All Stars ends!

Well the end of one season has been met. "S" was in All Stars through most of June and July. They were an inexperienced team who had a lot of growing to do. "S" did very well for being a 1st year 10 she even hung with most of the 2nd year 10's. She played a lot of 2nd base, and even short stop, and outfield.
She needs a rest, it was a very tough season with several games every weekend, and practices twice a week. She will take a break for a while, and maybe play some travelball starting in September.
"A" is drawing to the end of her travelball team the Renegades. We travel to Sacramento for the Nationals, and that will bring her season to a close. Her team has a very good chance at winning it all. We are very excited with the opportunity to play at the nationals. I plan on taking a lot of pictures. We will keep you updated.

14u tournament

'A' had a tournament this weekend, and her 12u team played in the 14u division.
They won 2 of 3 on Saturday, and went 1w and 1L on Sunday.
The win was exciting, considering the other team jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning the Renegades went 3 up, and 3 down in the first 3 innings and found themselves down 5-0. The girls finally got the timimng down of the pitcher ( who was slower then they were used to (46mph) they scored 3 runs, then 2 more. to tie the game up the last inning the opposing team did not score any runs, and The Renegades put 2 girls on base, and Asley hit a walk off hume run over the centerfield fence to win the game 8-5. It was very exciting to see them come back for a five run defecit to score a runs, and the win against a good 14u team ( Mystic)
Here are some pictures of the girls:

finished The streetbike

After lots of hours sanding and preping the tank and bodywork for the gs500, I finally laid down the clearcoat on top of the basecoat.put the bodywork on, took a few pictures, and took it for a ride.
It did not run well, so I took the carbs apart yet again, and found some debris in the bowls that glogges the fuel jets.
They have been cleaned, and the bike runs better now.
I think it looks pretty good.
