LAST DAY OF MAY

I don't know about you but I can't believe that today is the last day of May, it just doesn't seems like it to me. Before long all the schools will be out here in CH and there will be a few happy bloggers around here. I talked to Scott last night and he has got is truck back but he still isn't satisfied with what they did, they did fix the problem he had this weekend but know his truck is pulling to the right and they are blaming his new rims for that. Needless to say he isn't very happy about it. Scott is also not very happy with Ford dealership in Dublin, Ga who couldn't rent him a vehicle after his truck broke down but he was very happy with the Toyota dealership in Dublin who rented him a Toyota Tundra in Dublin. After supper last night we rode by fellow bloggers Mark and Marys new house and it looks like it is just about done, maybe Mark can give us an update when it's going to be finished. In the Stanley Cup Finals last night Anaheim beat Ottawa 1-0 and now lead the series 2-0. Since there is not much going on today I thought I would post another old photo from the past of few fellow blogger posing for picture on the front porch of the Barnes cottage in Nags Head, I think you can tell who everybody is in the photo. It looks like I might jump of the front porch, I just hope nobody has to use that life preserver hanging on the front porch. MICKEY

Just when they think they got answers, I change the questions.

A TOUGH NIGHT FOR THE COLONIALS & KNIGHTS

The Colonial Heights girls and boys soccer teams both lost last night in Central Region playoffs. The girls team lost to James River 2-1 and the boys team fell to Hanover 2-0, I have posted a link below to some photos Al took at the girls game last night. In baseball action the Thomas Dale Knights fell to James River 9-4, the Rapids hit 3 HR'S in the game and the Knights just weren't able to overcome that. The other team from the CD in the baseball playoffs Dinwiddie also lost last night to Cosby 12-3. Overall the only teams to win from the CD in softball, baseball, and girls & boys soccer was the Thomas Dale boys and girls soccer teams, it was just a tough night for the CD. The Stanley Cup Finals resume tonight with game 2 of the series with Anaheim holding a 1-0 series lead. My AIP index is a bit higher today because my back is a little sore. Well I am off to work.

If you look close you can see our beach raccoon coming by for Memorial Day. It walked right by the beach cat to eat the cat's food. I guess they are friends.

This is a different picture from the beach. This is what I can see outside my beach house . If you look close you can see the monument between the wings of the Wright brothers plane. I will have to get Al to take a better picture.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAYOFFS RESUME TODAY

The Colonial Heights girls and boys soccer teams will be back in action today, the CH girls team will visit James River at 5:30pm to play the Rapids while the CH boys team will travel to Hanover to play the Hawks at 7pm. In baseball action today the Thomas Dale Knights will be playing at James River at 4:30pm, James River doesn't have lights thats why they are playing early. The other baseball team from the Central District Dinwiddie will be hosting Cosby tonight at 7pm. I am going to try to make it over to James River see TD play baseball and catch some the CH girls soccer game as well, it just depends on what time I get off work. The Stanley Cup Finals started last night with Anaheim picking up a 3-2 victory over Ottawa, the Ducks lead the series 1-0. We did get some much needed rain here in CH last night, all though it wasn't that much it was better than nothing, Georgia sure could use allot of rain. This past holiday weekend was good for the most part, except for getting a flat tire yesterday the weather was nice and it really wasn't to crowded at the beach. Also fellow bloggers Keith and Scott are back from there weekend trips, maybe they can give us a trip report form the Georgia coast and New York. I am off to work. MICKEY

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

I hope everybody has a safe and good Memorial Day. My day didn't get off to the best of starts this morning. I left the beach around 6am so I could get home early and cut the grass and do some other things or at least thats what I thought I was going to do. I did leave at 6am but on the way home in Moyock, NC I got a flat tire and I had to call AAA to come an fix it which set my day back about 2 1/2 hours. Needless to say I wasn't a very happy camper when that happened. Well I have made it home now and I getting ready to go out and cut the grass. Casey Mears won last nights Nextel Cup race which was his 1st Nextel Cup win in his career, I was glad to see him win but I was kind of hoping that Kyle Petty might have pulled off the victory but 3rd isn't to bad for Kyle. The Virginia Cavalier baseball team will host a NCAA regional next weekend, the Cavs will face Lafayette in the 1st round.

1,100-lb. Feral Hog Shot in Fayette Co.

When a 9-foot-long, 1,100-lb. hog was killed in Fayette County it became a story that spread like wildfire — literally going around the world on the internet and in the media. CNN, Fox-5 News, the local papers, radio stations from Seattle and Los Angeles to Jacksonville, and the Discovery Channel contqacted Bill, and even the British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) called from London to get the details on a hog being touted as a new world record.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have a great hunting story,” said Bill Coursey of Fayetteville, who shot the hog in a neighbor’s yard.

Thursday afternoon, January 4, at about 3:30 Bill’s wife and son were driving home in rural Fayette County when they saw the huge black hog standing in a neighbor’s yard. The hog had come out of a field, crossed the road and was munching on water-oak acorns. They pulled into the driveway for a closer look.
