Getting ready to go Glamping

A recent study has found that woman who carry a little extra weight

 live longer than men who mention it. 

So my normal routine is thrown off a little today so I have time for a tiny blog.   

Typically I have been spending the morning working on MLB wagering, just small time stuff.  My plan THIS year was not to be a sniper but to be a machine gunner blasting away with many picks.   So far so good.  

The good thing is it's been consistent . . .so far   Money Line, Run Line and O/U  so the MAX number of bets per day COULD be 45  LOL.   Normally I'm in the 16 range.  I'm averaging 1.3 units a day.  Yea - It will all come crashing down at some point as all systems do but not before I make a little profit.  

Sadly the site where I get data says "NO GAMES TODAY".  ummmmm  what?  So I have extra time.

We all know the plight of my Strat-o-matic keeper league.  Covid crushed my players.  Win the World Series and maybe I can win 50 games this year.  April games are in and I'm on pace to win 41. 

HOWEVER - at the moment I have had a very good draft considering I drafted 24th and had ZERO pitching.  One of those pitchers crushed the Brewers last night    

Starting pitchers picks 

1st round pick (24th pick overall) Adrian Houser   3.32
5th round pick (120th pick overall)Trevor Rogers  1.29

14th round pick (336th pick overall) Matt Harvey  4.26 ERA

Bullpen picks

3rd round  (72th pick overall)Phil Maton   2.84

4th round (96th pick overall)Caleb Smith  2.63

7th round (168th pick overall)Dylan Floro  1.69

Not bad getting 6 pitchers from a horrible draft - SO FAR a success. 

PLUS - I traded Trout  GULP!!  I got a 2nd round pick next year and a 1st round pick in 2023 plus 2 players to eat up Trout's plate appearances. I lose Yelich next year to Free Agency after having him for 7 years.  

OH - if you are astute you will notice the lack of what my 2nd round pick was . . . . . . Linblom  LOL  LITERALLY what I thought was the best starting pitcher remaining. I REALLY needed innings, ANY innings THIS year.

Glamping was not so much different 80 years ago 

MEANWHILE - we wait for our camper .  Went on a spending spree at Camping World yesterday and purchased a 22 inch Blackstone griddle for an amazing $103 ($149.99 at Walmart) with a lifetime warranty. 

  So today as we clean the garage HOPING to get a camper soon, I'll be seasoning the heck out of the grill.  This is so important.  The Old Rock, a wonderful bar outside of Columbus got new owners a few years ago and they REALLY cleaned their grill, got all that yucky black off the grill and the burgers went way way down hill with no more flavor from the tens of thousands of burgers in the past.  SAD

We are getting all the things needed which is more than you would think.  Like art fairs - SO MANY things needed that nobody knows about or thinks about if not camping.  This is "A" list we have found to help.  Not going to have ALL of this but . . . . . .  What is a Woofum Stick?  And nothing citronella - that is old technology - Thermacells are AWESOME and new technology.  We had a couple in our cart and a woman behind us said she goes camping in deep woods Canada and LOVED them.    

A few things I don't want to get UNTIL we ACTUALLY have a camper.  Our first adventure is in 3 weeks to Wyalusing State Park.  Might have to cancel.  NOBODY has ANY pop-ups in Wisconsin.  We checked out 3 places - zero - no used and no new.  We ordered ours in November. 

We don't want to be like these guys!!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3SFqV0hMyo

Seems Flagstaff and other places are only working 3 days a week - glue shortage and one factory burned to the ground this winter. . waiting waiting waiting.

Ever take your keyboard and shake it upside down?  I got a whole free lunch out of it.
