Spring Training 2014 part 2


Saturday March 1st - Thursday Mardh 6th - (Days 359-364)


Well, life has been rough for Harris these last few days. He gets up in the morning after the temperature reaches 60+ which is usually right around 7AM. He's mentioned that he's grateful to Judy for insisting that he brings the down comforter since he's been using it in the wee hours of the morning (4-7). He's missed the heat generating source that stayed in Lake Stevens!

And then he's off to geocache near the stadium that he's visiting for the day. He'll include a stop at a Winco or Fry's supermarket to see if something inspires him for a meal and then it's find a place to park Howie and head to the game. Afterwards, head back to the RV park, make dinner, watch a sunset, and then read or watch something before calling Judy and going to sleep. Rinse and repeat.

His Spring Training partner is in Great Falls, MT watching the Belgrade Boys team this weekend before he heads down from the cold. Harris is hoping for some wins for them.

What follows are a few pics of the past 6 days.



 The predicted storm approaches and ends the Mariners game after 7 innings. Most people left early. Harris stayed and was drenched by the time he made it to Howie.



 The eye of the storm on Saturday afternoon before the floodgates opened and doubled the rainfall that night.



 A new favorite. Harris would buy a crispy chicken tender at Winco, slice it up, and put it on top of a salad for a wonderful dinner.



 Three days after the rain the ditches are still carrying off water. This was west of Sun City where Harris did some geocaching.



 One of the many wonderful sunsets this past week. The rain set a record for Phoenix, but was gone 30 hours later. Nice!



There was a caravan of old time cars going somewhere today that Harris came up on. This was on the way to Camelback Ranch Stadium where the Dodgers and the White Sox play.



Howie was told to park with the "Big Boys" at Camelback Ranch stadium. Harris was ticked that the LA Dodgers and White Sox reward the "Designated Drivers" at Camelback Stadium with a key ring while all the other teams reward them with a soft drink or ODul's beer. Wow. Nice stadium, but really cheap!



 Tonight Harris offered to cook burgers for dinner with Snow Bird bud Virgil. Notice how Harris is cooking.



The finished meal. Harris really scored on this!
