we had some pretty big storms roll through here last night. i haven't been out to check if we had any damage yet. i wasn't pleased that the power went out 2 different times last night. just long enough that the clocks needed to be reset. good times.
my sister made it down here last night. she brought me the stuff she got me in NYC. pretty cool. she's going to attempt to cook this new recipe for breakfast. god help us all.
my back was in horrific pain last night while i was doing the dishes. i fear that i have another bulging disc. i'm going to try to hold out to my doctor's appointment next week. fingers are crossed.
the Yankees offense showed some life last night, beating Toronto 7-3. that's their 15th straight win at home over Toronto. they go for the sweep tonight.
the World Cup saw the end of the empire yesterday. Spain lost to Chile 2-0, thus being eliminated from the World Cup. Croatia beat Cameroon 4-0 to set up a huge game against Mexico on June 23rd. in the game of the day the Netherlands beat Australia 3-2 in a back and forth affair.
today's action sees Colombia take on the Ivory Coast. that should be fun. Greece plays Japan. and in the game of the day, a MUST WIN game between England and Uruguay.
that's pretty much all that's going on in my world. i'm off to go feed the cats, check for damage, and then ice my back down for the rest of the day.
hope this finds everyone well.
peace and chicken grease...

a goodbye and a hello once again to more rain
we start off this blog with a plug for my friend, Sam Roberts. check out his latest podcast and everything he has going on at notsam.com.
a quick critter update: 1 trap by the summer kitchen: 1 nursing female raccoon; 1 trap by the windmill bird feeder: 1 baby raccoon. we have 2 more traps set up now, hopefully we get the groundhog and/or the other raccoon i've seen out here. i believe the skunk caught wind of all this going on and has left. much to that little fucker's surprise, his former home will be sealed up before it gets back.
not sure if we will catch anything tonight given the storms that are supposed to come overnight. it certainly has been warm enough today to provide the fuel for some shit tonight. i don't really like night storms, but, i hardly sleep anymore anyway.
The Voice played out how i kind of figured last night. Sasha overplayed her hand and the Swon Brothers swooped right in. so the final is basically Usher vs. Blake. none of the final 3 have had that holy shit moment yet. they might want to get that on Monday if they want to win.
Deadliest Catch was great as usual. as much as i think i could do that job and would really enjoy (and NEED) the money, there's no fucking way. i worked outside for nearly 7 years. i've had my fill of that life.
the Yankees had the bases loaded in the first inning last night. they didn't score. i didn't bother to turn back until the soccer game was over. and though the Yankees made it somewhat interesting, judging from everything i read this morning, the only thing close about the game was the score, 6-4. thankfully i have hockey to watch instead of another shitty pitching performance tonight.
team USA played a dominating game against Panama, winning 2-0. a much needed 3 points to take them to the top of the group. things are definitely looking up for qualifying for the World Cup. highlights below:
that was a victory beer i enjoyed.
i might have watched a minute or two of the NBA last night. every time i saw the score, it was never close. and one team beating the shit out of another is really no fun for me unless i have money on the game. and those days have passed me by years ago now.
i am looking forward to a little original 6 Stanley Cup Final action tonight between Boston and Chicago. i will be rooting for Chicago as i couldn't root for Boston in anything.
the rest of the evening will be spent watching the weather. i really wouldn't mind them being wrong again. i don't think the crops really need a few inches of rain in the next couple of days. a little rain with no wind damage would be fine thank you.
music today:

and i leave you with my new favorite song stuck in my head forever:
