The cast of Star Wars without costumes. Harrison Ford (Han Solo), David Prowse (Darth Vader), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Kenny Baker (R2-D2) and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), 1977. 7'3" British actor Mayhew lived his final 16 years north of DFW, Texas.
Damn, that crew was almost as motley, unique and unusual as the patrons in the Cantina in the first Star Wars in 1977...Carrie Fisher was sneaky hot though, or maybe just straight out hot.The cast of Star Wars without costumes.

Well, time to find a sucker fish or mermaid.
Rough night last night with softball. Lost first game in which I was the EH (extra hitter) by 1 run. I went 2-3 at the plate. The second game we won by 1 and I went 4-4 but was knocked out of the game in extra innings as I was hit for the third time by another line drive at me (pitcher is 45ft from the plate) and could not continue. This team was an up the middle hitting team and is why I was pitching that game. There were several hit up the middle and I got all but one of them out. The one I did not get out hit my glove/wrist, bounced up in the air right at the second baseman but he saw me get hit and immediately ran to me to make sure I was ok not looking at the ball which went up in the air and could have been caught. I got hit a couple of times last night. Pictured below are the results of last night's ones that hit me. Left hand, right leg calf, and left leg upper shin.

Whoa, that's some tough stuff. Kudo's for doing what you do!
Most of it is fun until the morning after nights like last night. My guys were pissed that the other team kept hitting up the middle so much and started mouthing them at the end of the game almost to a physical altercation. I told them I was ok and that I am part of the field and was not angry. (It is part of the game)
Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and clear. Today's high expected around 102°F.
Took pup in for IVs yesterday. Carrying her back for more IVs this morning before heading into the office. Pick her up after work. Think she'll be okay so I can travel back to KY on 07/02.
Keeping it short. Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning,
I ate some serious pizza in Detroit growing up. Pizza is my favorite fruit!
Good morning folks. Feels like afternoon-I slept an hour later than normal this morning after flailing around with hip pain last night that kept me awake.
Rainy and muggy in the east. Not too hot though. One more day in DC then I can work from home Friday.
Hope it’s a good day for all.

Sunny and 78.8°F going to 89° which is better than yesterday. Zero chance of rain today and we really could use some. My grass is starting to hurt.
Fox and Friends has a UK lady swimmer, Riley Gaines, on this morning discussing the Lia Thomas scandal. She tied for fifth place with Thomas in the NCAA. She was a very good interview and several are in Washington to discuss title 9 affairs and trans athletes. https://www.iwf.org/save-womens-sports-riley-gaines/

That was a good interview. Well done Riley. Kentucky women athletes (all biology not mental confusion) are representing us well recently - I know this Abby Steiner remarkable performance in the 400 meter relays was posted on the main board but in case you missed it or want to see it again - amazing.

Watch Abby Steiner help capture the women's 4x400 title for Kentucky
After trailing on the second leg, Kentucky's Abby Steiner blows past the competition and propels the Wildcats to a national championship in the 4x400 relay. Kentucky ran 3:22.55. Watch the full relay here.

"Unlike many of the female swimmers in the SEC and Ivy League, Gaines has the full support of her school to speak out. " Good job, Mitch.

90% of my softball hits were line drive singles right up the middle. Once, CF tried cheating in on me for that fact & I happened to line it over his head for about my only HR.
Is it true that early US spacecraft booster engines were limited in diameter by needing to be shipped by train flatbeds & thru tunnels from manufacture location (NOLA area? Huntsville?) to Cape Canaveral?
I was part of that. The Shuttle main fuel tank had to be sent via barge. CSX delivered the solid fuel rockets (the ones on the side). Guess from where? Huntsville!
And guess which is the safest way to transport dangerous stuff. RAILROAD. We are good.
You won the prize vhcat.
Fixing the tire is the best.
Those last two engines are one number apart.

NBA draft has started. In two of the first three clips Keion Brooks got abused - by Paolo Banchero, #1 with a jumper over him and jabari Smith blocking a shot back in his face. The ghost of Adolph Rupp getting revenge for Keion calling for a renaming of Rupp Arena?
Good take. I usually didn't play coed softball, but one day near the end of my playing days, I did. I was rounding third as hard as I could go. If the catcher blocked the plate, I was going to run over him. I looked up at the last second and there was a 110 pound woman standing on the plate and not paying any attention to what was going on. I pulled up at the last second and pulled a groin muscle. The darn thing still bothers me from time to time.
That kid had no reason whatsoever making such a call. None. Zero. A few things in life are totally off-limits. Renaming Rupp Arena is one.
I played first base in a softball league, and saw first hand what pitchers went through. I applaud the job you all do on the field.Rough night last night with softball.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. Today's high expected at around 103°F. We tied a record high yesterday at 104°F. 18 triple-digit days so far this year. Good possibility for rain next week.
Received bad news last night. Don suffered another stroke. Please send thoughts and prayers his way.
Must take our dog in at 7 am for more IVs. There's a good chance pancreatitis returned. Playing it day-to-day again.
Happy Friday!

Most don't want to pitch in slow pitch because batters can control where they hit the ball generally. My wife said that I am just a masochist and love getting beat up. I told her no, I don't get hit too much during the year. I usually catch them. I was a little slower this week as I did not pick the ball off the bat as well as I should have. It has been that way for a couple of years since they have gone to the yellow balls. That and I am older than before which is why I wear a mask now when I pitch. Most do these days with the bat technology being more advanced.
Hand is feeling better this morning. Could not close it all of the way until this morning. Still stiff but less pain. Legs are ok as well. Need to cut grass this morning so they will get a little workout.
Prayers for Don and his family.
