Owens' final game of the season was last night. That's him in the upper left. They played a friendly with the 15-16 year old kids in their league. It was a fun game and the older kids were great with the little guys. There were a few gloves off faux battles that the crowd loved. It was a good time. Owen is thinking about sitting out the spring and summer season and giving soccer a shot. His Dad, who still plays hockey in the same league, is a bit miffed. His Mom, though, likes the idea. The cost of soccer equipment versus hockey equipment is a no brainer. Soccer gear, even with a ball, fits in a shopping tote bag. Owens' hockey gear bag is as big as him.
Other good news, Mrs. Cheesy's is now cancer free. She still has to do radiation treatments, but those should be a walk in the park. I had the surgery on my ankle a week ago. A plate and 5 screws on my fibula and a plastic anchor on my deltoid ligament. I guess I also tore that during the unpleasantness last month. I've just been slightly useless around the house.
I have managed to get out to the garage via my knee scooter the last couple of days. I was able to get the 90 year old lathe bolted to the bench and started to go through it. It takes a bit longer to get things done but just getting out of the house is worth it. It's cold and crappy today, so no garage time. Maybe we'll go see Dune this afternoon.
