The maple bat. This would make a great episode of monk. In 1997 a ball player starts to use a maple bat. Soon Sam's bat sales take off. Everybody wants a maple bat. Right down to kids in little league. Then Mr big shot ball player gets hit with a steroids scandal. Maple bat sales tank as people feel it was all in the steroids. Not the wood. So Sam imports Ash borers into the USA. Waiting for them to eat his competitions resources. It has been a long rainy day. Time to hit the hay.

I always liked a maple bat, my grandsons don't seem to have a preference other than whatever they can con grandpa into buying them. Tried a bamboo bat out a few years ago, didn't see the point at that price. Now I'm too busted up to even hold a bat much less swing one.

When I drove over the 140 bridge yesterday it appeared to be largely refilled...that's a lot of water coming down the north branch of the Patapsco (and it hadn't started last night's rain yet).


I hadn't been out much the last couple days, but all the low lying areas I saw today had an inch or two of water standing.

Those big swings in temperature are harder to take, the older one gets.

Once you get used to the summer temperatures in the south those nice sunny days of 70 degree temperatures up north really can feel cool.

Ran out to Wegman's this morning and piled straight into a raging snow squall...that's it, I surrender, Old Man Winter.

So help me, if NOAA reports their standard "April was the warmest on record"...well, whatever...

It will be one of those years. Where you go right from using a heater to flipping on your AC. No open window time.

Heard it was snowing up in Biglerville, too. :wink: :wink:

Brought the cactus back in and will put wood to the fireplace shortly.

We go from winter to summer to winter........

As soon as the snow melts I have to mow the front yard. Some places where the snow didn't stick, the friggin' grass is 5" high. :x
