Food Trucks Bastrop Sketch

Today was my day out.  I went to lunch with my friend, Susan, at Anita's.  Such a nice lunch.  I had a non alcoholic margarita, asked for lemonade and she asked it I wanted frozen.  Sure I replied and she brought a mason jar of "lemonade".  It tasted just like a margarita so maybe I got margarita mix.  It was delicious.  Must have had 800 calories, but worth it.  I ate a Puffy Taco.  I like those a lot.

After lunch I went over to the food truck plaza so I could sketch in the shade.  I had a latte and sketched for about an hour.  Then got some carnitas at El Fercho to take home for Gene.   I asked what Fercho meant and the waitress said it was a nickname for the owner Fernando.  Hmmm.  They have pretty good food their.  The carnitas was more like shredded pork like we put in tamales.  Usually carnitas are fried pork.  It was good.  I will add some red New Mexico chile for the leftovers.  Pep it up a little.

For Scavenger Hunt 190 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-190-may-9-22.9023/
Sketched in the older Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook with Ohuhu pens and watercolors.  I put in the red letters with a Prismacolor pen when I got home.

I sketched toward the Moosebelly BBQ trailer (I wrote Mooseberry on the truck, guess I was thinking about the blueberries in their BBQ sauce.) and the Thai food trailer.  Neither was open.  Tuesday is probably a slow day.  The latte trailer shut down shortly after I got mine.  I guess they stay open only until lunch time.  The stage with the bench is wired with electricity and has small speakers up.  It is new to me.  It is about 20 x 12 feet, my perspective is off.  I added it after I did the trailers.  It should have been in first.  The back of the Moosebelly trailer is a screened in section and the think sticking out of the orange Thai truck is actually a blue pickup in the parking lot.  There were more flowers but I had been sketching about 45 minutes and needed to leave so quickly added the color.  

Gene had speech therapy and stayed with Pam, caregiver.   He also rode his stationary bike today.  Pretty busy, too.

Strange not to have a baseball game tonight.  Longhorns have one more regular season series with Missouri on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  After that there will be the conference tournament.  After that the Road to Omaha starts with Regionals, Super Regionals and the College World Series.  We shall see how the Horns do.  They have played well, only losing 12 of their 49 games.  One game was rained out.  Hook 'em Horns!  You can get more info here https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/baseball/

 

The Last Purchase

 The Scavenger Hunt list had "the last thing you purchased".  Not exciting for me, it was a prescription for Gene.  They come in a brown paper bag, so that made it somewhat interesting.  

I sketched out on the porch on a gorgeous morning.  It got hot and muggy later so had to close up the house.  I sketched in the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook, a full page with the two sketches.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 188  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-188-apr-15-apr-27.8930/page-3#post-143138

Number 2, the last thing you purchased

Number 3, person or persons - a couple of walkers with their dog.  You wouldn't be able to pick them out of a group from my sketch.  Not even the dog is close.  They were walking pretty fast.  Really.....

The Longhorns are playing Vanderbilt this weekend.  They won Friday night and lost tonight.  All the teams in the conference are pretty close.  The Longhorns and Aggies had one game canceled for weather.  That may hurt them in the standings as other teams have an extra win in their column.  Hopefully they will win tomorrow and win the series.  

Palette in Watercolor

My watercolor palette is always a mess.  Maybe that is why my watercolors are used mainly for sketching.  I sketched while Gene was in PT.  

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 188, Number 1 - used in my art, watercolor palette

I sketched in the Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook a full page 10 x 7.6 inches with an Ohuhu .5 pen and watercolors.

The baseball game tonight was interesting.  The Horns played the Alabama Crimson Tide in Austin at the Disch.  The Longhorns used a different lineup tonight and it seemed to spark them.  They lost the series last weekend in College Station against the Texas Aggies.  Bummer.  Tonight was fun, they won 10 -2 with 4 errors.  Yikes!  They haven't played Alabama many times over the years.  I captured this screen shot from ESPN+ SEC network.

