Well, I don’t really feel to bad about it. I got a walk, a nice hit which pulled/strained my oblique (the left one), and then I couldn’t really do much… so my next at bat I tried to swing…and that was a really bad idea. So I took the next pitch..for called strike 2. Bummer.

My side is killing me, and I could barely make a left turn when driving home. But the fun doesn’t end..oh know. most people would be wise and stretch and hang out at home…

I hitched up Matty and my moms dog Buddy that I’m watching this week for a walk…. over behind Cold Stone area a big black lab start running around us. Fine..I just kept going…and that lab kept following…. finally over by Seven Lakes Park, it was obvious he wasn’t going to go home. I called the Loveland PD and captured the lab (twice). Finally, after about 40 minutes…the Larimer Humane Society showed up and they took him away. I finished my walk..grimacing with each step.

I don’t see any big bruise in my left side, and there’s no blood coming out where it shouldn’t. So I guess it’ll get better….with time. And I need to learn how to hit left handed because I just don’t think it’ll be “fine” be next Monday.

What an exciting day!

On the weekends, I still have the bad habit of waking up at 5:30 (ok, sometimes 4:00) in the morning.  instead of just sitting around, or walking for an hour around Boyd…I’ve decided to go into Poudre Canyon for the trails there.

I don’t know why sometimes it takes me months to remember things, but, I’ve gone the last 3 weekends.  Once up Dadds Gulch, Once up Roaring Creek, and Saturday it was Hewlett Gulch.

Mom went with for Hewlett Gulch and really seemed to enjoy it.

Matty gets to go on all the hikes, and she does really well.  doesn’t generally run to far away unless she’s found water.  And I have yet to hear her bark at anyone or other dogs.  It’s a nice way to go spend several hours in the Colorado Mountains.  Hopefully it doesn’t get too cold so I can keep it up for a couple more weeks 🙂

And if you want to go….just let me know, I’ll tell you which trail I’m pondering next!

This was on Roaring Creek:
