Ivory Liquid Helps Your Hands Look Young Again

Actually, I have no idea why I have referred to Ivory Liquid. Perhaps it's just another case of the Jimisms?
But what I do know is that my water timer in the backyard just came on.
Aren't you glad to know that?
Speaking of timer, have you noticed how it rymes with Heimer? As in Binkloheimer? As in Haley?
And did you know that in 8 days she will be graduated from high school? Oh my God!
Now this is what I call a random blogage. Actually blogage is a French word. It's meaning is yet to be determined.

Oh, that's why you are called Hopper


After a few hundred softball games, from the Jumping Jelly Beans (7 years old) to the Liberty Falcons, Haley has ended her softball career with high honors.

Haley has made third team all-conference.

She led the team with 93 put outs, 8 doubles and her on-base-average was .413. All in just 17 games, missing the last three due to a broken hand. Not bad hopper!

I already miss seeing you play.

It's not CEMENT

After nearly 20 years of watching (inspecting) concrete being placed, I was talked into helping create a new patio for the stink'n Chilcotts. I was very pleased with the results. In fact, I am considering quiting my current job and becoming a concrete contractor. But since I can barely move now, due to the amazing man-work I will for-go the career change for now. Thank yoi Ibuprofen.
Josh's idea to have an exposed aggregate finish challenged us all. But the challenge was met. And it is awesome. It kind of looks like Rice Krispy Treats, without the shine.
And Jon, not only is a good concrete worker, but he is a great ditch-diggin'-trench-makin' sumbitch. He likes playing in the mud.
My goal for the day was to see just when Sarah began to call the patio a "concrete" patio as opposed to "cement", like in the Beverly Hillbillies when they refered to their backyard pool as a "cee-ment-pond". By the end of the gig, I think she actually mentioned "concrete". Way to go Knoskers of Zib.

I...Am...Snoticus!

Is there a better way to begin a blog but to do it while looking through snot-filled eyes?
I think not.
Allegra is good. Of course by the time June rolls around I will be imuned to its goodness. And the stink'n snow (pollen et. al.) will be in blizzard form.
Is Blog a verb? To Blog. Or is it a Noun? "He was a Blogger".
What?
I don't know.
Glrious day!
