Wow, this is going to be a week without footbag for me.
I took off on Tuesday because I needed to recover from hard shred on Sunday, as well as tiredness from being out of routine and travelling etc.
Today, one of my usual footbag days, my paving contractor is putting in my basketball court, parking area, and digging out the old concrete path to my front door. Which means, I'll be overseeing the job, and working on the walk project (he's doing the digging and site prep, I'm then installing a drainage system [water from the yard collects at the walk, and I'll be running the gutter downspouts into the system as well]). So, I will be in no shape to kick tonight.
Fridays I take off.
Saturday, with the court ready, I'll be mixing concrete for the basketball pole system. Then, I'll finish the walk project (which will entail completing the install of the drainage system, spreading pea gravel over that system, and putting down stepping stones over top of the pea gravel). Even if I have the energy to play after all that (unlikely), I'll need to spend time with the kids because they'll be going ape by that point.
Sunday, we have family in town.
Monday is my usual off day.
Back to playing Tuesday.
The following weekend, install the hoop!!!!
west of philly - bob
The driveway/basketball court area is awesome!! Cement for hoop this weekend hopefully (if weather permits) Then hoop up the next weekend. Can't wait!
And, the parking area is sweet as hell too. Ordered the gravel for the path. Will hopefully have that project complete this weekend as planned.
New roof going on in about a week or two.
House is almost done! (as "done" as a 100 year old house can be at least)

What Celtics game did you see?
Oh, and I'm not sure if you've seen this yet or not, but I thought it was cool:

Ha ha, thanks for posting that vid. I think it's from 2003, what I previously called the peak of my game. That's Kenny and Josh Benham giving me props.
I say "previously called the peak of my game" because I just now realize that although I had more spring in my step then, I'm much more both sided and balanced now. So that's kind of cool that at 31 I'm better than when I was in my twenties.
And I think in the near future, I'll be much better than I was then. Cool!
------
Well, today, I am more tired and sore than I think I've ever been in my entire life. Maybe after I had heart surgery I was more sore. Maybe after hell week in high school basketball? But it's close. I poured concrete, cut railroad ties, dug trenches, laid pipe, and move 3 tons of gravel. All in all, it was a 13 hour day with minimal breaks. I ran out of stone so I have to move some gravel next weekend too, but that's small potatoes comparatively.
Next weekend, finish moving gravel, touch up the edges of my path, backfill the trenches, rebuild my gates (the path is higher now so the gate needs to be smaller so it doesn't bind up), and install my basketball hoop.
Then, I am done for the spring and summer.
I'm so sore in every part of my body. It literally hurts to type. Though you can't tell because I just typed a lot.

It's always a great when you realize you are better now than you were before, even though you aren't as young and springy as you used to be.
Are you expecting your neighbors to attack you with mustard gas?Rieferman wrote: ------

heh heh heh... 4 different neighbors stopped by to marvel at all the work we've done on the house.
The trenches etc. is to take rain water away from the house and into a gulley. The gravel path allows all water to run through into a pipe, and the pipe also connects to our gutter downspouts. Then the pipe runs out of the path area through a trench and ultimately the pipe in the trench lets out at the gulley. So, before the water (3-4 inches was building up during storms) has a chance to just sit and work its way into foundation of the house, it will find it easier to go through the pipe and out where I want it to go. I've learned a lot about hydrostatic pressure at this house.

The hoop is up! And it is awesome.
I remember my basketball hoop growing up - you'd hit the backboard with the ball, hear a dull thud, and the ball would drop basically straight down. Not a realistic rebound, and not the best way to practice bank shots.
My new hoop has a tempered glass backboard (same as in a gym) so you have very realistic rebounds and accurate bank shot play. And the rim is pro style, very rigid and true to what you'd find in the gym. Couldn't be more pleased.
To be finished with the court, I just have to install the light on the hoop (light hangs way above the court so you can play at night.. or play footbag at night! ha ha), paint the free throw line and 3-point line (btw, college 3 point line is extending a foot next year, but I will paint the current distance since that's what you'll continue to find at YMCA's etc. for a long time, and that's what you'll see in high school forever), and use asphalt patch to clean up around the hole that holds the pole.
The whole hoop is prefectly plumb and level. And I mean perfectly. Super solid. Well positioned on the court. The project went as well as I could have hoped.
---------
So, I played footbag on Tuesday but not at all the rest of the week. And I won't play this weekend while I complete the front walk/drainage project.
The good news is that when I played on Tuesday, I played well. It's funny how playing really hard with another shred crew (in this case, my recent session in Boston) allows you to learn so much about your game, and make immediate improvements. I was so much better at all sorts of nuances on Tuesday as a result of that recent session.
The bad news is that I'm feeling like a fat ass right now. I know it's not really true, but during extremely hard projects like I'm working through now, my caloric intake is waaay higher than usual. And water and beer intake is waaaay higher too. And I'm just not on my normal rhythm/schedule.
The good news is that by end of weekend, I'm done with all my projects for the summer, so as of Monday I can be back on the schedule that I love for the rest of the year. And I can play hoops as well as footbag, which is great.
-----
I love the hoop. I don't know if I can adequately express what basketball means to me. I literally spent in excess of 4 hours per day from age (say) 11 through 19 shooting baskets, playing pickup, being on the team etc. It's therapy for me to just knock down shot after shot. And the flow and coordination that I have on a basketball court is something I cherish - I'm really looking forward to having that back.
Side note: I have a mini-pipe-dream of trying to be able to dunk the ball again. Just once and I'll be happy. I think it's unrealistic (I was never a terrific dunker), but I'm going to work at it a little bit.

