State Wrestling Match

The last few days we have been doing a lot of just running around and getting things done that we need to do.  Nothing of much importance, other than helping get our grand son off to school in the morning.  Speaking of our Grand Son, this weekend it was State Wrestling Matches at the Tacoma Dome, Saturday was High School state finals.  Today was Youth or Peewees (5 to 12 year old's) State Wrestling Tournament for the Puget Sound Area, with the top 40 kids in each weight class. Jared made it from his team, but he gained a little weight and wrestled in the 70 to 75 lb class.
Here he is in the black suit getting started in his first match.  At the Tacoma Dome there was 24 mats and a lot of wrestlers.
 He was beat in his first match by 1 point, he really put his heart into it.  Now most of these kids have been wrestling for years and Jared has been doing it for just 2 years and I think he is doing real good.  Keep it up JR!!!
He really did a great job but his second match he got pinned and was not very happy.  So this wrestling day end fast this morning and we were on our way home before 10:00 AM, better luck next year Jared.  He really like's wrestling and I know he will keep at it all year long.  They practice two days a week after wrestling season is over.
So the rest of the day I watched 40 cars race around the track at Daytona, it was a good race and a few smashed up cars, but all in all a great finish with Hamlin winning by .001 over Truex, Jr.
We are kind of hanging out here in the Northwest tell we head to Great Falls, Montana in June.  We are planning a trip to Long Beach for a couple of weeks the first of April.  Other than that we are just hanging out doing a lot of nothing and maintenance on the coach, nothing major just little things. I am hoping in May to have disk brakes put on the coach, I am going to change out the shackle bolts on springs for wet ones so that I can get some grease to them and that should help them last a lot longer.
