Lots of Soccer

Playing on two outdoor teams and 4 indoor teams is keeping me busy! Playing soccer Wed, Thursday, Friday and multiple games on Sunday this Fall!

Winter 2012?

A couple of weeks into October, already.
Soccer is fully into Winter season. I am playing goalie on 6 indoor teams and 2 outdoor teams. Won a couple of division championships Fall indoor!
I replaced all the pipes under my house with plastic PEX. My water lines that were under my house were buried, galvanized, and very corroded. The cost was significant. But now it is done and my water should be okay forever.

Surviving

We lost our indoor soccer championship game 4-0 on Sunday, 7-29-2012. My team could not score. I, however, had several hundred blocks and tons of saves. I pulled my shoulder muscles pretty badly, also. Lots of ice barely does anything and I can’t reach the middle of my back where the stabbing pain is strongest!
My yard is doing well. A/C is working hard. It’s over 100 degrees with the Heat Index over 110 in Fort Worth, Texas as we go from July into August, 2012!

Soccer Champions

Well I am in the championship games for Indoor, and we will be the Div 3 Full Field Outdoor Soccer Champions after we place our last game this Friday.
My New Phone, Samsung Galaxy S III is amazing!
My new Japanese Phoenix is the best!

July 20, 2012

Next to final game in outdoor soccer tonight. We are already mathematically in first place if we lose both remaining games. So tonight, the team will force my to play in the field the entire game as they substitue out in goalie. Not sure if this is torture for them or me.

Winning in Soccer

Been on a awesome winning streak in Soccer. In first place on all teams. Fort Worth Adult Soccer Association, playing in Over 30 Men’s Full Field Outdoor Division 3 FW Rovers, undefeated! Indoor, we went down a division, and beating everyone, barely, there. Good times!

New Leg Tattoo has been colored in too. Should be my last tattoo for a long time!

My New Leg Tattoo

I got a new leg tattoo just before outdoor soccer started up for the summer. As always, Wil at Randy Adams Tattoo shop on E. Lancaster did the art work and tattoo!

So I got a Japanese Phoenix. It balances the Dragon and Koi I have on the other leg. Color will be done after the black and shading has healed 🙂

End of Spring

Close to the end of spring. Still playing in the field in indoor soccer. Playing Goal Keeper in outdoor. Only getting run over and my breathe knocked out, finger has survived, so far!
My big blue morning glories are all blooming. I have a few peaches on the tree. God is good, God is great!

Soccer Injury

Well I suffered my first injury in soccer since playing in Over 30 leagues.
In my first of two games I dislocated my left ring finger –

I went to Urgent care to get x-ray and reset –
Finger Xray
Got it numbed and reset and I went on to play more soccer and soccer a goal running around in the field.
My finger is super bruised and sore now.
Should be okay to play in the field, just not sure about goal keeper. Doctor said it should heal in a couple of days. Who knows!
