Jeresy Night

My alarm clock went off at eight o’clock this morning so I could call Gollnick and have him help me put the desk into the back of my truck. I am making a trip to Moscow to get my boat. I figure I will stop by the Goodwill and leave off some other stuff for donation.

John came over to my place and helped me load my desk and then he was off. I loaded the rest of the stuff later in the morning when I was closer to being ready to head over. I wanted to go through a box of stuff before I gave it away. I found several thing I had no idea why they were in the box. I pulled them out and set them aside.

I went to Moscow and first went to get my boat. It was just before noon and I wanted to make sure I got it before Dale closed for lunch, because I was planning on buying a device so I can run my boat at home. I hope to use it before I go to the river in the future to make sure the boat will run.

I stopped at Goodwill and the guy said they don’t take metal desks. I told him I was told on the telephone that you did. Oh well, I did get rid of the rest of the stuff. I drove back to Pullman and called up Bien to see if he would help me unload the desk.

I got a call from Pete from the Coroner’s Office. He was in the meeting at the SO where they were talking about what was going on. I had called a couple guys to see about getting a ride. I was going to represent the jail. But Pete asked if I would represent the coroner’s office. I told him I would. He also said that the deputies are all working the event, so they were going to not be in the procession. I decided to see if I could get a ride with someone from WSU PD.

It wasn’t long before it was time to head to the City Playfields for the softball double header. We were playing Palouse Tavern followed by Palouse Multiple Services. Palouse Tavern only have nine guys, but so did we. They have not had a great year to this point in the season, but that did not stop them from destroying us. We lost by twenty-four runs. We went on to face PMS and they just hit the ball. We also made a ton of errors, but they hit the ball, scoring almost five runs every inning. At the end of every inning they had two men left on base. It showed they were doing well. We had one good inning against them hitting, scoring fourteen runs, but that was the end of it for us.

Following the games it was time to start Jersey Night. That is a night where everyone goes out to the bars until the wee hours of the morning, wearing our softball uniforms. We normally go to My Office after the games, but this is different.

I got to My Office with Brandon. We went in and I ordered some pop and food. I wasn’t going to drink at all. Brandon ordered a pitcher of beer. Soon a round of shots happened. And then another, and another, and another. Soon I got a pitcher of beer. Oh things were good, but I also had to be up around six in the morning, so I was not going to be able to stay out late.

Dave, the Jeopardy Champ, and I played the NTN trivia, but he kept beating me pretty badly. There was a question or two along the way that I won. But for the most part Dave was the man.

As everyone was going to head to ValHalla, I decided that I was going to go home and go to bed. I have a funeral to go to tomorrow and I wanted to not be too tired.
