Country Bumpkins Marks family invade Roseville. Surgery in near future for Samoasoftball. Softball updates!

Guy Fieri from Ferndale has become a famous restaurant owner of the Johnny Garlic's chain. My son Jacob took Robin and I to one of the places in Roseville. It was a friday night and they were packed. A few tables were glaringly empty with people waiting to be seated. They were being held for VI P's I guess. That really fries me. We are just standing waiting and obviously there are people not showing up on time. When we were sitted, we ordered a appetizer of their famous garlic fries. When they brought the order, I used the little dishes they had in front of us to divide the fries. Seemed the thing to do. Wrong! They brought an order of Focaccia Bread and they used the little dishes for a oil and vinegar mixture to dip the Focaccia Bread. So give me a memo! How am I supposed to know this? Embarrassing.

Robin and I were in Redding Thursday to meet Dr. Ferraro about my right wrist injury. He went over my records and said he would be able to repair my injury. I asked if I could attempt to play softball with this injury until I am cut up. He told me to go ahead, I could not injure it any further. I am now a lefty until the chop shop.

Robin and I stopped in Anderson and Red Bluff to post tournament fliers for the Memorial Weekend Tournament in Weaverville. Both field looked good. We stopped in Woodland and saw the new synthetic fields and posted information. These fields are going to be the best in Nor Cal. We also posted material at the Sacramento Complex.

COED Softball is alive and well in Fortuna this Sunday the 17th all day. 7 Teams and hundreds of people are participating down that way. The second weekend of Blue Lake Woodbat is also going. 9am to 7pm. Have fun!

Rich,
Guy's frys are nowhere near as good as Mike's and being from the area I am sure he knows that. While you were in Roseville you should have went to the Frys's store there. It is a great theme store for Frys, I know I flew down and spent 6 weeks stocking and opening it when it was started. Good look with the wrist, they have put off my hip replacement till at least Nov and I lose 25-35 pounds :(

Mike's Frys are probably good, but his nutty right-wing propaganda ruins my appetite.

Rambo said...

No probably about it they are the best. But there is a easy way to fix your appetite, DONT EAT THERE!! And remember, those signs have been up since the early fiftys

I love Mike's fries! There, I confessed. Our local version of the soup Nazi's in hamburger form.
Not a friendly place, or maybe they smell my liberalism when I order.

I used to love OH's Hamburger King on Harris and L&M Drive Inn At Wabash and Broadway (Adel's) in the 70's and 80's.

Oh, of course, Maggie's in Mckinleyville. Go to Toni's in Arcata if you need to be thinking of the past.

My fav "no longer there" place was Dots, right on the outside of the Arcata Drive In

Dot's is Toni's! Go there when you are in town!

So you can play softball but still collect diaability is that really the message a future politician wants to send, taking advantage of the system and bragging about it are what has got us in to this current mess.

6:24am-Yeah, I faked the MRI and the Arthogram and the tear in my cartilage. I am also going to a have a fake surgery to repair the fake tear and wear a fake cast and not play for the 4 months of rehab just to buck the system.

Thats so cool Rich. Are you like me with my hip that needs replacing, do you have fake pain too? If I work more then 1 eight hour shift in a row I have to use a cane and sit every 30 minutes for 5. But I still try and I have persons at work who bitch because if I can work it MUST not be all that bad. Best of luck with your wrist and I hope it gets fixed up 110%. They won't do mine till I drop 30+ pounds
