Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and...Dodge

Today is going to draaaaaag out.  I can feel it already.  It's not even 9:00 in the morning and the last hour has gone by sooo slowly that I can tell now I'm going to go out of my mind.  Why you ask?  My company is taking us to a baseball game tonight as a morale booster.  I think it's a great idea, we'll see the Durham Bulls (not that I care about them) and enjoy baseball as it was meant to be.  People playing the game because they love to play the game...I used to be a huge baseball fan, but lost all love for the game when they went on strike not once, but twice.  I'm not sure what the company is paying for, I know the tickets for sure, but last time we went out they bought the food and beer for the whole night (and it was a lot of food and beer!)

I ordered the new body for my RC truck.  My last body is so mangled that it's barely recognizable.  I literally beat the crap out of it, and that's why I bought it, to have fun!  I'm going to do it in a PSU motif.  I'll mask a lion head on the hood and do a nice little flame job everywhere else.  The colors I got was a high gloss metallic blue and silver, should come out really nice!  I'll be doing it on the inside of the body so when I roll it I should be ok. 

We went to our lot last night to show it to Jen and to our surprise they added a bunch of dirt to it!  That pretty much eliminated the slope and now it's only got a slight grade.  We measured everything again because I forgot all the numbers from last time.  The yard itself measures 140'Lx70'W, there's roughly 60' of releif  from the road behind us and about 20' on the side before the street.  After we left the house we went to Adventure Landing to play mini-golf and I whooped the girls!  We played a few arcade games then went out for drinks afterward.  It was a good time, but I'll never go back to that bar again!
