Regular season is officially on, everywhere.
Saturday was opening day at the Riata. Argosy team consisted of Jess, Juice, Ford, Spoons, me, and Creepy. We went 1 on 1 vs. the home team. It was good to see Ronin Steve & Ronin Charlie return to the playing field again. Games were, for the most part, pretty good--I snuck in a couple of blocks & spikes, but we were rained out by 5.
Sunday "opening day" at Argosy started out in a promising fashion, with a hearty brunch served up by Mikey-Bunny, but it turned out to be a rather silly day--not much to say about it, except it was difficult to get everyone to play seriously at the same time. Except for the Jesi, who obliterated Ford Tazzy in a 2's match. And there were some good moments with blocks, serves, and spikes by the Rhino. We also witnessed the reappearance of the Deto, who also fared well on his first day back. I'd have to say that almost none of the matchups on this day would've received the Sheriff's seal of approval.
Monday we had better luck with good games, for the much of the silly had disappeared while most of the fun remained. First, Chief-Doc beat Attorney Scott-drunk Deto in an improbable 2's match. OJ Lawnmower demolished Chief Wescott, and, in the (mostly) ladies game of Bunny Pirate vs Chief Jordan, the latter team prevailed in a best of 3 battle. In notable 3s action, the message was, "Respect your elders!," emphatically delivered by Chief Jess Jesus to Ford T2 Wescott. A beautiful if one sided game--Jesus what tossing out thunderbolts on the spikes, Jess masterfully shut down the net, and T1 proved his dominance once again vs the newer model, as well as ripping some nice serves and a couple of spikes as well. Could this be the year that we add "Chief on 2" into the lexicon right beside "2 to Chief?" Adding to the block tally this weekend--1 on both Jesi
Notable firsts--Ford, being unaware the ball was in play, used his hat as a fielding device.
Riata seems to have found some sort of soft cover for their drain. In our own no-frills improvisational Argosy fashion, we threw a mat over the drain, and drain pain goes away.
Jess put forward a useful reminder--the bird poo makes me think of bird flu, which makes me think the birds can nest in any trees they like away from the pool. Anyone who sees those plastic owls for a reasonable price feel free to share this information with the group.
Anyone else with amusing anecdotes the wish to add should chime in on this thread.
And a reminder--what day is it in the ongoing Optimus hostage crisis?
