First game seat, right behind the bench

Big win over Southern

Oh my, we can only download a few at a time, I'll keep at it, maybe I'll get down before the football game is over......carry on

More shots from the end zone

My comp ticket courtesy of Coach Bluder had me behind the bench, but not a good spot to shoot pictures. So, I moved to the end zone, from the familiar spot I used to shoot from in Carver Hawkeye Arena. The thumbnail photos are so small, I hope I chose some good ones to post. carry on

It's Great to Be a Hawkeye

A few shots from the Championship Game vs Arkansas State, in Corpus Christi, TX.

USS Lexington, Corpus Christi, Texas

was docked just to the east of my motel, so I walked over to check it out. The pathway was not good, about four feet wide and it looked like an old jetty that has suffered a lot of damage from big waves. Quite a site to see after the ball games.I wish I had driven over for a nightime shot, but you know us winter Texans, can't miss happy hour........carry on

Trying again to post photos

that was fun.......must be the lousy internet hook up in the park. Well, what's been going on? Work started Nov 1 with a surprise, I am not working with the Rio Metro group cleaning their for sale and rental units. I am getting the apartments ready for the renters. 10 apartments, almost done getting them cleaned. On Nov 12 I drove to Corpus Christi, about 150 miles north. The Iowa Hawkeye women were in town for a two day basketball tournament. The Hawkeyes won easily over Southern University, 24 points. Second game vs. Arkansas State was rough. Ark St could not run with the Hawkeye women, so they took 15-20 seconds off the clock before running a play. I am glad they were poor shooters. Iowa won the 530 pm championship game with 13 Hawk fans in attendance, out of about 25 fans in the stands. No ceremony to present the trophy. Thanksgiving Day was spent with Marian, Milo and Denny, my family from Cedar Falls, Iowa. A big plate of food was too much for me. I am not used to eating that much food at that time of the day. I sat outside, did some puzzles and took an hour nap, followed by an hour in the swimming pool and spa.
I had to work on Black Friday, but headed to Harlingen at 1 pm. Getting in and out of Target was a piece of cake, I picked up 5 items, none on my list of sale items. I then drove through the parking lot to Kohl's. I found my two items, then found the end of the line, about 150 people. Kohls did not get any money from me. I went to Academy Sports today to see if they marked down that three wheel bicycle, nope! Guess Christmas shopping is done, unless there are some more big sales coming up. Will try to load more photos, maybe one at a time.....carry on
