driver need to be checked for a peanut allergy before being hired?

The past two years, the home town's youth basketball (and baseball) teams have been in a 'rec' league that they don't belong in. If we're playing teams where four graders are showing up with $400 Mizuno bats, it's NOT a recreational league. His basketball teams were getting blown out each week so I signed him up this year elsewhere and he's having fun again even though his team is just over .500 with only seven kids on the team. He is not the stud on the team and none of the kids on the team has a Dad that feels the need to live vicariously through his son on the team. I'm assistant coach and a couple of the other Dad's step in at practices as well.

My fifth grade field trip was to the GM plant in Norwood where these rolled off the line.....1977 actually, the return of the Z28.

Complete and unbuilt......box has seen better days

After two weeks at the Jeep dealer, they gave my boss back her SRT8 unable to find the cause. It's been traded in on a Mercedes SUV.

Cincinnati Bungals re-signed their head coach who is 0-7 in the playoffs......

The MPC pick up kits of the 70's......4x2, 4x4, standard bed, step side, etc With the Ford Econoline van reissue, I was hoping for the Off Road 4x4 version.

The hobby shop may have fallen victim to a Landlord that was able to get higher rents and a longer term lease from Verizon. I've been in several different areas of commercial real estate for 30 years and currently do the in house leasing for a small footprint retail store nationally and my company has fallen victim to such actions.

Would it be a Cherokee? My Director has an SRT8 that the dealer cannot resolve. It will start with a jump but the 1000 amp portable battery jumper wouldn't start it.

Especially this time of the year, the more we are around people, the more we love our animals. I've had to do it three times and it never got easier! It rips your heart out!! Now is not the time, but when don't let it stop you from adopting again. Clearly she was loved and too many dogs/cats never get that. Condolences from me and four rescue dogs Jeff

Expensive upkeep...hard to handle..... The Ferrari would be these things also

My former Director texted me a pic this morning of 'flurries' from Birmingham, AL. I asked her not to send it this way! I'm suppose to go to Columbus OH tomorrow for the funeral of a friend/former co-worker but may have to bail as the meteorologist around here told Noah it would just sprinkle with the sun coming out in the afternoon

I'd leave my wife and kids Christmas morning for Reba. Normally I prefer a deeper voice to sing "Mary Did You Know...." but she sang it tonight with Little Big Town on the ABC country music Christmas special. Great ending to the show

I've always noticed that people are quick to escalate things when they get poor service but never stop to say thank you. Back in the spring, I wasn't able to tip the lady at Ollie's who saw me eyeing up the models and she took me into the back and showed me what else came in. Yeah I left with another dozen I didn't need but I sent a long winded 'thank you' to corporate who did reach back to me.

The front right tire on the G8 has been low but the tire pressure varies widely due to temps and I have a bad sensor on one of the wheels so the monitoring system is in error mode. Took off this morning and it rides rides harsh on 45 series tires but it's not pulling. Turn at the stop sign and I hear crunching....pull over....NOW it's flat. Safeco's roadside was there in 20 minutes to inflate it and took it to Firestone. It leaked at the bead so they had to pull the tire reinstall it. I gave the young guy that blew up the tire $20 and I'm taking the Firestone crew donuts in the a.m. (they were booked but they are the only ones that touch my cars). Gotta take care of those who take care of me!

Free shipping (per the check out thru the end of the year) and discount code (01A15) gets $15 off $50 order I have a feeling will be bringing me the Revell Germany Mercedes AMG GT I wanted.....

Syclones is open but complete Tuff Truk is sealed inside

Picked this up at the Dayton show over the weekend. I'm thinking a SEMA style Baha vehicle
