Spring!

No update on the Andy Rooneys, as I'm really sucking it up lately. But something good DID happen today...

I got the Porsche out of the garage!! Spring is officially here! It was an easy job this year. Put the battery in, got the oil flowing, and she started up on the first twist of the key. I let it warm up for a few minutes, and took it out for about 40 miles. Needs an oil change and a wash, but that's about it.

More Old Pictures

More super old pictures, going back to 1979. Here's my cousin Matt, my grandpa, and me (in green). I'm 4 weeks older than Matt, big difference when you're 1! No clue who thought those pants were stylish, though.Family picture, circa 1980. Now I know where I got my twiggy arms from. Fortunately I don't have a need for his funky glasses.
Probably two months after Andrew was born. Interesting fact: my parents still have that chair in the basement.
Maybe 1983 here. Table in the background? Still in the basement.
Another family picture, this time circa 1987 or so. I guess the park was really flooded. There was another picture with all the cousins, unfortunately Matt and I were dressed nearly identically.

Old Picture

I have no clue what Chadwick got me for my birthday, but it's probably the best present I ever received, given the look on my face. Even Andrew is excited! I'm sure it was an Atari game, possibly California Games.

Chad, do you remember?

Andy Rooneys - Week 5

I'm not going to dignify this week's performance with a blog post, it was that bad. We lost one of the games by 150 pins. I barely beat my handicap in one game. An ugly ugly night.

I did make it home this weekend, and managed to pick up a bunch of old pictures. Think 1974 to 1990. Pre-mullet, even! Fun times. Anyways, if you're all lucky, I'll get some of them scanned in and posted this week. It's only a couple hundred that I have to sort thru...

The Andy Rooneys - Week 4

A good week for the Andy Rooneys, not a good week for me. After last week's absolute skunking, we pulled out two games this week, and 4 points out of 7. This, even given that in game 2, the entire other team out-bowled their average, and I stunk it up. Thank Ian, putting down a 189 scratch!

An atrocious showing, to be sure. My arm and wrist got pretty sore after the first game. That's what I get for not working out this week. Let's hope that next week I can pull it back together.