Fire Hydrant Watercolor

Yesterday was my day out.  I met Joanna and spent time with her so didn't sketch much.  I did stop by the fire hydrant in front of the Super 8 on the way to meet her.  It was good to have a daughter and mom time.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life  
Number 5 fire hydrant - sketched with pencil in the Ohuhu Mixed Media sketchbook and added color at home.  I didn't take a photo.  The hydrant was so rusty that I couldn't tell the color.  I guess it may not have been painted like the one at the juice place I sketched a few weeks ago.   I wondered about them leaving the hydrants unpainted.  

It was a nice day.  A bit windy.  The Longhorns baseball team played Texas State in Austin.  Horns won for the first time in a few years.  They have been playing two Tuesday games every season, playing one in San Marcos and one in Austin.  Horns have been winning in San Marcos and then the Bobcats have been winning in Austin.  So the streak was broken.  Horns won both games this season.  

Reese in Markers

We had a visit from Jennie and the grand-dogs today.  It was fun with some tidying up paperwork, sitting on porch, having chicken fried steaks from the Roadhouse Paige and visiting and watching movies.  Wow, lots accomplished.  

Both doggies were standing at the screen trying to see what was going on out in the world.  Listening to birds and some dogs in the distance and a few voices trailing in.  They had been for a walk out there earlier.  I went to get the sketchbook and of course Chewbacca decided to sleep in the sun.  So Reese accommodated me by looking out a couple of different times.

Number 3 yonder - Reese was trying to see what she was hearing over yonder.  She is so black that you can't see any shadows or form so I added a bit of gray.  She is really just black, black, black.  Jennie took some photos of them by our bluebonnets, I will ask to share them with you.

I haven't mentioned much about Longhorn Baseball.  The team is doing great with 18 wins and 2 losses so far.  They travel to Auburn tomorrow.  I will watch on the SEC streaming.  Hook 'em Horns!

Home Sweet Home

I sketched out on the porch!  No this isn't an old post.  It was such a beautiful day today and one of the prompts/items on the Hunt was "outdoors".  We were on the porch for lunch so I decided to get the Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook and do the scene I have done so many times.  Then we came in and Gene rode his bike.  I skipped riding mine to get another item for the Hunt "person".

 

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 182 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-182-feb-2-feb-14.8680/

Number 1 outdoors - the scene off the porch minus water in the lakes.
Number 2 person - a bad sketch of Gene.  In self defense I will say he was moving at the time!  He is always a good sport about it!

We went on Tuesday and had our teeth cleaned.  The dentist found that Gene needs a crown where an old filling is loose.  Fine come back on Thursday.  We went today for a 12:00 noon appointment.  They prepare the tooth and make a crown all the same appointment.  It takes 2 hours or so.  We got in the office and the young gentleman, Kendrick, that always takes good care of us said .... "oops, maybe I said Thursday without the date, I meant next Thursday, February 12."  I think maybe I just got it wrong and he said that to make me feel better.  At any rate we came home and went out on the porch for lunch and stayed a while before going back in for Gene to get his exercise.  We had the door open for quite some time.  I really like that.  

UT Longhorn baseball starts tomorrow.  They will play UC Davis in Austin at the Disch.   Looks like the weather will be super for the weekend.  Unusual, Hook 'em Horns!  I'm sure that there will be some cold weekends before long, but we will take this good weather.  Joanna and I have been in the stands when it is 45º or so.  Long handles, hoodies, and blankets.   Brrrrr.

Finally a Sketch

 I hadn't done a sketch for the new Hunt that I'm hosting.  Not good.  I sketched in the living room in the Conda sketchbook with a Micron 03 pen, freehand.

 

For Scavenger Hunt 163  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-163-jun-19-jul-01.8038/

Number 1 under - stuff under the table top

Our company is gone so quiet here.  Hot outside so not much going on.  

The College World Series is on today.  May be the last game.  The finals are with Coastal Carolina and LSU, the best two of three.  LSU won last night with a score of 1-0.  If they win today it is all over.  Our son-in-law will be happy!  Coastal Carolina had won 26 games in a row ... hard to keep that up.  Our Texas State shut them out 1-0 earlier in the year.  Yay!  It is hard for the number 2 team .. as Tiger Woods always said it is "first loser".   I'm always sad for College baseball to be over.  We don't watch professional sports.

