"Back to Basics"

The theme this week is "Back to Basics" by Christine.  Mac, Kathy, Lew, Christine and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Mondays and voting begins after that.  Lew is still missing in action.

My daughter Tracy took me to the Akron RubberDucks minor league baseball game for Father's Day. She also bought dinner and got us tickets to see Rascal Flatts when they come to the stadium in August. The game is getting back to basics with the younger players still learning. Akron won 3-2  with a walk-off triple to bring in the winning run. Dinner at Luigi's to  follow. What a great day.

We got there early enough to see them finish the field.

Since it is minor league there are some special critters on the field.

Ready to start the game against the Portland (Maine) Sea Dogs. Akron General Hospital in the background.

I must say a hard word to spell silhouette, I found some things around the house in silhouette.

Here is a bird house in the house with a silhouette on it.

Why a fish in silhouette of course.

One of the neighborhood squirrels posed in silhouette.

I guess I could have used my self portrait for this one. I instead chose to use my 1994 GMC pick-up. It belonged to my Dad and I got it when he passed about 10 years ago. It had 84,000 miles and now has 91,000 miles. I use it to tow my boat to the lake and miscellaneous gardening projects. I am hauling some mulch for around the house today.

The main change I made to the truck is a used set of tires and rims. I also added a fishing themed seat cover and steering wheel cover. Notice I cleaned the wheels for the photo shoot. lol

I was out picking up mulch from our city mulch pile. You can take trees and yard waste to the site and they convert it to mulch for the city resident usage. Free if you load it yourself.

You can see the dome behind the mulch pile that they use to convert the mulch..
