I came in this morning and got a sample run started, and the cooling process seemed to work fine, the needle valve didn't seem to get clogged, and everything seemed to be in order. The only way we'll see how things go is with time and just letting things run and seeing if anything else comes up that doesn't seem right. We'll know a lot more when I go back in the morning as to whether everything is working well depending on how the temperature control holds and keeping that vacuum chamber sealed. There was promise, however, and it certainly helped to make today a good day.
Tomorrow is the Cedar Bluff Middle School B team's first actual game, and I will be coaching them, with the other two coaches taking the A game that is running along-side it. I have a feeling it's going to be a problem getting them to understand positioning and not chasing the ball. In all honesty, a lot of it looks like some very young age AYSO soccer with the way everyone just clumps up around the ball and ball-watches. So getting them to play positions for 70 minutes will probably be quite difficult. We'll just have to wait and see. I haven't worked with the B team for the past week, so maybe they've gotten some things worked out in those couple practices. Here's hoping.
The Champions League tournament in Europe had some good games the past two days. It was leg one of the 2 leg home and away series that will be completed next Tuesday and Wednesday. Liverpool demolished PSV Eindhoven 3-0 away from home, virtually guaranteeing themselves a place in the semi-finals. The winner between those two teams will play the winner of the Chelsea-Valencia tie which has to be advantage Valencia after they managed a 1-1 draw away from home. In the other half of the bracket, AC Milan and Bayern Munich played an exhilarating 2-2 draw giving the advantage to Bayern as they were the away team. Bayern scored the tying goal with 10 seconds left in injury with virtually the last kick of the game. 10-man Manchester United lost 2-1 to AS Roma away from home, where the away goal could prove to be a vital lifeline. Next week will bring the conclusion of these ties, and move everyone one step closer to the final.
Today's riddle is named "Seven". Philip had the correct answer to yesterday's, although I'll leave it to you to decide whether it was coffee or cocaine which was the correct answer.
There are seven parts to this riddle,
Each is part of a greater whole.
You see most of these,
Everyday as you please:
First is what I did to a book yesterday,
Second mixes with apples.
Third is a shout, then "ouch" you say,
Fourth shares the sound of mean.
Fifth is what the wind had done,
The sixth is often skipped.
The last and final can be called by two names,
If roses are this, then which is the blue one?

no, paul, not at all. i actually didn't even consider that until just now, although your answer is correct. maybe it was subliminal since I heard people talking about San Francisco a lot the day before...
