August 26-29

Made the usual Monday errand run in the vicinity of the mall, the rest of the day was spent at home recharging the batteries. On Tuesday Jenny and Helen were at the foot doctor in Willow Street, we got our lunch to go and ate at their place. In the evening we were at the rink for summer hockey night #8, Gold met Orange and Blue met Green for the last of three times. Wednesday was a rainy day, I was at lawyer in the morning to sign some papers before lunch. In the afternoon a quick-moving system brought a decent amount of precipitation but it was moving west to east, according to radar the worst would be gone by 5:30 or so. The ballclub in York was at home, I left at 4:45 and drove through the rain just about all the way to the river. I got to the ballpark after 5:30, the tarp was off the field and it looked to be in good shape. The game started in good order at 6:35, the Sugar Land Skeeter (fresh from their visit in Lancaster) were the opponent for a good old-fashioned slugfest. The Revolution blew out to an 8-0 lead after five innings, the Skeeters rallied back to within two runs in the seventh but the Revs held on for a 9-7 win. I may make one more game in York before the regular season ends if all goes according to plan. Thursday marked the end of summer hockey at Reservoir Park, Orange vs Blue and Green vs Gold brought down the curtain. Forty-four players participated in the eighteen-game schedule. The meeting for the fall season is on Tuesday the 3rd. Take care, thanks for reading.
