Like usual it seems like everything is breaking. First Jenifer gets her car hailed on then it's battery dies. I checked the battery and it had a 6 year battery. Great, car is only 4 years old so at least some portion of the cost should be covered. Wrong. Because it was installed when the car was new it is only covered by the 36 month manufacture warranty. (Yea, that is logical) So paid full price.
Then my power washer stopped pumping at high pressure. It was a little over 1 year old so great, it had a 2 year warranty. Wrong. It has a 1 year pump warranty (The part that went bad) and a 2 year engine warranty. (Only can find that if you check the VERY fine details)
These are just daily thoughts I have on the industry and processes. As a bonus you get some personal stories experience and others that may not be related to anything!

Bat Boy and Robin
OK there is no Robin in this story, just Bat Boy Carsen.

He had an absolute blast. It is all he can talk about this week. Not only was it good for him to stretch to new roles but also to take responsibility. He learned that when the umpire showed him fingers between innings he was to deliver that number of balls, after each hit to get the bat and guards, and of course he had to pay attention the whole game.
Afterwards the Larks players played around with him. Playing catch, allowing him to pitch to the catcher and more. I am sure this will be one of those moments he remembers forever.

Fly In

As you can see, it all started early. In fact even earlier than this, before the sun came up. It was in the upper 40's to get started which is a bit cool, however it was perfect wind wise which does not happen much. There were many cool planes that came in;

I believe that Caden's favorite was the military display

The helicopter rides were definitely a hit!

The remote control planes were definitely interesting. They go much faster than I thought was possible!

There were reenactments, Amelia came back to Kansas!

One of my favorite planes came later in the day.

No way am I going up in one of those.
There was definitely a crowd.

Everyone had a great time.

5 am came early
Headed out the door to the fly in early this morning. Other than early flights or trips to the Chiefs game I don't think I get up this early for anything. I will post some good pictures of the planes and activities later! All the planning for this one day.

Busy weekend coming up!
Starting today I will spend most of the day finalizing details for tomorrows fly in.
Tonight is the first Larks game.
Saturday begins early at 5:30 or so at the airport for the fly in. Lots of things going on there. From Blackhalk helicopters to private aircraft, dunk tank, remote control aircraft, rocket show, car show, motorcycle show, food, prizes, helicopter rides, Amelia Earhart reenactment, live radio remote, and so much more!
Then that night another Larks game. (Somewhere in there is a wedding)
Then Sunday slows down a bit. Only a Larks game but Blake (The Larks player staying with us) starts! Jenifer will be nervous.

Just hit the ball.
Spent the weekend at my parents lake house and of course Dad and I hit the course today. OK the wind was 40 mph and the heat was on. One thing that we decided was that instead of trying to hit harder and control everything just take a relaxed swing and relaxed pace. It seems that when you do this the ball goes further and where you want it to go.
I think in sales this is also true. Be honest, take a natural pace and do the right thing. You might be amazed how well it goes.
