Down the Stretch

Pirates came up short today against the Reds because Chris Heisley hit two home runs.    There are two games back in the division and the wild card.    I went to the grocery store and got what I need.  My can opener was broken so I have to get another one.

Buliding Up

The Pirates won again today and now cutting the Brewers lead to 2 games.   The Steelers made there cuts and the practice squad will be announced tomorrow afternoon.   Work was good today and with everyone else using the cart pushers things will be going great.

Wait

I am reading to learn about sportscasting and getting all phases of my life in order.   I have to go to the store on Sunday, and can't wait for great things for me.  Despite today being a tough one, but I can't wait until because the future is getting better every day.

Phase One

The Steelers lost to the Panthers 10-0 and finished the pre season 1-3.  Now it is starts for real against Cleveland next Sunday afternoon.    The rent was paid and got new frames for my glasses.   It is only the beginning with all of the changes I am going to be making in all phases of my life.

Few Worries

I am proud to say that the washer is working well and the clothes look great.   I thought I lost my lunch container and my radio, but I left it at County Market.  Did some returns and got some cash back.   I have to worry about the rent and getting some food.  For once there are very few worries that I have to deal with.

Lucky Night

Pirates came up with a big win over the Cardinals, but Cutch and Pedro got hurt .  Mom got her pills and need three stamps, plus she gave  me some money.   They were over the apartment and fixed a couple things.   Payday is Thursday and the rent will be taken care of.

Try Again

Another one run loss for the Pirates and get real frustrating giving the lead in the middle innings.  Score one in the 9th and come up short, but have to try again tomorrow evening.    First day back at work was good and the tunnel was in good shape.   They be over tomorrow morning to fix a couple things.

Improvement

My washer has been replaced and will wash my clothes on there later in the week.   Work starts up again on Monday, and realized that I have to make some changes in the way I do business.   I can't make the mistakes of the past and do some improvement in my time management skills.

Big Time

Pirates win another big game against the Brewers, and looking forward to maybe a sweep to cut the deficit to 3 games before the next home stand.     End of thinking about the end of vacation, but it could the beginning of something big.

Refreshing

Happy for the big Pirates win this evening and a game they have to have if they want to catch the Brewers in the division.  Got up early this morning and got everything done, but took a two hour nap.  That cost me a chance to make a phone call to via LinkedIn, but I can call him when I have a day off.   This week have been very busy for me going to Pre season game Vs. the Buffalo Bills,  Pirates win over the Braves Wednesday night, and trips to training camp.   The countdown is on for my loans because one payment was done and eight more to go.

Long Term

LeGarrette Blount and Le'Veon Bell were arrested for possession of marijuana, and Bell was also charged driving under the influence. There was a woman in a Camaro with both men.  It happened at McKnight Road ninety minutes before the team flight to the Philadelphia for a game.  Bell gave a blood test to a hospital and it will take some time for the test results.   Bell and Blount will have to take more drug tests and if they get in trouble again both of them are subjected for a 4 game suspension by the NFL.  The Steelers are going to wait for the legal system to take it course.    Both men showed poor judgment in this situation, and could hurt their careers long term.

Improvement

The Pirates won a big game last night and now they have to take on the Brewers starting tomorrow night.    The Steelers played a lousy game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and have to get better next week versus the Carolina Panthers.

Turn Around

Looking forward to going to the Pirates game tomorrow night with the Braves.   The forecast is not very promising, and the season is going downhill.   I don't see like that because they can turn it around real quick.

Great Year

I did some work on my book tonight and it will be a while before it is completed.  I am asking please be patience with me for this is a labor of love. The Pirates lost again tonight, but good things will be on the horizon for the team.  Injured players will be back and this season could still be great.

Chances and Risks

The Pirates fans are frustrated after this weekend series against the Nationals.  They have to right the ship against the Braves starting Monday night.  I will be at the game on Wednesday night, but the weather could be a major problem.  If the one of the games on Monday or Tuesday gets rained out we could wind up with a doubleheader.  It could be a long night for us, but it could be worth it.   I might talk to someone on Federal Street where they do the pre game show and something could happen.  If not I will forge ahead.

