Austyn has a ball tournment in Perkins this weekend...
Tournament info: There are 7 teams in this tournament. It is 3 guaranteed games. 2 games on Saturday and at least 1 on Sunday. The only rule change from what we are currently playing is that a dropped 3rd strike is an out.
Playing Times: We will play at 9:30 and 12:30 on Saturday. Where we will be seeded in the Sunday bracket and what time we play on Sunday will be determined by how we play on Saturday. They will let me know Saturday evening what time our first game is on Sunday and I will communicate that to you ASAP by phone and email.
The overall first game on Sunday will be at 10:00, with each subsequent game an hour ½ after the start of the previous game.
I do not know if we will play at 10:00 or not. What I do know is that we will play on Sunday until we lose, so be prepared to be out there all day.
Please be at the fields 30 minutes before the game so we can get warmed up and be ready to play at the start time.
Location:
Quick word of warning. The City of Perkins is having their "Old Settlers/Harvest Day Parade" on Main street starting at 9:00.
I am giving you the back door directions to the fields. The Perkins fields are located about a mile South of Highway 33, down Old Perkins Road. The directions I have been given are: (1) Go south on 177 to Highway 33. (2) Continue South on Perkins Road (It is the scary looking road with the Casino Sign just to the West of the 177-33 Intersection). (3) Go South about 2 miles, to the 2nd left (128th Street/Knipe St.) and turn left (or East). (4) Continue East, less than a mile.
Fields are on the north side of the street, at top of the hill.

the other news of yesterday..... and it was great news...
I was toddling away at my desk, or is it toiling away... ha ha.. either will work as it makes it sound like I was working.. and heard someone come through the door talking about Jake Moffat and wondering how to get hold of him and then there was a pause and one says ... wow... I know, there is Jake's Dad.. ha ha... and it was our dear friend Jerry Payne, Lead Guitarist for No Justice! Wow it was great to see him and of course I gave him Jake's information... and he was even more fired up. It seems they were putting a Jam together at Eskimo Joes in Stillwater and he wanted Jake in it... Jerry was there to help another young local artist master his CD project, so I texted Jake in excitement never expecting to hear back.. those of you who know Jake know what I am talking about.. but within SECONDS there was an answer... YES WHEN.... so last night Mrs. Moffat's very musically talented baby boy went in to Stillwater to Eskimo Joe's and Jammed with a bunch of local Stillwater artists.
As a father, I am very proud of Jake getting back on his horse and riding again. It was a BIG step and his Mom and I realize this. What is even bigger is the talent he has inside and hopefully this will lead to his sharing it with the world in a much bigger way. No matter the outcome.. this was a huge first step. I have not heard about the night, but hopefully will by end of this day...
Meanwhile, big things just keep happening with work. Greg and I now have many diverse music businesses we have put together and they are starting to fly on their own. We have Flatland Recording Studio for artists to record their works, Flatland Entertainment to book artists through working with some from venues to film and advertisements and beyond, GP Management to offer management, guidance and advice to bands who are serious about where they want to be, Tough Records to offer a label to our artists and it is becoming the talk of the Southwest USA music world as we are doing all things electronic from contracts to promotion, and we are working on our MIU which we are developing as MIUonline as a school for musicians and artists who want to truly know and understand the music business and we are developing a publishing side for print and hopefully a regional magazine for OK Music, and a music publishing company for working with just OK artists, plus Payne County Line Promotions... and for those who have not heard, I am also part of Premier Auctions of Oklahoma, along with my longtime friend Bob Priess. Just wanted to share with you that I really do work.. haha... in spite of what you hear.

Austyn Lee Moffat, performing his new hit original song "Isabella" with his instructor Jesse of the band Kuneck, from Stillwater
at the first Daddy'Os Jam last night in Downtown Stillwater. Greg and I proudly gave each student an hour of Flatland Recording Studio time to come in and lay down their song to cd and have it to keep forever, and there were many excited kiddos, and even parents at this idea.
All in all, there is some great talent among the students and I am sure that in 5 to ten years, many of these will be heading or in bands performing around the area... It was a great thing that Mike did for them to open up Daddy'Os for this Jam. It took a lot of work and he did GOOOOOOOODDDDDDD>>>>>>!
But in the end... Austyn did a great job! He sang his song while playing his guitar and Jesse played along... Austyn wrote it and Austyn and Jesse collaborated on the musicial arrangement. Grandma and I were very proud of him. He will be a rocker some day before long... keep those hits coming Austyn, and thank you Jesse for sharing your life with youngsters so they can learn from among the best there is... you rock!