 

Sketching the Usual

One of the items on the Scavenger Hunts was "Sketch this so often (but still love to sketch it)".  We were on the porch so what was handy?  You got it, the old bedraggled geranium.

 

For Scavenger Hunt 160  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-160-may-14-26.7970/

Number 1 sketch so often - the geranium and hummingbird feeder in the Ohuhu sketchbook with watercolors and the Micron 03
Number 2 flower - there is some mimosa limbs from next door peeking through behind the juniper tree 

Life took over keeping me away from sketching and posting.  Gene had a visit to the stroke hospital again.  He had high blood pressure so they wanted to check.  Long story but he was there 2 full days.  He is OK, no stroke so we are home and trying to get back in the routine.  We did go to physical therapy on Friday, watched the baseball games on TV and slowly getting our _ _ _ _  (act) together.

Longhorn baseball are number 1 in the SEC (Southeast Conference) and will be in Alabama this week for the tournament.  From there they will most likely be number 1 in the country and host a Regional and Super Regional on the road to Omaha, College World Series.  Hook 'em Horns!

 

Day Out Sketches

We went out for the day yesterday.  We went to Schulenberg, Texas, for the songwriterserenade.com competition.   It was a beautiful day.  We saw Joanna, some old friends, and listened to some new tunes.  There were about 15 contestants from all over the country.  Brittany Ann Tranbaugh from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,  won.  Joanna's friend, Ashley Monical, came in second.  

It was a beautiful day and nice to sit outside under a roof and relax.  They had food, and drinks.  There were T-shirts and music for sale.  We left early but had a nice time.

I sketched a little off to the side and forward toward the stage.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 158 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-158-april-28-may-6.7944/

 

 

Number 1 outdoors - in the small Strathmore sketchbook with Micron 03 and watercolors.

Number 2 blue - jeans and shirts on a couple of patrons in the small regular Canson sketchbook with Micron 03 and colored pencil

 Number 3 face - some hints of faces on patrons and a singer. In the Canson sketchbook with Micron 03.

The Longhorns lost to Arkansas again so were swept in the weekend. The Horns "were" number 1 in the country.  First weekend series they have lost since joining the SEC, Southeastern Conference.  Here is yesterdays story:  https://www.secsports.com/news/2025/05/reese-robinetts-homers-fuel-no-11-arkansas-sweep-of-no-1-texas

Only two more weekends of regular baseball then the SEC tournament and the Regionals, Super Regionals and College World Series in Omaha.  Hook 'em Horns!

Last Landscape

Well, a teaser of sorts, it is the last sketch and landscape for this Hunt 157.  We were out on the porch almost all day, so did this quick sketch before baseball started.

 

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 157  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-157-apr-20-apr-28y.7933/

For the Hunt it is the bottom half of the page.  Number 5 landscape in the Conda Sketchpad with a Micron 03.  A little change in style as I sketch that view so often.

"Our" roadrunner went by so quickly that I couldn't actually sketch it.  It had something in its mouth and was really scootin' across the yard.  So from memory and a glimpse.  We have a pair of roadrunners that seem to hang around.  It is hard to get a photo.

The Longhorns won the game 6 -5 over the Aggies.  Yay!  Somehow they are number 1 in the country.  The team seems to have a real team connection.  They have players hurt and someone different seems to step up every game to save the day.  It must be hard as only a handful are from the team last year.  The others have come in from the portal and played at different schools last year.  One player is 17 and came from high school in his senior year to play baseball and football for Texas.  He missed his prom this weekend.  Anyhoo, it has been interesting.   Only watching on TV but still fun.  Hook 'em Horns!

More from the Porch

 What else?  When it is nice we sit on the porch.  The sketch was quick as Gene was restless and I couldn't get him to use the neck pillow and nap again.  

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 156  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-156-apr-12-apr-20.7924/

Number 1 trees - looking across the path.  I wanted to fill them in more but had to hurry too much.

