She has a computer but is not hooked up to the net, IRBS. Actually, her hubbie is a computer techie - he takes good care of my devices.

I didn't get a TV until about six years ago. Didn't miss it then and sometimes wonder - except of course for sports - why I have one now.
And we are off to the 10th.
No problem with the pitching staff today considering the batters they have faced. Marcus came through big time for the Jays. Now if we can just get one more home. Let's go Blue Jays!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pardon my language.................but that just sucked. My eyeballs are about ready to fall out of my head and all for that? Geez
Yep. This team reminds me of teams in the late 1980s who were 'happy to get there' and not want to go the little extra to get the job done. Poor managing, poor pitching, poor defense, sucky offense. Hope they enjoyed there division party. They don't get another party for being losers.
Hope they turn it around but I fully expect them to be gone in 3.
And to top it all off, Brett Cecil is done for the year with torn left calf muscle.
that game was way too long for me, glad I didn't actually sit and watch at any time.
cleaned dog yard, played with dogs, cleaned kitchen, vacuumed upstairs, had coffee and toast,
had a shower, did laundry and put it all away, and the game was still on.
I just listened while I worked, that works for me, stopped and had a look now and then.
nope they have dug themselves a big hole, have to win 3 in a row, not likely.

I must admit, in spite of the game, I had a very productive day too, talloola. Re-covered all my kitchen chair seats. Cleaned, vacuumed and dusted the living room, dining and kitchen. Got the dishes done and put away.............and I played with Rowan too. Then I decided, after the ball game, to splurge on some take-out food for dinner. Mind you, the take-out we get here is more akin to going to a neighbors for dinner. Two big juicy slices of home-cooked ham, a hefty portion of scalloped potatoes, a nice side of green beans and a lovely slice of pumpkin pie complete with whipped cream - all for the grand price of $12.95. Got home just in time to watch the Riders lose another game............such is life.
we both had very productive days, can't say as much for the jays and riders, oh well, try another day.
Oh that is bad news about Brett, darn it. I am really really disappointed in them. They had the lead and just let it slip away. I think they focused on the big play instead of just getting players on base - something that the Rangers did very well. Near the end it was all about the home-run and forget the single or double - at least that's the way it looked to me. I'm glad there is a day before the next game - I need a break. :-(
Is there a "take out" establishment at Eagle Creek? No, you have to run into Forest Grove for that, right?
My friend Grace owns Canim Lake store and sells home-cooked meals on Friday and Saturday nights, JLM. Forest Grove does not do home-cooked meals as they don't have the required license - Grace does. The store is a 10 - 15 minute drive from my place - depending on how hungry I am. :lol:
do you go to the deka lake area? we stayed there for many years to fish and enjoy. last time we
drove in there, (about fifteen years ago), it was so different, not like the small serene fishing area, with small log cabins, and
beautiful peace and quiet.that was back in the late 50s and 60s.
a fellow named 'Charlie womack' and his wife owned and ran it, they lived in California in the off season, guess he is long gone now,
big, loud, happy guy, we became good friends with he and his wife.
My memory is pretty hazy, but I don't recall a Canim Lake Store when I worked there in '68. I think at that time Forest Grove was the last metropolis before Hendrix Lake which was booming at the time due to the Molybdemon Mine. There was the "Cabbage Patch" at the head of the lake.
yep, not over till its over, but being realistic, they are toast, lol. matters to them, but not to me,
they have given me great enjoyment over the past while, won't forget that, and I will look forward to
next year, wonder if price will stay, I think not.
I think the issue will be he will want 8-10 years guaranteed and with a no trade clause. If he won't bend on the length of time, the Jays may not bite. If its just money, I think he will stay.
From what I am reading, it looks like they are panicking. Hearing lots of rumours of starting Price on 3 days rest in game 4. If they actually do that, then they are panicking.
A 3 game winning streak is not too much to overcome with a bit of luck and playing like they can. But no defensive errors, no everybody try to hit a HR and don't pitch scared. And don't do something you otherwise wouldn't have done like start Price on short rest. It is possible, but remains to be seen if this crew has that in them. I will say that if they do win this series, I have every faith they will win the World Series.
I've been to the Deka Lake area a few times, talloola - mainly when I was still prospecting. Deka Lake has quite an active community association and they host fairs and rodeos during the summer. I do recall hearing or reading about Charlie Womack but it was a long time ago now and I can't remember the context.
I'm not sure when the store was built, JLM but it was a long time before I arrived here and I've now been resident for just over 31 years. It is on the south side of Canim Lake accessed by a road just beyond the reserve that takes one all the way to Mahood Lake and beyond to Clearwater. I live on the North side of Canim Lake just off the 6000 Road which is the road that used to access the Boss Mt Mine - the moly mine you mentioned. Forest Grove has grown a lot over the years - much different than the tiny community it was when I first got here. The store was rebuilt after the old building burned down about 20 or so years ago and no way resembles what it used to look like.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jays win one or two..........all three, I don't know. Of course they could very well lose this one today and then it would be all over until next year. I'm still hoping and dreaming for the team and their true blue fans.
well, seems texas has risen to the occasion, and if they continue to do so, that is the key, a team in
playoffs can't sieze up, or over play, or not pitch as well, or not hit as well, that is the point of
playoffs, to see who can keep their momentum and push on thru, if they both do, great games, if they
both don't, crummy games, then the one who loses the least, wins the series, but will lose the next.
this is it, the jays have to rise up today and not look back, a huge task, otherwise bye bye Charlie.
O.K. - Not sure there was a road on the south side of the lake when I worked there. Our job was to do the surveying for road realignment from Forest Grove to Eagle Creek. The main thing I remember about Forest Grove was drinking beer in the Legion there on Saturday nights. We were living in 100 Mile at the time and there was some sort of Legion at 99 Mile, but we thought the one in Forest Grove was better. In later years we did drink at the one in 99, during hunting trips to Lone Butte.
wouldn't that be popular, lol., nobody will care what they do,if they lose, they will have to care for
all the people jumping to their deaths off of the bandwagon.
stopped at lone butte on one of our trips to deka lake, wayback, early 60s, went in the store, and an
old friend of mine was working there, fancy who one will meet where, was so surprised, just a whistle
stop of a place back then.
