The Aussies have put the screws to the POMEs and are up 2-nil in the best of 5. The Third test for the Ashes is on this weekend! England
MUST win or be embarrassed at home. The injuries and strain of 2 test matches will start to show.

The Rugby Championship starts for the Southern Hemisphere Teams and the British F-1 Grand Pris is this weekend. A YUGE weekend of sport.

Enjoy This Open.

I got nothin’, yinz. Maybe some UFOs to distract us?

It’s vacation season and, well…lots of OT for me.

Enjoy this open.

The Ashes Test #2 starts at 0600 on the 28th. The Aussies beat the POMEs in test #1. This will be at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, ‘The Home of Cricket’. Mrs Coldwarrior and I have a visit to Lord’s CG on our bucket list, we want one of these Baskets.

The Ashes, The US Open, My Dad’s Father’s day golf outing 2023 open

Firmly ensconced in Papap Coldwarrior’s Garagemahal for the Father’s Day golf outing on Saturday. My first practice round will already be underway at 5am after this posts. The Competition, play, and steaks will be Saturday. I’ll let yins know the result.

The US Open starts Thursday AM in CA at the Los Angeles C.C. (that’s Country Club for yinz non golfers, n’at). The LACC has never hosted a major. hell, they never host anything. DO they deserve The Open? No. They don’t. This was a bullshit move by the USGA. CC’s (Country Clubs) worth their salt work to get the Open…Oakmont, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Bethpage, Shinnecock, Oakmont…yeah, I said Oakmont twice because it is the nastiest, hardest, most unforgiving course in the world. And that is what the Open is. I hope the LACC doesn’t fail like what happened at the unprepared 2017 Open (learn how to cut the grass and attend to the patrons).

And now THIS: The Ashes 2023. The Aussies just dismantled the Indians in test cricket in England for the World Test Championship. No mean feat! Now the Aussies stay in England to continue The Ashes Series. The Aussies hold the Ashes and England must win outright over the summer. The last wickets will be at the end of July at The Oval. It’s a brutal best of 5 Test. If yinz get a chance to look at it, DO! It starts Saturday.

This is an Open.

The kids are enjoying their first real day of summer break. Naps and lounging are the order of the day.

First day of summer vacation was always my favorite day of the year.
