Knocked off the top.

First, to get the indoor update out of the way, we lost a not so close one on Tuesday. Just not click’n at the moment.
But… outdoor - we were tied for first place with the team we played tonight. Head to head battle for the mid-season title. We played well, especially for playing another short [...]

Trouble in Paradise

I had planned on going up to Grandma’s this last weekend to throw up some skylights to replace the old cracked and discolored ones above the hot tube. Those went in easy, ‘like a lid on a shoe box.’

But there was an issue involving a water leak in the outside water lines. We [...]

Speed Kills

Tuesdays indoor we played a young team. I think they were in high school. This means that they were in excellent shape. They didn’t have any overall speed over us, but they sure husseled to the ball… EVERYTIME. We won 4-2, but they sure made us work hard.
Thursday outdoor… blazing speed by several of their [...]

Double Ride

Sunday me and Annajo met up with one of her friends at Marymoor Park. She is new to riding actual bikes, but has been doing ‘Spin Class’ for some time I guess. She had the clipless pedals and all the gear. But… more than a little affraid of actually riding - she had fallen down [...]

Just Add Water - Outdoor

It looked like the last night’s game was going to be played in the rain. But the rain stopped, just leaving a wet field. Because of this, I wore my old cleats instead of the indoor cleats I bought before the last game. With my limited footwork, having kicks that I’m comfortable with, really made [...]

Fell Apart - Indoor

Kelman joined us up in Arlington for some indoor soccer action. We played a team that we normaly beat more than we lose to. We were tied 1-1 after the first half; but it was obvious that we were not clicking.
Second half, we had 5 un-answered goals shell off against us real quick. Bummer. Hard [...]

Robbed after Easter Weekend

This post was supposed to be filled with pictures of my trip to Clarkston with Annajo. Pictures of Easter shenanigans, the town from several angles and locations, Justin’s store (old and new), and the insane wind and tumble-weed storm on the trip back. But that fun has been spoiled, as I discovered this morning that [...]

Outdoor - Game One

Last night was our first game of outdoor soccer. Yesterday was also the first nice day of spring we’ve had this year. Our game didn’t start until 9:00 pm, but a nice cloud cover rolled over and it stayed rather warm.
Goode came down and guest starred for us in goal. This was good for several [...]

Lynnhood around Everett Road Ride

First real road ride for the year. LB, Annajo, and Pat J. (Joe’s Dad) was along for the ride. Got off to a bit longer start than anticipated. Pat had just bought a new bike and we had some tinkering to do there. We had to outfit the rest of the bikes with lights as [...]

Go Tips Go

Last Friday I attended the Silvertips playoff game with Annajo and her fam. It was game five out of a best of 7 series with Spokane. The series was tied 2-2 with each team winning the games at home. The games were normally close in score, but this night, the Tips opened up a can [...]
