I picked up Blake and took him to the station so he could get his truck. I worked without incident, but I was pretty tired due to being up so late the last two nights.<\/p>\n<p>I went to get my cell phone switched over to my new one. It finally came back from getting fixed. The screen had started to have problems. So I got the phone switched over and I am using the new phone again. That is pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was over to Blockbuster. I am not very happy with them. There was a movie that was rented a few months back. Someone was supposed to return it for me, but it wasn&#8217;t returned, as I found out. Well they just charge you for the movie and you keep it should you not return it after a certain period of time. So I had this charge on my account. <\/p>\n<p>Rather than send me an invoice or anything that said I owed them money, I got a letter from a collections agency saying I owed money. I was all sorts of upset over getting this letter. <\/p>\n<p>I paid for my bill and then I told the guy they need to do something other than just send bills to collections. It is hard to pay bills when you don&#8217;t even know that you have one. After I paid the guy gave me a receipt to show that I paid my bill, then a second print out comes through the printer. He started to grab it saying I received a coupon for a dollar-ninety-nine rental. I was walking by him and I said &#8220;don&#8217;t need it&#8221; and walked out of the store. <\/p>\n<p>I think I will be going to Video Quest when I want to rent video&#8217;s in the future. I am very disappointed in how Blockbuster dealt with this.<\/p>\n<p>After having a good couple games on Saturday our time on the field Sunday was cancelled due to rain. The rescheduled game was made for tonight. We had a solid core of guys going out to play, but it was not to be. In the first game I started at third base, but I was in a lot of pain with my neck. It hurt to turn it. So playing a fielding position would not be that good. Eric got there and I had him take over for me at third. But we could not string the hits together like we did on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>Sports Page took the first game by a homerun in the sixth inning. They won by three. In the second game they had a couple big innings and beat us pretty good. We ended up in second place in the post-season tournament. I was disappointed by the finish. We had the ability to win it.<\/p>\n<p>After the game Sheila and I spent some time talking before I went to the Sports Page to chat with Jessie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning came early because I was going to work at the FD for a couple hours to cover for a test they other guys were taking for the LT position.