The Longhorn Baseball team is  Number 1 in the SEC with a record over all of 29-5 and conference of 13-2.  Best start in ages.  Hope I don't jinx that.  They play UT Rio Grande Valley tonight in Austin.  Hook 'em Horns!

Cabrito on the Menu, but not Goat

Joanna picked up the Cabrito for our last get together.  We didn't need goat but we did need tequila.  We had never seen this brand.  I just had to sketch the bottle.  Comes in a bottle was on the list for Hunt 154.  Yay!

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 154  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-154-mar-27-ap-4.7882/

Number 5 comes in a bottle - Cabrito tequila.  It was/is pretty good for margaritas.  Fun for a sketch in the Conda Sketchpad with a Micron 03 and a red Micron 005.  I like doing glass in pastel, much easier to get a glass feeling.  This is pretty satisfactory for ink.

The Longhorns won the first of the three game series against the Georgia Bulldogs!,  Good start to the weekend!

The game Saturday, tomorrow, will be at 2:00 p.m. so we can watch and then go to The Bugle Boy to see and listen to our friend and neighbor, Libby Koch. Libby is great.  If you get a chance you can go to LaGrange or you can stream for a small charge. The non-profit will happily take larger donations.  :-)  A great way to keep live music in the area.  You might enjoy some of the other shows on most Friday and Saturday nights.

Effortless Sketching

Sketching is calling but my effort is not answering, so ... effortless.  I did finally sketch in the Conda Sketchpad with the Micron 03 yesterday morning very early.  I sketched the little tin with a Micron 03.  Today at my comfy chair I sketched on my iPad with the app, Brushes, looking over my shoulder at the shelf over the kitchen stove.  Lazy me....

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 154 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-154-mar-27-ap-4.7882/

Number 1, comes in a tin - an old tin from Big 12 Baseball.  Mints are probably desentegrating.

Number 2, brings back memory - the mugs, tins and more on the shelf in the kitchen over the stove.  I probably missed a few things.

Baseball

The Longhorns won the series in Missouri in a big way.  Lots of home runs and great plays.  There were a few injuries, hope not too serious. The substitute players did well though.  They had a double header yesterday as they expected weather today in Columbia, Missoouri, so no game today.  Next game is Tuesday night against Texas State in Austin.  We as a family can't lose as Joanna went to UT and Larry went to Texas State.  Hook 'em Horns!

 

 

Stuff Pastel Sketch

I put four items in my pastel sketch for the Scavenger Hunt.  I was pushed for time so only about 30-45 minutes wipe off to finish.  I wiped the cookies from the previous post.  I don't remember what kink of paper it is, about 9 x 12 inches in size.  About the fourth wipe off so holding up well!

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 153 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-153-mar-19-mar-27.7855/

Number 1 glass - a red one
Number 2 ceramic - cup gift from Joanna, not as bright red, white and blue.
Number 3 metal - pewter vase looks more silver in the sketch
Number 4 flower - felt ones from Kathy

I didn't take time to soften colors or work on background.  I did want to get a sketch done.

Here is my setup.  Didn't work much on shadows either.

The Longhorns play baseball against LSU tonight and the weekend in Austin at UFCU Disch Falk Field.    Looks like the weather will be good!  Hook 'em Horns!!

Sugary in Pastels and Green in Watercolor

I've been wanting to sketch Gene's sugar cookies that Brandon brought him.  They are so cute from the HEB grocery and made in Bee Caves, Texas.  He had already eaten the cowboy hat and sunflower, so decided I had better get with it.    Pastels are my favorite for texture and color so just wiped off an old sketch and did this one.  Very sketchy, only about 30 minutes start to finish.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 152  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-152-mar-11-mar-19.7829/page-2

Number 1 sugary - Gene's cookies made for our HEB grocery in Bee Caves, TX. About palm of your hand size, individually wrapped but I sketched minus the cellophane. Lazy. I couldn't resist sketching them but didn't want to open them. Gene had eaten the cowboy hat and sunflower.
Number 2 green - the cactus cookie

The cookies were/are so cute.  They are also good to eat I'm told.  No flour for me.

I forgot to post this.  I went to take the photo of the cookies and was sidetracked.  Imagine that.