Soooooooooooooo tired. But, I'm done. Hoop is completely done, including painted lines, light, everything. Path and drainage completely done. Just have to put my tools away, but I think Meg's going to do that for me because I can barely move. It all turned out really well. I even played a game of 1 on 1 with my 12 year old nephew. I went easy on him, but didn't let him win. Rest tomorrow, rest Monday, back to normal routine and footbag on Tuesday.
Bob R.
Played about 15 minutes of basketball last night under the light - it's literally like playing in daytime the light is so bright and well positioned. I can definitely play night time footbag under it without any shaddow issues.
Speaking of footbag (since this is a footblog afterall)... I am so extremely happy to be done with all my projects, and to be done with them right at the start of amazing spring and summer weather! Tomorrow night after work will be my first session in my next phase of footbag push. I'm right on the cusp of having so many things go well with footbag, and I can vary up my workouts with hoops now too. Tomorrow, I'm back on the horse, and (barring injury!) I won't have to get off the horse again this year.
edit: to lend some weight to why I'm so happy about being done with my projects >>> I've been working just about non-stop on home rennovations for two houses (my previous home and now this one) for the past 5 years. We're talking $50K in home improvements, where 70% of the work has been done by myself (and I mean myself... had help from others for about 5% of what I've completed). I have:
at old place
- gutted back yard, installed patio and fence, sod, raised flower beds, tree planting, outdoor speakers and electric
- painted every square inch of house
- refinished kitchen cabinets, replaced counter top and sink, put down pergo floor
- put down pergo floor in both bedrooms
- gutted bathroom (walls, ceiling, sink, floor) and completely refinished including electrical
- tons of other misc. tasks
- (note: all that work allowed us to sell for $60K profit in under 2 years, therefore allowing us to get the next house)
at current place:
- Rebuilt the porch including building and installing railings and framing out one side to hold a screen door, enclosed it, screened it in
- Installed fire pit and surrounding patio area
- Installed split rail fence over about .25 acres
- Leveled area, built retaining wall, installed jungle gym
- Replaced all flooring in the house (hired this out)
- Refinished kitchen cabinets
- Removed horrible fake stone wall in kitchen, replaced with wainscotting and stucco. Also re-did hearth in stone tile and installed barnwood mantel.
- Cleaned out years of junk from barn, strengthened weak areas of barn with framing and posts as needed
- Finished attic into office and guest room. Hired out the carpet portion of this job.
- Split 2nd floor into 3 bedrooms instead of previous 2 bedrooms (hired out wall install and electrical, did finish work, trim, painting myself)
- All sorts of landscaping including hiring out the installation of a french drain system in the yard to keep yard nice and dry.
- Painted literally every square inch of the interior of the house
- Hired out the installation of a 2-zone central AC/Heating installed (from scratch, needed all vents installed etc.)
- There’s more I’m sure, but those are some of the major ones.
- Hired out paving behind the barn for basketball court. Poured concrete and installed hoop myself. Painted 3 point line and free throw line myself.
- Hired out to have parking area graded and covered in gravel. Re-did my walkway with drainage system, river stone, flagstone stepping stones. I moved about 7 tons of material for this job.
- Next week, our roofer is coming out to replace old tin roof that is ready to fail any time now.
- Note: I acted as general contractor and was involved in design aspect for all the stuff I hired out
So yeah, I'm really glad to be done. Enough house stuff, let's talk about footbag.

Thanks Pete! I did last night
It was so fun to play last night. It had been about a week or more, and over the last two weeks I've done so much manual labor. And for the last 5 years I've had constant background "noise" and stress from projects I've been working on. So it was such a relief to play without weight on my shoulders (psychological weight, as well as real weight that I've lost in the last couple months).
Nothing ground breaking, just good shred with less bops. Nice string length, clean dexes, good posture. Can't wait to play again on Thursday night. And then on Saturday and Sunday like I was doing before. Yeah! An entire summer of this!!

