Good luck! 
Rec league stuff or a big-boy tourney? I miss playing ball. 
Used to play a ton in Arizona. When I moved here, it was like I was trying to break into some kind of secret fraternity or something.

I can't do Saturday, because I'm in Sterling for work, but I don't have any Sunday plans... I'll give you a shout tomorrow night.

Skip, I can come down for a bit. Before I saw this thread my intention was to help with the remote today. I don't know how much heavy lifting I can do. My shoulder and neck is still tweaked from last weekends MTB fall.

Thank you all for your help today! 
As is the case with seemingly everything I do, it never goes as planned. Jeff(Hardtopguy) and I demo'd yesterday; some blatant deficiencies surface and any originals plans had to be scrapped... DO NOT PASS GO... DO NOT COLLECT $200!
Start from scratch we did. That included digging another two holes late into last night. We finally quit working around 11pm Friday night... back at it at 7am this morning.
With my garage looking like a scene from Sanford & Son, we couldn't find squat. Lou(Budman) saved us with "stuff." He also has some skills.
Next to show were Tom(Nandska) and Chris(Chris 
)- the muscle. They got to watch first-hand my humbling at Lowe's. 
During that time, Aaron(E3opian) and Ron(Beepbeep) showed and assisted in the unloading of lumer at the bottom of the driveway. Why? We used the race trailer to get the wood. Shortbed trucks suck for lumber. My old neighbor and friend, Juan, helped out for a good while, too. Tom from down my street offered up some tools to assist.
Again thank you all! I'll still be working on it for some time, but I can't even imagine how far we wouldn't be without everyone's help. One day of food/drink was not nearly enough payment.
At the end of tomorrow, I hope to have some pictures up... that is if i can get out of bed in the morning.
