To Be Wanted

..... seems to be a common theme in life

We have 6 casinos bombarding us w/ offers of comp points and free play. The casinos are in NY ( the Seneca boys ) , Cleveland , Las Vegas and Niagara Falls
Bet you weren't thinking of that kind of wanted

The weather is up and down but sunny and hovering  at 50 F
Coolish wind though. Our lakes are still very cold

The river at QMH is high. The water supposedly peaked , yesterday

I watched islands float down the river. My biggest was 20 ft by 10 ft
and slipped right by. However , as I watched and heard it slammed into a neighbour's floating dock and pushed it onto shore. That was a slam noise that I heard
The guys claim one island was 80 ft by 60 ft.
The islands are clumps of reeds ( ??????????  ) and soil (  ???? ) bobbing down the torrent b/c it is ripping even at our level ( close to the mouth )

The water is under the boathouse door. Hopefully the boat isn't afloat in there.
On my drive up , I guesstimated that for me to be affected the water would need to up 3 1/2 ft --- I was bang on
My docks are islands themselves surrounded by water

My Heart Rate monitor for exercising went kabloo - eee. Total failure - as opposed to intermittent failure before.
M offered a new HRm as a BD present. Ordered through Amazon , the HRm arrived three days early.
Had to try it out. works great. A Polar 300 Xs
The work out included shooting against the ' rebounder ' 
The rebounder , rebounds balls. soccer , baseball and lacrosse
A net affair w/ elastic ties that supply the bounce

This rebounder was a $ 50 purchase 5 yrs ago.
The rebounder has been tweaked so that the ties don't fall off all the time and the rebounder arm doesn't fall down

The alternative is finding a school wall to shoot against Once easy now . a little more difficult.
The closest school rents out the gym for Language school ( ? down't know which , but they've asked me not to make noise at least once )

I think that I have shooter's arm from the 12 minute shooting drill

Oh , well boys will be boys
Come on , it was sunny and warm and spring was in the air - not the arm apparently.

BTW - the boys of Hop managed a 13 - 7 win vs. Villanova.
The JHU defence held the Wildcats scoreless for 22 minutes,

Go !! Hop   Go !!
