Another rainy day...........

Today was another rainy day in Fairbanks. The locals are saying the weather has been a little "weird" this year, go figure that one. Anyway, most of them are saying it is usally a little warmer and not quite so rainy at this time. The rain usually comes later in the summer.

Kirkland finally got to go fishing today, in fact, we just got back from the Chena River. We only stayed about an hour and had no bites. Unless you count the ones he thought he had from the rocks. At least he got to go, something he has been looking forward to for a long time.

We had discipleship and practice earlier today after having Saturday/Sunday off. A'lot of the guys went rafting, biking, fishing, hiking and up to the Hot Springs. They took advantage of the time off.

Tomorrow(Tuesday) we get back to our routine. Discipleship at 1:30pm, pre-game at 4pm and first pitch at 7pm. We play the Miners for four days and look to get back on a winning track. Most of the teams have been beating up on each other so we are still right in the thick of things even though we struggled last week. Hopefully, we can get back on a winning streak soon.

Gas is still just $4.45 a gallon, that's good news.

Anyone just now checking out the blog can click on any of the links to the left of the screen and catch up on the previous posts. There were also about six done in May I think.

We will meet with the Miners on Wednesday and share with them after batting practice. It will be the first league team we will meet with since arriving in Fairbanks and I am interested to see how they respond. The routine will be the same. One of our guys will give their testimony and another will go over the brochures we hand out. This will give them a day or two for follow up if any of the players have some questions.

Well, that's it for tonight. I made a deal with myself to try and get asleep prior to 10:30pm tonight. Last night was tough. I hit an "energy wall" about midnight and finally crashed around 1:30pm. These sunny nights are rough.
