Hat Trick for Hacksaw!


The July 7th game featured a one sided meaningful contest that was caused by 3 pretty women in the stands cheering for their men.  Wendy, Cindy O, and Ericka Z had the Blue team flying. Berzerk, Uncle Bob and Tommy were skating as if their women had promised them favors for goals.  Uncle Bob scored 6 while Tommy and Mazurk had 4 or 5 more.  The line of Beak Boris and Doc only got into the zone 4 times all night.  3 of those times, Hacksaw beat Stump for a Hat Trick.  The 4th time, Koss fired a desperation pass from his own goal line to beak at the blue line, who deflected it to Drano at the red line for a break away goal.  The Blues won the meaningless game, 10 or 12 to 5.
Thanks to Hacksaw, and The Anvil, the Whites won the meaningful contest 3-0.
The following e-mail was sent out to all E-Duffers last week:
Uncle Bob scores 6: puts Anvil in possible retirement! Goalie equipment for sale, cheap, like new, hasn't been hit often (puck keeps missing equipment, shows up in net) A new white duffer jacket with #72 on it might entice goalie back between pipes.

Duffer Summer
Tour De Duffers
Frank talks Beak and Hacksaw into a 20 mile bike hike on the Illinois and Michigan canal.
We are now 10 miles away from the beer cooler, so let's turn around and head back.

 Hacksaw stops to smell the roses before heading back.
20 miles is just right, the beer is still cold. Just in case you are wondering, Beak is wearing his old Stan Mikita helmet.

Beak was so tired after the Tour De Duffers, he had to put his grand sons to work for him.
Duffer GODs, Jeff and Mike, painted the shed and garage doors.

 Beak got help for his garden from a pair of hawks !
Rabbits and squirrels have all vanished. 

 Watching Jeff pitch Keeps Beak from working too hard in the summer.
When Jeff doesn't have a game, Amanda does.



 

What are we going to do after everything is painted, little league is over, the Jimmy Buffett concert is just a memory and the August 4th summer skate is through?  Get ready for the Persied Meteor shower on August 11-12.  All you have to do is find a nice dark spot on the satellite image above and go there.  Watch the sky in the north east for shooting stars. 

Let's go to Wally World in Florida!  Since Wally bought homes in Charleston SC and Florida, he has been hit by hurricanes twice in each location. What are the odds?  That should be the safest place on earth now!  Let's go to Wally World for the Persied meteor shower!

What a Summer!