Practice Time

I enjoyed myself on Thursday night with the night practice, and there were great made by the Steelers.    Friday was a day to relax and take care of some small things.  So far the vacation is going good.

Hard Luck

I enjoyed going to the Steelers game last night with a win over the Buffalo Bills 19-16.  Frustrated by the Pirates five game losing streak,  but will not give up on the season.   I am getting a new washer soon and don't have to worry about that.    Vacation real starts Monday and have already gone to the grocery store.

Doing Work

Did a blog today about our day at the joint practice with the Bills.   We had a great day and paid for our tickets, plus taking care of tickets for other people.     Julie will get her tickets and maybe another blog will be done this evening.

Changes

Vacation starts tomorrow with the joint practice of the Steelers and the Bills.  We have to pick up Tom Bittner tomorrow afternoon, and on Saturday night going to Heinz Field.   I have a chance to work on some things and make some changes.

Preparing for the Future

Great Pirates win this evening, and looking forward to the upcoming vacation.   It starts on Thursday with the joint practice with the Steelers taking on the Buffalo Bills.   We have to pick up Tom in the afternoon and pay for our tickets.   The bills have already paid up and will go to store real soon.

Going Forward

Left a message on Facebook and said that I am proud of my nephews.   Got a message from Amy and said they are proud of me.    Happy that the Pirates won over the Tigers this evening, and they need to keep on winning despite all of the injuries to their star players.  Finally I get a day off after working 6 straight days and the vacation is around the corner.

Best Opportunity

Good day at work the tunnels were filled up before I left.   This week will be short with Wednesday been my last day before I go on vacation.  I have a lot on mind and things will be starting to come together real soon.  I told Dan that we have to try to get new job and the vacation time will be the best opportunity to get that done.

New Beginnings

The Pirates got beat tonight by the Padres and Steelers lose their first pre season game against the NY Giants.  Good day at work and the tunnels were filled up, and happy for my nephew who will start at California University of PA in two weeks.  Hopefully his uncle will start a new life real soon, and not spinning my wheels.

Voicing

I have never been afraid to let people know how I feel about things.   I let some folks at work that I have been frustrated about not going forward in my career.   It is natural to get frustrated because I am not patience about things.  I can't let the frustration be hindrance to my future.

Next Week

Good day at work and looking forward to next week because next Thursday I will be at St. Vincent for a joint practice against the Buffalo Bills.  Plus I will be at Heinz Field for the pre season game VS the Bills, and next Wednesday at PNC Park for the Pirates VS the Atlanta Braves.  I also hope I get closer to my goal.

Off Hours

I  have not written in the past two days and NFL pre-season football is back.  The Pirates have won the last two games against the Marlins.  Even with the injuries they are 1.5 games back of the Brewers and in the hurt for the wild card.  Still get frustrated about not getting my big breaks.  I can't let that get me down, and may have to leave the area to go forward in life.

Launching Again

Good Monday and Dan has to do something last night so we are going to have some fun tomorrow evening at 5:00.   I am ready to make some things happen real soon and, I am not waiting for 2015.   2015 START NOW.

Last Minute

Good Sunday at work, but was mad about the Pirates getting railroaded by a bad call.   Looking forward for more wins and hopefully get over this raw deal. Dan forget to picked me up, but something happened at the last minute.

Proving Ground

I am having a rare Saturday off and got my schedule for my vacation week.    I am straying from what I am doing, and need to get back on track.    I have two weeks before I go on my vacation and I need to getting things done.   That means doing some cutting back on the things I have doing in the past.

Night Time

The night practice was outstanding with a lot of exciting plays and the crowd was into it.  Already got the tickets for the games we are going to, and don't have to pay Tom until August 14th when we are going to the scrimmage against the Buffalo Bills.
