@WhyFi, I started reading Blood Song by Anthony Ryan and now that I'm halfway through book one I can safely say it is a well done piece of epic fantasy. Looks like it came out in 2013 and the next two in the series are already available so the author churns them out fairly quickly.

My softball team won the championship game in grand fashion today. Down 9-5 in the last inning, and with two outs, we hustled and chipped away at the lead and finally won on a 2-RBI blooper to the opposite field. We needed 5 runs, we got 5 runs. Much props to the guys for keeping the faith and not giving up.
Did I mention 4 of the 5 runs were scored with 2 outs?

It was a really great game to win. The opposing team was in shock, and in fact I think our guys were too. It's one of those fairy tale endings that rarely happen for real. And with 2 outs already . . . . . that's special.
As well, this team started the season with 4 straight losses. To come back and take it all feels pretty special.

They did a great job Billy. This shows them that it ain't over until the fat lady shows up.

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

On Saturday afternoon after getting home I decided get tyres and tubes on the new HED wheels. The tyres I wanted to mount were Continental 4000 S II. After pulling the skin off my fingers an palms I gave up and found some other tyres. I got those. Time for a bead jack for the HED wheels.
