Monday was a very rainy and windy day. Yesterday was cloudy cold but dry. Today we are back to rain, windy and cold.
Jess was supposed to have the conference track meet on Monday but the weather was bad so they moved it to last night. She won 4 golds which gives her 16 conference gold medals for her career. She has never lost a conference event in four years.
Last night she won the long jump with a jump of 16'9. Not her best but she still won by over a foot and a half. She won the 100 meter dash with a time of 12:44. She won the 400 with a time of 57.4 and the 200 in a time of 25.89. I really think she was on pace to get a 55 in the 400 but she really tightened up the last 60 meters. I think the cold was a factor.
Drew had his last golf meet last night. He shot a 61 and was disappointed but we all have ups and downs in golf. I will golf with him this summer so he can practice.
I declined the job in Urbandale yesterday. It just wasn't a good fit and the timing it bad. I am glad that is behind me.
I meet with the teachers at the elementary today to talk about new technology purchases and next year. It should be fun.
It has been pretty busy in the office lately but that has been kind of good. Nothing too hectic but busy.
Nancy is taking Thursday and Friday off to stay home with the new grand-baby. She is way excited.
District track meet is Friday and state is next week so things are winding down. If all goes well, Jess should be going to state in 4 events.
Ok, off to start.

Rainy days and Mondays
It is going to be windy and rainy today. We are supposed to have the conference track meet today but I hope they postpone it. It would really to be out in this let alone run in it.
I have been working on the yard to get it ready for graduation. Nancy has been the foreman in the project. It looks much better but we still have a bunch of work left to do.
Saturday morning I was sitting in the living room have a little coffee and watching TV when the doorbell rings. The roofer said the shingles cam in and they wanted to do the roof. It was cool with me so they started at 8:00 am.
The pulled all the shingles off the roof, put down new paper or whatever that stuff is, and shingled the whole roof and my shed by 6 pm. I think it turned out great.
Today the guy who does the gutters is supposed to be here to replace that.
Drew has been golfing pretty well. He shot 59 in the last two meets and was the best on the Perry team. I want to go out and golf with him sometime.
I gave Jess' old car to one of my DMACC students. Her family struggles and only had one car. She always made it to class but had to wait until 10:30 for a ride home. She was going to drop out because she said the classes were hard and it was just a hassle.
I told her she could have the car if she stayed in school. She is a bright kid that has had a rough life. Her mom and her wife came up with her Saturday and picked up the car. They were very appreciative and told me they would keep her in school.
Urbandale school district would like me to come and work for them as a data manager. It really isn't a position I am interested in but the business manager their is a friend so I am going there today to talk about it.
It looks like it is going to be a cold and wet week. Ugh!
Off to start the adventure.
