Jr. High: road trip to Mustang country.
by dpankiewicz
We are on the road to Uniontown and the questions start popping up. Where is Laurel Highlands? Why do we have to drive over 90 minutes each way for a 60 minute game? Can we play with only 10 players? Can’t we just cancel now? What are we going to do without substitutes? We adults have learned through life that there are lots of unfair moments. Some of those moments have helped us discover strengths that we didn’t know we […]

The 1k challenge. . .
by dpankiewicz
Ok, the world of Phoebe and Crosby have been on hold for just over two weeks. Why? Well first there was the ride on DC, followed by pre-season soccer camp and now the season is kicking off. Some of you already know about those little reminders scribbled in my notebook. One of them says to share your story with anyone who will listen and don’t be small– I’ve started fcarmstrong.blog for that item. Then there was the part about vibing […]

First World Problems: Rest of the World Problems – Fred
by dpankiewicz
Yes, Fred pounded the Gulf. Here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania it impacted the location of our soccer practice one day and has us on dock and Kinzua watch. We are lucky that is the only issue for us right now but the consequences of climate change continue to show up everywhere. https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/app/nwd/?region=lower48&aoi=default https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.0/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=03030500&openhttps://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.0/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=03030500&open=122357=122357 https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.0/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=03032500&open=122372 https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/03012550/#parameterCode=00010&period=P7D https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.0/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=03031500&open=122361

B4 and after. A whole new shade.
by dpankiewicz
I had to pull this page back to the front. First we started with a paint job during the pandemic. It brightened up all of the old panelling and made those rainy days in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a little warmer. Then in 2021 we added a little grilling space. Needless to say meeting virtually and communicating here saved several actual road trips. Here’s the scope all ceilings are 8′, all trim is to remain as is with exception where […]

1001 6 th
by dpankiewicz
The big double lot across from the church was where we’d go as kids. Phyllis Sue I did a drive-by after practice the other day. No not that type of drive by the ones that are happening in Arnold, Homewood, Homestead, but instead one of the camera kind. The house still stands it now has aluminum siding instead of the asphalt fake brick. It looks like it is split into a duplex.

Brunswick to DC for DP.
by dpankiewicz
My buddy Daryl, did his 2nd Pittsburgh to DC ride this past week. Due to my life, soccer and work commitments I could only join him on the last day. I thought about staying with him in Harper’s Ferry, but then though that 50 miles sounded better than 64 for one day. When I realized I had a chance to stay in a building that is almost off the grid–lockhouse number 28 along the C&O Towpath without AC, running water, […]

Booty back and then find a lead foot.

Thanks Hil for the advice. That was the basic guidance we used to get Linds up on her board.

Putting some magic back into the magic city.
by dpankiewicz
Don’t let anybody tell you things cannot get done in the middle of a pandemic. This process may have started back at the end of 2020 but now that summer of 2021 is rolling along the change is starting to happen. The irony is this started one evening over Zoom with Leslie, Hilary, Drew, and David explaining the scope, the design, the materials and the need for a wow factor on Fallowfield Avenue. Then you add in the neighbor who […]

And something is still happening here.
by dpankiewicz
I am not sure if a line from Patsy Caruso is appropriate here but the aluminum awnings are gone and the original wood siding is finally being covered over—almost 100 years after the original construction date of this wood frame house. Back in the day the wood was killed in Charleroi, the homes are being built at a break neck pace and PPG had just closed their works in Charleroi and moved operations to their Ford City plant to better […]

My Lake Ontario date with my cousins.
by dpankiewicz
I’ve got the title might catch your eye it is not something freaky or poly. Instead it’s what you do when you pack your car full of cousins to attend if you enroll and support one of your other cousins who lives out of state. However you realize some of the best sunsets in the United States can be found off of the Great Lakes. After living in Oak Creek and enjoying the amazing sunrises and sunsets on Lake Michigan […]

The love was out in Gates.
by dpankiewicz
The ARRIGO extended family were in attendance to hear stories of Bill from his family and friends in Gates. There was his horse Cottonking? The parties on the farm in Lyons. We heard about his Nike missile days where he always had the deacons back on the front lines during the Cold War. Gates ambulance filled us in about his snickers runs. You may recall that the Riley crew zoomed in a birthday salute back on July 4 and we […]

Great grandpa Salvatore-2021 update
by dpankiewicz
Morning report. Repeat of a previous blog regarding ARRIGO history. A note about what our ancestors needed to do to not be who they were. Thomas was really a Sal. We are here in Rochester for Bill’s celebration of life sipping on some wine from Sicily. Telling stories about aunt Bessie being an Ignacia. Frank Thomas was originally called Chee-chee by uncle Peppino. Then there was the talk about Joel, Patsy and Cheech where they would make the annual trip […]
