Monday, Apr. 14, 2003 - 9:11 p.m. Here are just a few ways�� Codeman�s baseball team lost tonight. No, they didn�t loose. They were thumped 16-5. Codeman didn�t play, but I am sure the coach can find a way to blame him for the loss. I, of course, sat through he entire debacle. Until the 4th inning, I did so by myself, sitting on the bleachers behind home plate. Every once and a while one of the dads would walk over to me and say something like �Why hasn�t the coach pulled the pitcher?� or �Why does he have so-and-so playing in the outfield? He couldn�t catch a cold!� I just nod and say, �Yes, I understand. But you see, I have watched this show before. And I don�t get excited any more�. Hard for me to get too upset about the team�s performance, if my boy doesn�t get a chance to improve the outcome, can I? All of the Cole crop bedding plants that I put in the gardens last Thursday, plus some the perennials that I planted yesterday were zapped by the high winds and unreal heat (85� on April 14th?) today. I have already lost some of the cabbage and broccoli (which I can still replace with some of my own surplus), and the others should bounce back. It�s not a good sign when it is already this damn hot 6 weeks from the start of our typical summer weather� While we were eating dinner tonight, I noticed that one of my banks of fluorescent lights on the side porch appeared to dim. Since I can�t actually see the lights form the other room, I didn�t find out what happened until after we cleaned our dinner mess. I went into the side porch to water the seedlings, and was smacked in the face by a smell best described as burnt petroleum/plastic/rubber/ass. One set of two bulbs was not working. I grabbed the fixture, and nearly added the smell of burnt flesh to the equation. The ballast had melted down, causing the outage and the stink. I can replace the light with another one from Meenards for about $10. But that isn�t my real concern: now I wonder if any of the other ballasts is about to go, and if the are now a fire hazard. I don�t need this problem, with only a couple of weeks left to this season�s nursery work�. Oh yeah, and my mom decided to call right after I finished removing the lamp. And she was in a mood to talk. It is now 9 pm, and I just got off of the phone with her. I need to post this, and then go to bed. Tomorrow isn�t Monday. It better not turn out like today, anyway���
