More LCA

I told Pat I would be posting these a while back but the affairs of state must take precedent over the affairs of state. I can't top a trip to Toledo, but I can try.

A soon to be favorite stop inside said arena

Wings and Pistons offices....and a guy working

A concourse set to be filled with monitors......

The Magpie Salute at St Andrews Hall

Powering up the Mothership

No, I didn't go to Toledo, but did have a Tito's & McClure's Bloody Mary that morning.

Maybe the coolest kayak......ever

My God.....if I could have that at home....or if they could show porn on this!

The blue eyes scare me. 

Jerseys and banners are up....

The court is down.....as am I. 

Nuff said.

If they would have put the Corvette on its other side it would have looked like Gordie was shooting it. 

Soon to be filled with TVs and overpriced liquor!

Field Trip to Toledo!

We had a great time in the Glass City as the Toledo Mud Hens took on the Buffalo Bisons Saturday night.  Current Toronto Thunder pitcher Joe Biagini started for the Bisons, but was hammered for a few runs early and pulled after four innings.  The entertaining game ultimately went into extra innings, until Mount Pleasant Trainwreck pitcher Kyle Ryan gave up a few runs to give the win to the squad from Buffalo.  Lots of pre-game fun bar-hopping and checking out the rapidly developing Toledo downtown.  Thanks to all that could go, and looking forward to another trip next year!!!

Lego Night at the ballpark!  Based on the driver,

I am assuming that is an autonomous Lego Semi!

A new member of our crew!

Toledo's downtown area actually allows and encourages

outdoor drinking as you go from bar to bar!  

The craft beer menu at Fleetwood's, stop #2 after the Black Cloister

A full house at Fifth Third field

A few Friendship League games were played during the contest!

New top Tiger prospect Jeimer Candelario cracks a long fly

Enjoying the post-game fireworks

Some enjoyed the post-game fireworks more than others  :-)

LIVE entertainment after the game in Hensville, the bar district right

outside the stadium.  The Hepcat Revival put on  a good show

I feel like I'm the only owner to not have a half or three-quarters nude photo on the league page.
Problem solved.

Fest - Date TBD

First I wish to present you with the distance I live from former MI Mammoths Owner/GM/Mgr Bob Willnus....

Next I will add the story of my new hot tub installation....
First off, I am not a hot tub person.  The Farmington Hills house I bought back in 2013 came with a tub in disrepair. The tub was embedded in the deck.  Only choice was to either keep/repair the hot tub or extend the deck.  Based on being house poor, went with the keep option.  I must admit, I had some good times in that old tub...

.....but the ol' girl was on its last legs.  Making it a makeshift summer pool while it leaked the weekend away was not good enough. It was time for a new tub.  Today, I had the new tub installed...

Now is where the story takes a turn and intersects with Bob Willnus.  My man who is contracted to do the electrical work tells me they are wrapping up.  I had offered the crew (two of them) water earlier and he gave me the death stare.  At this point I ask if they'd like a beer.  One guy (not the head contractor) says he'll take a beer.  I offer him a Miller Lite, he asks if I have anything better.  I offer Two Hearted....he accepts.  Lead contractor says he doesn't drink beer....asks if I have some hard stuff.  I don't have much, but tell him I have Meyers Rum, Captain Morgan's......and oh yeah, moonshine.  He goes for the moonshine.  Job near "wrapping up" ends up taking another two hours and about 10 shots of moonshine (only two Two Hearted for the other guy).  Upon completion, my man tells me he can barely walk and shouldn't be driving back to Milford (but he does).  Nevertheless, hot tub completed and I feel we need to have a future........BobFest.  Seems appropriate.  Hopefully I can pull this off in the fall. I'll keep y'all posted.
