Pickleball and chill

bill_schubertIt is cold today. Not freezing but ten degrees above that. Cold enough. Another happy day to play PB inside. I did my usual two hours and it was OK. I'm never really satisfied but it was fun enough and I got in half a dozen games.
One of the other players wanted to start up a group within our group inviting the better players. This lands below the aggressive advanced group but a little above some of our group. He is doing it on Tueaday and Thursday at noon. So four hours later in the day (everyone's retired so who cares). For those of use already signed up for Monday/Wednesday/Friday it offers up the possibility of playing every day. I'm not sure my wrist and shoulder will find that enticing. But I was invited and will play tomorrow (and my usual Wednesday) so we'll see how I feel by Thursday.
I used to ride my bike only every other day until one time I started doing my ride every day. Turned out I didn't need as much down time as I thought. I suspect this will not be the case now. I'm older and the joint stress is worse. But we'll test the theory.
Just now I cancelled my USAA Visa card with its $35000 credit limit. It will be interesting to see if my credit score goes down. Other than two Google screwups I've not used the card for over a year so it may not make any difference at all. But I don't need it and don't want to have it sitting around for no reason. One less thing to track. I've got $2.17 in my USAA checking account and think I've found the last auto deposit entity and redirected it so I can completely close that account too. And I just transferred the $2.17 so once that reads zero ... Another simplification in my life.
Meanwhile I really need a nap. So I'm off to take a shower and a nap.
