The holiday weekend came and went in a blur. Jeff entered us into the Tigers tournament and basically took our NAU team, Miles, Jeff, Ron, Eric, Ryan and Rodney. We played three northern cali teams. It was the most fun I have had playing ball in a long time. The team was balanced. Everyone contributed. No drama. It was just 6 guys playing hard and competing. Win or lose when it is like that I love to play.
Unfortunately, we lost in the Championship game. We lost our composure a bit on the press, got tired and ran outta gas. One of our players got hurt so we didn't have a sub the second half. Our center also fouled out late in the game. Nevertheless, we had a great effort....and it was fun again.
Another plus of the tournament was that Hans came out to watch us play. I think that reminded me why I liked playing with the Big Dogs. I liked everyone on the team so it was like seeing the guys you like and playing together. So thanks for coming out Hans.
Outisde of bball I spent the weekend working on two bathrooms remodels with my dad. Of course nothing was as easy as I thought and nothing went as planned. The guest bathroom took us 3 days to complete and I thought it was just be a 1 hr slam dunk! Geez, goofed that one up. Spent 10-11 hours working on the main bathroom today.
Today is the type of day you realize having stairs suck. Demo'd the bathroom and I had to carry a 98 inch marble counter top, mirror, and 2 vanities down 3 flights of stairs. Easily went up and down 50 times today. The good news is that we were able to get a lot of the work done and we should be done by next weekend. It's good to have a dad who is handy. Not only handy but you really need the right tools to make the job easier.
Sadly, that is my entire holiday weekend. I am so NOT looking forward to going to work. I also have bball Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday this week. My body is just too old to be playing so much. My left knee is sore, I got my right hand stepped on and swollen. I feel old.

Miles,
Besides having the knowledge and the tools, your dad also has the generosity to come over and spend his free time working on your house! That is unreal! Very cool dad!
tom-
yup. i use your dad as the role model. i figure if your dad can come over mow the lawn, wash your cars and watch the grand children than my dad can do the same thing. =)
Miles,
Your dad can at least do things which require skill like remodeling and construction. I'm appreciative of the things my dad can do like mow lawns and wash cars, I'm just saying he can't do the really money saving things. By the way, dad has been over to do any work since 2001. I guess he's getting old. Enjoy it now while your dad is still young.
tom,
it's okay, your dad was still doing things when you moved to your encino house. thus, he was the role model for the other dads to help out. =)
my dad said he will only help on this house. if i move then i have to remember everything he showed me.
