What is going on with these ref’s and umpires the last few years?

Feels as though much of major league sports is grinding to a halt with hyper sensitive referees and umpires and shit. Horrific missed calls, just blatant injection of themselves into the flow of the game, and drawing attention to themselves out of a perverse sense of narcissism. Think Angel Hernandez and MLB. People of that ilk that can blow up a game, or throw it in a teams favour by being outrageously awful. Why do we never hear of these officials getting reprimanded for these egregious outbursts, and blatant contempt for their role in the game. Boggles the mind. Blown calls are everywhere, NBA, MLB, NFL, you name it. Makes watching a rage inducing event. What a mess.

Today is Tuesday. Spent a good portion of yesterday chasing down quotes for my water softner issues. I had quotes from $1,700 all the way up to $4,000.00 plus change. I’m fairly certain I can buy a generic system from Home Depot, or some other big box store for around $1,000.00. I get that labour costs are a real thing, but some of these quotes were outrageous. Right now I have the system shut off, so atleast there should be no more floods for a bit. I can get the salty brine stains cleaned up, and have the dehumidifier pull all that excess moisture out of the sub floor. It never ends.

I think I’m going to do some limb clearing in a moment. Ice storms, and heavy snows broke a whole bunch of branches off my Lilac trees in the back yard. Best go cut that down, and keep the grass cleared of debris. No point having dead patches that last all summer long. Will need to sort out the droop in our back deck this year too. One of the pilings is sinking. Gotta give it a good think. Peace out.