Morose that there hasn't been another terrorist attack on American soil for seven long years, liberals were ecstatic when Hurricane Gustav was headed toward New Orleans during the Republican National Convention last week. The networks gave the hurricane plenty of breaking-news coverage -- but unfortunately it was Hurricane Katrina from 2005 they were covering.
On Keith Olbermann's Aug. 29 show on MSNBC, Michael Moore said the possibility of a Category 3 hurricane hitting the United States "is proof that there is a God in heaven." Olbermann responded: "A supremely good point."
Actually, Olbermann said that a few minutes later to some other idiotic point Moore had made, but that's how Moore would have edited the interview for one of his "documentaries," so I will, too. I would only add that Michael Moore's morbid obesity is proof that there is a Buddha.
Hurricane Gustav came and went without a hitch. What a difference a Republican governor makes!
As many have pointed out, the reason elected officials tend to neglect infrastructure project issues, like reinforcing levees in New Orleans and bridges in Minneapolis, is that there's no glory when a bridge doesn't collapse. There are no round-the-clock news specials when the levees hold. You can't even name an overpass retrofitting project after yourself -- it just looks too silly. But everyone's taxes go up to pay for the reinforcements.
Preventing another terrorist attack is like that. There is no media coverage when another 9/11 doesn't happen. We can thank God that President George Bush didn't care about doing the safe thing for himself; he cared about keeping Americans safe. And he has, for seven years.
If Bush's only concern were about his approval ratings, like a certain impeached president I could name, he would not have fought for the Patriot Act and the war in Iraq. He would not have resisted the howling ninnies demanding that we withdraw from Iraq, year after year. By liberals' own standard, Bush's war on terrorism has been a smashing, unimaginable success.
A year after the 9/11 attack, The New York Times' Frank Rich was carping about Bush's national security plans, saying we could judge Bush's war on terror by whether there was a major al-Qaida attack in 2003, which -- according to Rich -- would have been on al-Qaida's normal schedule.
Rich wrote: "Since major al-Qaida attacks are planned well in advance and have historically been separated by intervals of 12 to 24 months, we will find out how much we've been distracted soon enough." ("Never Forget What?" New York Times, Sept. 14, 2002.)
There wasn't a major al-Qaida attack in 2003. Nor in 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007. Manifestly, liberals thought there would be: They announced a standard of success that they expected Bush to fail.
As Bush has said, we have to be right 100 percent of the time, the terrorists only have to be right one time. Bush has been right 100 percent of the time for seven years -- so much so that Americans have completely forgotten about the threat of Islamic terrorism.
For his thanks, President Bush has been the target of almost unimaginable calumnies -- the sort of invective liberals usually reserve for seniors who don't separate their recyclables properly. Compared to liberals' anger at Bush, there has always been something vaguely impersonal about their "anger" toward the terrorists.
By my count, roughly one in four books in print in the world at this very moment have the words "Bush" and "Lie" in their title. Barnes & Noble has been forced to add an "I Hate Bush" section. I don't believe there are as many anti-Hitler books.
Despite the fact that Hitler brought "change," promoted clean, energy-efficient mass transit by making the trains run on time, supported abortion for the non-master races, vastly expanded the power of the national government and was uniformly adored by college students and their professors, I gather that liberals don't like Hitler because they're constantly comparing him to Bush.
The ferocity of the left's attacks on Bush even scared many of his conservative allies into turning on him over the war in Iraq.
George Bush is Gary Cooper in the classic western "High Noon." The sheriff is about to leave office when a marauding gang is coming to town. He could leave, but he waits to face the killers as all his friends and all the townspeople, who supported him during his years of keeping them safe, slowly abandon him. In the end, he walks alone to meet the killers, because someone has to.
That's Bush. Name one other person in Washington who would be willing to stand alone if he had to, because someone had to.
OK, there is one, but she's not in Washington yet. Appropriately, at the end of "High Noon," Cooper is surrounded by the last two highwaymen when, suddenly, his wife (Grace Kelly) appears out of nowhere and blows away one of the killers! The aging sheriff is saved by a beautiful, gun-toting woman.