Yesterday I sketched at PT.  I'm pretty sure I sketched this before.  I planned to sketch outside for "building" but it was so windy and ugly out there.  It looks so nice from the window, but ...

Number 3,  shamrock or plant - in the waiting area.

This is in the Ohuhu sketchbook with a Sharpie Pen that is about out of ink and added watercolor at home.   It is about 6 x 7 inches

I like that sketchbook so much.  I need to order another one.  It is Mix Media and the paper takes watercolor very well and markers if you don't get too heavy with them.  Smooth paper for ink as well.

Baseball Notes....

The Longhorn baseball game was irritating.  It went into the 11th inning, 4 and a half hours.  They played UT San Antonio Roadrunners in Austin.  It was very windy still at the 630 start and through the game.  I think each team had about 4 home runs that just blew out of the stadium.  The fielders had lots of fun trying to be in the right place.  The Roadrunners won, 8 - 7.  Hook  'em Horns!  (Maybe I didn't have on a Texas shirt and my earrings!!)

We still don't have TV in the living room so I watched on my iPad and Gene watched television in our bedroom.  Hopefully we will get a TV by the weekend.  Waiting on insurance, extended warranty.  I am also trying out YouTube TV so I can get the games, but it is not so good without a smart TV.  Have to use the AppleTV with the old TV in the bedroom.  We have DirecTV by satellite which is easy but don't have sports channels.  About $50 a month more to watch baseball.  Sigh...  I guess it is cheaper than going to the games but still the principal.  The Longhorn Network and the SEC Network are "free" if you have the sports package.  YouTube has sports but the SEC+ streaming is on ESPN streaming.  Complicated for this old gal.

Tree to Mode of Transportation

It was a nice day yesterday so when Gene was at PT I sat outside and sketched a big tree which I thought was on the list.  There was an old Crown Victoria parked there, rusty and gray, so I added that in.  I didn't make the front and back long enough.  That was from the era with big cars, the 70s maybe.  Gene had a Thunderbird at work and it was huge like a Cadillac.  

We came home and I had a cup from the coffee/crepe shop I found there in the same shopping center as PT Solutions.  I sketched that for "mug".  I decided to add color to the tree sketch and when I looked it up to see what number it would be I saw the "tree" was last Hunt.  Sigh.  There was however, mode of transportation and plants on this Hunt so made the sketch fit!

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 150  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-150-feb-23-mar-02.7777/
 

Number 2 plants and number 3 mode of transportation - in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Micron 03 and watercolor added at home.

Number 4 mug - my latte cup I saved from the new place in the shopping center with PT Solutions.  Tecúen, a coffee shop with crepes.  Coffee was good but they don't have low fat....In the big Strathmore watercolor sketchbook.  Pencil, watercolor, Micron pens, White gel pen ....Sketched at my footstool.

Baseball note:

Longhorns are at a tournament in Las Vegas.  They won their came against the Washington Huskies last night.  Final was Horns 10 and Huskies 9.  Starting pitchers did well the first Texas score was a home run by Jalin Flores in the 2nd and Huskies had a home run in the third.  Jalin had another home run at his next at bat in the 5th and then..... Horns had a big inning in the sixth with a 3 run homer and were up 9-1.  Craig and Keith were talking that with the 10 run rule in effect, the game was  out of sight or some such in the next inning and they could go to their hotel.  Then in the top of the 7th the Huskies made 6 runs including a grand slam with no outs. Texas got one run  back in the bottom.  Huskies got 2 more in the 8th and Texas held on.   It was interesting to say the least.  

They play Texas Tech tonight.  Rivals from the Big 12.  Hook 'em Horns.

 

Seashells in Ink

When the great-grandsons were here they picked up some seashells at the drying up lakes for me to sketch.  They put their treasures of rocks and shells in a plastic bag.  The  big shell was together but thin and broken edges.  I left it on top in the bag on the porch and then with wind it broke more.  The shell in the middle is together and all were full of dirt so put them on a napkin.   Maybe I should have washed them, eh?

 

For Scavenger Hunt 150 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-150-feb-23-mar-02.7777/

Number 1 seashell - I guess they are the same as seashells but are lake shells.

