Sunday March 4, 2012 Day 266

There seems to be a mysterious draining of battery power on the two house batteries. With only the propane valve and a few electronic monitors drawing about 1.2 amps, the batteries will drain in several hours which means it is time to call Pleasureway and see if they have an insight to the cause.

Some Padres fans tailgating before the game

Meanwhile the weather was very pleasant at around 80 degrees. Harris spent some time talking to tailgaters and volunteers before the game. The cob salad was especially tasty for lunch since he’d been several days without greens and the O'Doul’s was especially refreshing in the 7th inning. The Mariners were ahead through 8.5 innings and then let the Padres tie the score in the top of the 9th with several errors. About half of the crowd remained to see the M’s come back with back to back hits to take the game back with a walk off single. Perhaps this is a sign of the coming year (one can only hope).


20+ years of volunteering at the ball park

Tonight is going to be spent at the new nicely designed Peoria Municipal Complex which is across from the police station which should make Judy happy. Tomorrow Harris and Rick’s reservation opens up in a nearby RV park so Harris will make the move to his new baseball home base.


Pretty hard to miss this ball
