We are the Champions!

The Monsoons had an excellent undefeated season. The season came to an end last night with the Monsoons taking home the title. The Monsoons had a stunning victory over Team Shake'n'Bake 8-4. Todd scored within the first five minutes putting the Monsoons on top, he had one more goal in him. Mike had two goals in the first half creating a cushion, Scott had two goals, Jeff one, and Mimi who all season has been in the right place and the right time but could never finish finally got her first goal. It was a good game, team shake'n'bake tried very hard, but just could not overcome the highly skilled and talented Monsoons. The second half was very aggressive, shake'n'bake was frustrated and played rough. Later after the game I found out that number 26 on their team actually played wide receiver for ASU and plays for the Denver Broncos. To be honest with you, he was not faster than any of us, he was not in shape, he was just big. When he ran he sounded like a bull and had a brain like one too. Mike Horn checked on of the other players into the glass wall almost creating a fight. Fans could hear the players face hitting the wall and him saying, "You do that one more time I will kick your butt (the other word)." Scott has everyones back and shoved him in the chest exclaiming that this is soccer and if he can't handle it get off the field. After that moment team shake'n'bake unleashed their fury of aggressiveness, but it was all for naught....It's nice being champions and to make us feel good we get CUPS for taking home the title. In two weeks a new season begins hopefully better teams sign up.

2 Buy or Not 2 Buy?

We own one car, a 1998 Chevy Prizm that is limping along. The good thing is that it has A/C, but we do not trust this car to travel any farther past Phoenix. The struts are all shot, it feels like we are riding on airbags just bouncing for five minutes after we hit a small bump. Our 58 pound dog put so much pressure on the back left window it will not roll up if we roll it down. The dog is too big for the back seat and is always wanting to come up front. His hair is everywhere in the car. When we have unfortunate souls in the back seat we have to let them out because the handles in the back have all broken off. The passenger in the front seat has to wait for the driver to open their door because that handle has broken off. If by some weird reason the door is locked the driver must unlock the car from the passenger, open the back door reach over and across to the drivers door to unlock that door. The front headlamp is missing a piece and falls backwards blinding the drivers infront of us at night. I am sure the list continues...but you get the idea.

I am in the young men's and we do a lot of camping, one campout per month, and it would be nice to take my own car. Let me introduce to you our ideas: Honda Element or Nissan Xterra. I am leaning towards the Element, because I like the idea that we can wash our car out with a hose after a camping trip or river kayaking. The interior is mostly waterproof making it ideal for getting dirty. It is a 4 cyclinder, but better gas mileage than the Xterra.

Let me know what you guys think? Oh and check out this page to see the Element. http://www.azpayless.com/

Why another Blog you ask?

I started this blog to tell the other side of the story. My wonderful wife started a blog which is under www.teamhorn07.blogspot.com. I wanted to tell the readers what is going on with my side of the story. The details do vary between the two blogs, (www.mikesradblog.blogspot.com, and www.teamhorn07.blogspot.com). Please enjoy, and have fun reading whatever will come next.