Baseball

The Longhorns won over Incarnate Word last night, 6-0.  They played in Austin at the Disch.  Roger Wallace and Keith Moreland called the game.  I was happy for that.  They were on the streaming and on the radio.  Guess they are cutting expenses for baseball so they can do more for football.  Ha.  We saw some good plays and the weather was good so there was a nice crowd.  We watched on the SEC streaming.  Hook 'em Horns!

 The Texas State Bobcats beat number one Texas Aggies in College Station.  Yay!!

Expensive Sketch

 "Expensive" was on the Scavenger Hunt list.  I thought of jewelry or a car.  Then it hit me.  My biggest expense on groceries this last purchase was eggs.  The bird flu really drove up the already inflated price.  I imagine the chicken growers will catch up and the price of eggs will come down.  Most mornings we have an egg sandwich so that is 2 eggs a day plus any hard-boiled ones for Gene to snack on.  I do not care for hardboiled eggs.  You can read about that here:  https://jocastilloartblog.blogspot.com/2020/08/no-hard-boiled-eggs-sketch.html

We use a fair amount of eggs for two people.  I also use eggs in baking and in complete breakfasts where the eggs are eaten with potatoes, sausage and chile or pancakes and waffles.  Very occasionally egg salad sandwiches.  For that there has to be a load of ingredients mixed in to cover the hard-boiled taste of the eggs.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 149  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-149-feb-15-feb-23.7749/

Number 4 expensive - eggs, these are in a half carton to keep the hard-boiled eggs separate from the raw ones.  In the large Canson Mix Media sketchbook with the Micron 03.  I was going to add color ... but ... It is a blue carton for your info. 

 

The temp is 32º now, weather app says it feels like 25º.  Brrrrrr.  I'm hoping this is the last of winter.  I warned you it would be cold for baseball.

Speaking of baseball,  the Horns play Dartmouth this weekend as mentioned.  They moved the games to noon on all three days.  I didn't catch the change so I missed yesterday's game.  The Horns won 4 - 3.  It was pretty darned cold.  It is drizzling now but imagine it will be clear and in the 40s by noon!  Hook 'em Horns!

Doorway Sketch

Another sketch with artistic license.  This time in the Conda Sketchbook with a Micron 03.  It was fast - about 10 minutes.

 

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 149  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-149-feb-15-feb-23.7749/

Number 3 doorway - from my studio to the living room - left out some of the "stuff"

It is still very cold so we will be staying in today.  Brrr.  It was 20º F this morning.  We are supposed to break warm records starting Monday.  Hard to wrap our heads around.  

I'm wondering about baseball.  It will be a tad warmer tomorrow but still under 40º and maybe rain on Saturday.  Dartmouth is the visiting team.  I'm sure when they made the "deal" they planned on warmish weather in central Texas.  

Spicy in a Digital Sketch

I sketched while listening to the baseball game.  I wanted color but in the evening the light isn't good by my chair so I played on the iPad.  I used the app, Brushes, because that is the one I use the most so don't have to "think" as much.

 For SHFL 149  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-149-feb-15-feb-23.7749/

Number 1 spicy - a jar of New Mexico Hatch chile.  New Mexico chile is so flavorful and yummy.

 

I listened to the Longhorn game again.  It was a long game. Over 4 hours I think so I had plenty of time to sketch.   Lots of batters on base with no scoring, then batters with scoring.  Final was 14-8, Horns won over Oklahoma State.  The Longhorns ended up winning the championship.  They had played in this tournament the last 3 years and lost all 3 of their games each year.  They lost the first game on Friday so we were worried.  10 games in a row lost there, yikes!  Luckily they won Saturday and Sunday.  Broke the curse or whatever it was.  Hook 'em Horns!  

First game here is Tuesday evening against Houston.  Dartmouth comes in for the weekend.  Temps are supposed to be nice today and tomorrow and then in the 30s for high the rest of the week.  I told you it always gets cold for baseball.  Dartmouth players will be so disappointed that it isn't in the 60s.  Texas weather.......

Almost forgot, Austin Pastel is holding their annual show.  Check it out on their website:
