I've slacked on watching baseball this year... just haven't felt it after umpiring HS FP softball. Found I enjoyed FP more than baseball as a game. Though Bunts and Dingers!!!! A++++ reasons to love the game!

Burned out gifted kid issue number 5011: Getting bummed over a 98% on a test that proves you know the rules about a thing, not because you didn't know the answer but because the question was worded weird and doesn't really apply to your state ass'n. #refereelife #refproblems

Long week of refereeing high school fixtures. Day off today, but refereed 2 varsity matches and assistant refereed a third. Ran/walked just over 15 km over the day. It was stupid hot for all three games, but we got it done. #RefereeLife #Refereeing #FitnessJourney

then made the mistake and did Shavasana pose... an indeterminate time later, my dog licked all over my face telling me it was time to get up and go to bed. I totally fell asleep on my yoga mat.

Last night's soccer: 1.5 miles in a high school game. One of the lower amounts I've ever ran over the course of the game. Solid midfield battle with backs that didn't push forward. Single header game as the home side's park had no lights. Got home & did a fast chest set #reflife #soccerref #refsky

In other news, I have a spare November 1915 Physical Culture Magazine that I'd love to trade for a July 1915 hard copy. #strongman #physicalculture #lifting #mcfadden #bernarrmcfadden #hackenschmidt #jowett #refereelife

First world physical culture collector issues: Thought I ordered a full run of the 1915 Physical Culture run. There are in fact 12 issues from 1915 that were delivered, and upon further review, I realized I misunderstood the listing.

When you are a high school referee, you kinda kiss your social life away during season - esp. since I referee club and high school ball. I'm scheduled for five off days over the next six wks apparently. Tho, tbf: 2 of those working days are volleyball the rest are soccer #GetSome #Run #RefereeLife

It's hopefully the first in a series of books about lifting and early physical culture... I started focusing on lifting like the early strong men earlier this year, and realized their books are not "user friendly" and are hard to follow sometimes so I thought it was a niche I could poke at. :D

I keep forgetting I have this app. I want to use it a lot more. Especially since I'm working on a new book. Obviously looking for followers/mutuals/whatever. Currently writing a book on George Hackenschmidt and his lifts. Hoping to polish on 8 Sept. #author #kentucky #sports #referee

I don't believe in measuring unless I"m baking. So I can't really be more specific on how much of anything.

Tomato paste, tomato sauce, washyoursister sauce, chili powder (til the ancients say enough), rotello tomatoes w/ chilis, beans, onion, garlic, diced carrots, meat, spices whatever you like (til the ancestors say good), simmer all day in the crock pot. some black strap molassis if your fancy.

Autograph of the Day: Darren "Dutch" Daulton. One of my heroes growing up who played behind the plate. I modeled my own catching career behind Daulton and Gary "The Kid" Carter. #autographs #collecting #thehobby

How many attorneys have been disbarred now for their dealings with DJT? And I've got a feeling that the interim US Attorney that just got hammered by the Eastern District of Virginia is going to be added to this list. At some point, you'd look at the history and go, "umm. no thank you."

Today I won 12 whole yankee dollars from the county fair for a poem and a short story. Two red ribbons... Problem with subjective judging is that it is in fact subjective. a different judge might have blued me across the board. Love all y'all.

Big news. I've been writing for the Meade County Messenger. Who would have thought that #printjournalism would still be a thing in 2025? Yay local interest/local sports.

Women's Lacrosse is one of the more fun sports I've encountered. I'm learning it quickly - eventually, I hope I'm half as good at LAX as I am at soccer.

I didn't think Rickey used pronouns at all. I thought he said "Rickey is the greatest [base stealer] of all time."

Last night's lacrosse match was the opposite of "domination but winning 1-0" it was "holy shit this game is closer htan the score board shows" The difference goal keeping made. Had to send a player off. Some slashing and some cross checking and the tempers were a-flaring.

Alas no. I met him in my youth as a Boy Scout touring the capital and sitting at congress. Somewhere there’s an 8x10 of me shaking his hand. It’s kinda gross tbh

the rain took my tournament pay this weekend by causing us to cancel a 9 game schedule. I've got some cards and stuff on my ebay store and other misc stuff. Take a look, see if thre's anything you might need/want on there. I've a 450 budget shortfall to make up for. www.ebay.com/str/hdstreas...

My name is Dave, and I'm a kit snob. The Sedona Red jerseys with teal nameplates and front numbers and black team names and back numbers look terrible. Do better Arizona.
