... Hadn't played in awhile but was Abe to walk yesterday when temps dropped down to the upper 80's but sprinkles and high humidity, unusual for Phoenix. Driver was about as good as I can hit it and putter saved my Word not allowed because my iron game was off. My excuse is I finally put together my queen size guest bed and it took about 4 hours andI was in sooooo many unusual positions left me so sore I could hardly walk or swing a club. 70 ain't the new 50. 😳  But it didn't seem to have a negative effect on my driver or putter you are thinking? Then you need to look up the definition of "excuse*". 

... 3 bogies and all of them coming on par 3's and I missed every single par 3 green. 2 mental errors and two bad swings, but didn't hit any of the 4 solid. I rolled in a 12 footer to save par on one of them or I would have been a perfect 4 for 4 with 4's and all the par 3's. I added 1 birdie on a par 5 and I also rolled in several long putts in the 10 foot range to save pars or it would have been worse. 



*a reason or explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault.

 

70 ain't the new 50. 😆

...... and 61 ain't the ol' 55. 👍

 

Enjoyed your recap chisag. 

Felt a little like Florida out there did it?

I bet your body was tight after the bed assembly project. 

Glad you got to play.

1st game of the season for the UNT Mean Green! We have a nice, shady tailgating spot, a good breeze, and enjoying some pre-game gumbo. We're 6.5 point dogs against Cal, the newest member of the geographically challenged ACC. We're hoping for our "the band is on the field!" moment.

 

Go Mean Green!

 

 

 

Mmmmmmmmm Gumbo!

I camped out for 2 shows: Aerosmith and Foghat. Had a friend whose mom camped out for us to get tickets to my first Stones show. We got all of our tickets at a nearby record store, but since we were in the ‘burbs, the lines weren’t nearly as long as those at stores in Dallas. Our store always had plenty of tickets.

 

And that first Stones show was a doozy! It was at Will Rogers Coliseum in Ft. Worth, which only has a seating capacity of around 5,000. A DVD of that show was released about 10 years ago - Some Girls Live in Texas. Great concert- Stones at their best! Here’s a taste.

 

 

 

 

 

Man that must have been a fantastic concert to attend TL. That's the Stones album that was released when I was in HS. Loved it.

Yes to Foghat. I saw them 3 times. 

 

This Stones video was recorded in Texas in 1978

Welp, so much for Paiute today. We got a TON of rain last night (as well as two weeks ago) and was a lot of flooding. I figured all would be fine today; even though it was super cloudy when I woke up.

 

Drove on out with plans to have a Cheeseburger (in Paradise) in the clubhouse (stellar food out there) before warming up only to pull up to the one and only little road in and out there to see this:

 

 

Apologies for backwards focus. 

 

With the busy AF week I've had, all I wanted to do was play my beloved Snow Mountain today. 😞

 

And no chance to make an alternate time anywhere else decent at noon on Labor Day weekend so guess I'll get drunk and listen to JB and watch the LPGA later.

... IKEA makes some good stuff for guest rooms that will rarely be used but Dayum "assembly required" takes on a whole new meaning with their stuff. 🙄

Aww Hell DJ, you just caused me to have a flashback. 

I bought a bunch of stuff from the same Ikea I bet you went to when I moved into my house in Scottsdale. Tempe right? 

 

Yeah it's a b**** to put together, especially for an impatient person like me. 

 

 

[touch]

Mr DJ, do you still enjoy listening to the Band Chicago or did you play their music so much you got burned out? 

 

If you do I found something that I have been enjoying, and I bet it would sound real good on your high end system.

Jimmy & his Coral Reefer Band with Dave Matthews.

Some Girls is my favorite.  Thanks for sharing, TL.

What happened Honda?  Why is it such a complicated job to swap a radiator in a newer pilot?  I appreciate the way Germans put cars together the more non German cars I work on. 

 

I miss my 88 accord.

Guess it worked out OK cuz it's raining like a SOB here now.

So while I was playing this morning had a flashback to college, the 3 guys I was playing with started the beers and cigars early.  I haven’t done that in a very long time, doubt I could handle it now.

BSC's favorite dish.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I'm Korean, but even I won't partake in that.  I'm too "Americanized".  I'm fine with kalbi, kimchi, japchae, and bibimbap.  I know that's not technically sannakji, but it's close enough for me.  Nope.  😁

I lived in South Korea for 2 years . I used to love the Bulgogi. I couldn't handle the kimchi.

It’s CA brother. But it’s Bruins when they are playing of course!
