Good Sam Emergency Road Service

Posted last year, at the end of July.
Filed in: , , ,

We had a tire blow out on the freeway last month on Roch’s new dump trailer. Les Schwab came to our rescue in the middle of nowwhereville - I won’t have my tires serviced anywhere else - ever! But I realized that road side assistance would have been great and I’ve been worried about each trailer we haul since that incident.

My mom highly recommends Good Sam (she hates AAA). At $99 a year, emergency road service is an easy investment. I bought the service through Camping World’s website because they gave me a $10 merchandise coupon. Whoo-hoo!

Here are a few of the must-have road services that Good Sam offers. There are more goodies that come with this service, but these are the most likely ones (all FREE):

  1. Emergency Towing
  2. Flat Tire Changes
  3. Lock-out Service
  4. Fuel Delivery

We’re taking a trip to central Montana just East of Helena for my nephew’s swim meet. He placed third in divisionals, so he should do well at State. We camped right next to the city pool last weekend in Cut Bank. We’ll do the same thing this weekend - but with the Good Sam.

Softball Season is Approaching

Posted last year, mid-April.
Filed in: ,

This season for softball starts at the end of May. Roch plays on a team in Darby, MT. I bought a scorebook so I can refresh my memory about the game. I like to keep score. Baseball/softball isn’t really that fun just to watch, so keeping score makes it fun for me.

There are some terms in this book that I don’t know. Like what is a sacrifice or a fielder’s choice? Roch just told me that a balk is a term for “pitcher fake-out” (he winds, but doesn’t throw - something like that, I forget the details).

The most difficult part of scorekeeping is remembering the field position numbers. For example, the pitcher’s position is number one, while the first base position is number three. Kind of confusing. I also need to remember that in baseball, runs are scored - not points.

The scorebook I bought has a spot for 16 players. The teams play 10 on the field with usually two back-up players that rotate in. But I’m glad to have the extra room in case we have more than 12 players (hopefully not). Also, I can use the extra room to doodle.

I hope I learn what all the symbols and abbreviations mean so that I can tally up the player’s stats. Then I can make little baseball cards for them. That would be fun. :)