Fun night last night.
Got home from work and went out to the barn to kick. It's nice and warm here now, so I was able to take down the shred tent walls - this makes it feel much more open to kick. I also was able to open up all the barn doors and windows and get a nice breeze inside.
I played strong. All my stepping set tricks are really coming along nicely. For example, I can now hit ducking straight into blur even on my weakside. Or, paradon > ripwalk. etc. In other words it's not always necessary to set up with a butterfly.
I seem more aware of minute movements that help a trick. Like the subtle outward movement on pixie and stepping, or slight inward movement on atomic, or aiming the set for paradon at the inside of my knee so the dex is really full.
My one new thing yesterday: weakside gyro mirage. Not only did I hit this for the first time, I hit it about a dozen times out of about 20 tries.
After kicking, I watched bedtime TV with Keegan, and gave him his bath. Then, my wife had given me the go ahead to go play horse shoes with a buddy from work and all his friends. All my guy friends are back in CT and long gone from my life, so it was really fun to pal around with a group of cool guys and have a couple beers.
And now it's Friday and beautiful weather out. And I have no projects to work on this weekend.

Sunday, I played with Brian at the YMCA. I like Brian, but I enjoy playing solo or with other shredders more than with him. It's not that he's not good (because he is good.. as good as me, or better in certain ways) it's just weird sort of. Like he has no clue what any tricks are named. And he doesn't even really recognize new or different moves. Like when I hit haze for the first time, I don't really care if he knows the name of the trick, but it would be cool if he recognized that a triple dex is sweet. Because of that lack of knowledge, I have very little incentive to bust anything really great in front of him. And I can't challenge him to hit new things because he literally has no idea what I'm saying if I tell him to hit "Paradon > blur > atomic mirage" even though all three tricks are tricks he hits on command. And although I've taught him 10 times what I'm talking aobut, he cannot retain it. It's really very odd.
edit: And besides there being no peaks and valleys of excitement in the sessions (like you usually find in a circle of players that are similarly skilled and know each others' games), Brian spends the moments in between his turns juggling, or doing hand stands, or jumping rope, or something. Yeah, so it's basically like playing solo with a player that's as good as me standing a few feet away, but that player has the knowledge and interest level of my wife (aka, no knowledge, and no interest).
So, I think I'll kick with Brian once in awhile, but otherwise, the sessions are so frustrating it's better use of my time to play solo.
Damn, I'm a picky jerk in my old age.
So, on Saturday, I was being nice to my wife (who's job it is this year to clean porch for the season) by scraping the paint off the front step and entry area to porch (step needs scraped each year). Unfortunately, I found that the entry area that I'd hoped would have one more year in it until it needed replacing, was too badly rotten. So my project-less weekend turned into 5 hours worth of jacking up the roof to the porch, ripping out old porch boards, and installing new ones. They're all tongue and groove, so getting them to sit just right is a pain in the butt. But, I got 'er done, and now our porch is in good shape for the next long time.And I have no projects to work on this weekend.

Props on haze!
As for playing with Brian, it might be worth explaining to him at the start of your next session that you find it distracting when he does other stuff while you play. The fact of the matter is that it's straight up rude, but if you tell him nicely that you find it distracting, he may pay more attention to your runs.
Many times when you play with other people, you have to get yourself in the right mindset. If the other person doesn't pump you up or challenge you, you can still use them as a means of pacing yourself. Like, use them to get into a playing rhythm yourself, expecting to get the bag back every minute or so.

I really don't think he gets it. I've literally told him "I'm not going to kick with you again until you know the names of the tricks that you hit in your runs" >> to be fair, his runs are mostly ripwalks, blurs, ducking clippers, and bops. So it's not like I'm asking him to learn a list of tricks as long as Jorden's list of tricks. Just basic stuff so we can actually talk intelligently about the game and help each other improve. He was unable (unwilling) to do it. I swear, he doesn't know what a "stepping set" is. And trying to explain the difference between stepping and blurry is like talking quantum physics. He has no idea that pixie paradon is different than paradon. And yet he can hit guiltless for 10 contacts on a regular basis. shrug.
I'll ask him to give me a challenge, and he can't even come up with anything. I'm not sure if he can't think of anything, or if he doesn't know how to verbalize it.
In any case, I *do* like Brian, I'm not trying to say anything like that. TOTALLY nice guy that I'll continue to be friends with. Skilled player too. But, it's impossible to get pumped for a session with him. So it just makes more sense to kick with him very sparingly, or in situations when something else in the environment makes it fun to play (e.g. playing in a public setting where a crowd will interact with me).
-----------
Ian! You and Jake should road trip here! C-Fan! That offer still stands! The hoop is ready for my domination of you in basketbally (and then you can redeem yourself by dominating me in shred).
Ha ha.. It's so much easier to receive visitors than to be the visitor when you have 2 kids under the age of 3.
