Spring Training game #1

Does this mean that I'm going to have to take up carpentry?

Today was the first game of the 2010 Spring Training season in the Cactus League. We saw the Mariner's and the Giants play to a 7 to 7 tie after 9 innings. Not sure how the game ended up, as we decided to head back. We are about an hour from the park in Peoria. They pretty much played what could be considered a starting lineup for the first 4 innings. It was a near perfect day with clear skies and temperatures in the low to mid 70's.
Yesterday we took a run out to Tortilla Flats. We were amazed at how green it is. The road was closed beyond Tortilla Flats due to the river flowing over the road.
On Monday I fired up the Weber Smokey Mountain and cooked 2 racks of baby back ribs along with some Italian sausage. It tastes just as good here as it does at home. I'm running low on Bone Suckin Sauce, but I think I know where to get more. We discovered a BBQ Joint at the ballpark today. I'm going to have to give it a try. The name says it all!!

I'm glad the weather is cooperating, the pictures are great.
Speaking of BBQ, my mouth is watering for the famous "Ernesto's BBQ". Hasta Luego....Diane
